We all dream of having a fantastic time when we visit a restaurant, but sometimes, the experience is not so pleasant. According to a Twitter post, this woman, who was eager to indulge in some French cuisine, went to a restaurant and requested a vegetarian meal. However, what arrived on her plate didn’t exactly impress her. She shared a picture of the meal on Twitter. In the picture posted by her, we could spot: brown rice, spaghetti and finely sliced vegetables. Describing her experience, the woman wrote, “Visited a restaurant in the French countryside, asked for something vegetarian. What have I got? Rice, veggie peelings, and sauce-less spaghetti.”

Contrary to the negative sentiments, some individuals expressed appreciation for the restaurant.
One person posed the question of expectations, “What did you expect? Brown rice, which has protein. Pasta. Fresh vegetables. Not enough highly processed Frankenstein products for you?”

Another individual praised the presentation of a dish, “No, so nice. They tried to make a little steak with rice. And the vegetables were almost artfully arranged. Just needs just some oil and salt. Bon appétit!”
