Come Again?

I had been wondering whether to include typical "Dutch" items and decided I should provided they were funny enough. This one definitely meets that requirement: it's from a mailer I received some time ago from Iens, a major Dutch online restaurant guide. Iens work with volunteers only, and basically anyone can become a "taster". In their newsletter, Iens highlight experiences.

This couple went to a restaurant in Utrecht and list their impressions. "Rather messy", "were not welcomed right away", "quite disappointing", "gambas definitely overcooked", "were given steamed instead of baked potato", "although the wine was nice, it was not what we ordered".

Now I don't know about you, but I have seen people leave restaurants for less. Not this couple, though. Quite the contrary: to Iens' last standard question "Do you plan to return?", the answer is a rather surprising "Yes, definitely".

Who said becoming a taster for Iens required no qualifications? A healthy dose of masochism, at least.
