Let me begin at the beginning. We were sitting in the pub having an ale and awaiting our lunch. Someone says to me that I should get a picture of the great food being served behind me. I take a look and, yes, it is great looking and I politely ask if the gentleman would mind if I take a picture of his food. In a very resigned voice, he says it is OK. So I quickly snap my picture, thank the young man and sit back down, again with my back to him. At that point everyone at my table starts berating me for doing that! How could I? How rude after what just happened to him!
Well, now remember that not only did I have my back to him, I am a little hard of hearing. So, unbeknownst to me, just prior to my taking the picture, the waitress poured ketchup all over his shirt and OH, my goodness it is in the picture! I had no idea that had happened and felt terrible about it. I was voted down when I wanted to go apologize. He must have thought me a real sickie. But great looking food isn't it?
That sounds like something I would do, so I don't take pictures of food in restaurants, unless it's mine and no one is around. That food looks excellent and I wouldn't have noticed the ketchup on his shirt had you not mentioned it, so it you ever see him again tell him the ketchup wasn't noticeable. Hope he at least got his meal comped.
