Meaningless Pub (food) signs......or is it me?

'Chilean' sea bass is the 'rebranded' name. http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/4-foods-renamed-so-that-you-might-actually-eat-them/

Sea bass is still bass (the 'sea' bit of it always niggles my OH slightly, I just presume it's there to distinguish it from farmed bass).

Thanks, you're right. "Line Caught" always seems to be part of the hyperbole.

But don't assume it's a dude with a fishing rod. They drop huge lengths of cable into the sea with an awful lot of hooks then just drag it on after a while.

Overheard in my local, when asked if the food was fresh cooked, the bored barmaid answered--of course, "fresh cooked from frozen". How we chuckled.

Yep. Kilometres of the stuff with thousands of hooks, GPS transponders, cyalume lights, you name it. A light spinning rod in a Cornish creek it isn't.

Just passed one on my way back from the Heath: 'Come and discover our secret garden.' Not that secret, is it? I muttered...

Very similar with this bunker.

....'real ale'.......so much better than that fake stuff from China eh. Never seen advertised any 'real lager' or 'real guinness'........

I'm taking it that you're having a bit of a tease there.....

.......but just in case you aren't, I'll throw in this link : http://www.camra.org.uk/about-real-ale

When younger, and still able to drink, I would have stood foursquare behind each of CAMRAs main points. Especially the one about people going out and visiting pubs, and trying different ales in such pubs. Perhaps university credit should be offered. Much better than pubs in the US, I'm sure.

The local bakery has a sign up inside advertising "German Paris buns."

Last time I looked at a map of Europe, Paris was very definitely in France and if it has moved country, why have I not been informed of this huge event

The buns were from around the early 1940's ? They also had German baguettes and German croissants as well. Possible all a bit stale through after 70 years in the freezer

.....fear ye not, I do drink real ale, as well as the not so real stuff, but far too much pretentiousness surrounding the whole genre I think

A pub where I live had a sign which appeared at first glance to say:

FREE

BEER!

If you looked closer, it actually said:

FREE
wifi while you drink your
BEER!

I regularly see ATMs which claim to offer "free cash" but every time I try one they deduct the money from my account balance

Slightly OT but along the same lines, Mrs Pplpilot refuses to eat in a place that give instruction on how to order your food.

1- find a vacant table and note the number
2- place your order at the bar quoting table number
3- sit back relax and we will bring your food to the table

Then what happens ?

Sign seen in Peter Kays Car Share outside pub.

Buy one pay for two.

Free function room hire, always makes me smile.
