Supposedly the worst insult you can give a cook is that the food was burned.
But I got a worse one.
When I was going to college I made a meal for a school friend of mine who lived far out of town and had to play some solos in a concert that night.
I was an expert an making hamburger and boiled potatoes.
I cooked the hamburger very slowly and I cooked the boiled potatoes just right.
Other people who sampled my cooking always said, “How do you make that taste so good? It tastes like candy.”
But this guy ate, then suddenly got up and headed to the bathroom, where he threw up.
I have to say, I was insulted.
The actual name for this dish is “Fish Flavored Eggplant” ( Yu Xiang Qie Zi)— altho there is no fish in the dish. The sauce (flavored with garlic) goes well with fish-— hence the original name. But most menus call it “ Garlic-flavored Eggplant”.
I remember in college when the student cafeteria would serve a meatless ‘eggplant lasagna’. Hey, go one better and leave out the eggplant as well. Slimy textures ruining a perfectly good lasagna.
That would be my guess sir. The customer had a "beef" with the cook, and got smacked for it.

The customer then beaned the cook with an Asian coconut from across the room, who then rushed back over and creamed the customer with a Chinese ladle, who then got back up and proceeded to pancake the cook, who then turned around and waffled the customer. It was all pure Cantonese culinary combat.
This might go on all day long. 😂😇😀😆
We could just stick a fork in it.
We better, or this WILL go on all day. 😆
