Adventures in pub food

I'm not sure whether to be concerned about this or not, but I've noticed something about the pub food here. We were at a pub a couple weeks ago, sitting in the middle of a group of energetic women screaming and hollering while watching a women's rugby match on the big screen, and I ordered lasagne. Seems like a pretty basic item, right? When the order came, this is what I saw:




Notice anything odd? Yes, that's a side of French fries ("chips") and cole slaw with my lasagne and garlic bread.

OK, I can deal with that. Fries are good with most things, after all. But then, last Friday night, we were at a different pub, one we're thinking of making "our" pub, the kind where they know your name, and I ordered enchiladas. I hadn't had any Mexican food in Ireland yet and it sounded pretty good. When the order came, it looked like this:




Notice anything familiar? That's right, French fries under my enchilada!

Is this something to worry about? I'm not sure. But don't you think there is at least a possibility that this is a conspiracy to make me gain back the weight I have shed from all the walking I'm doing? Makes you wonder. Stay tuned.
