Knowing we have some poncers on here, WTF is Quinoa?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Sounds like one for Uncle STEMO! 

[scimmy_man]

its a sort of grass, it makes good bird cover for the shoot,

Im told some odd people eat it.

[Viral_Jim]

SWMBO has it sometimes, looks like the sweepings up out of a budgie cage - I wouldn't trust it. 

[zirk]

Bird Seed, but they dont like it much so there trying to feed it to Humans now.

[ronnyd]

South American cereal crop.

[Lizzie Zoom]

It is only for vegetarians, not for us committed meat eaters

[ronnyd]

The posh foodies pronounce it "quinwaa" , i just call it quin o a . Had some Friday as a side dish. Not much taste really.

To be eaten with a portion of Waitrose Tofu, washed down with a small glass of Chilean red followed by a  large glass of expensive mineral water.

Chilean red . . . . . so certainly not "middle class" then

I've never heard of it and I ate at a hipster restaurant on Saturday night.

Then again, it was all I could do to ignore the bloke at the next table's rants about how it was so unfair that everyone's trying to fit up Corbyn as a traitor.

Knives & forks can have more than one use you know Kevin.

Explains why they only gave me chopsticks, I suppose. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Even those, with a little imagination.

My Sunday morning breakkie in Weatherspoons, the nearby tables had the same topic of conversation as ours - was the waiter/waitress a he, she or he-she...

I can see you eating in a hipster restaurant!   

Did they serve the food on a old log, broken paving slab or something like that?

Would have thought that it would have breached food hygiene rules. When my eldest gets served a meal on something like that he always askes for a "proper plate".

Just making conversation, obviously.

Yes and it's interesting to know these things! 

So that if you decide to cop a feel, you know whether you'll get punched or slapped!

Ah, you mean like discussing the colour a wall has been painted with fellow diners?

Yep, that's it. Red or blue? Balls or fanny? 

[TheBoy]

Balls or fanny? 

And a conclusion was never reached...

Whereas the waitress at our establishment left no room for confusion.

A personal best/worst was when I was working in northern France. 2 crackers with stuff on, served in a picture frame filled with moss. 



I only took the photo as I didn’t think anyone would believe it otherwise!

Balls with a fanny is when you need to be concerned.

It's the chicks with dicks scenario.

Would 'pretentious' be a good word to describe it?

Wanky is better. 

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Or French. Same thing you see.  Far too lazy to use plates, as they would have to wash them after. The reason they eat snails is they are the only thing they can fickin catch. 

[Kevin Wood]

Oh, Wait! Wasn't a proper hipster restaurant for me. The food came on a plate.

The beer came in something resembling a plant pot, though.

Perhaps  I'm being pretentious prick by choosing the word pretentious.

It was probably something stirred up in someones garden shed that resembled muddy water and described as Craft Beer!
