Let’s say I decide to go to a nice restaurant for a meal. The dish comes out, and I ask for a salt shaker before I even taste it (I never have, btw). That is normally considered an insult to the chef or you are pegged as a neanderthal diner.
Why, then, is it normal for a waiter to offer you grinds of pepper all over your plate before you have even had your first bite?
Do cafes there serve more than coffee and pastries? I’m just curious why they would have salt on the table, but not a restaurant and I’m flooded with ideas that are probably really dumb lol
I think this must be a language barrier thing because cafes serve a lot more than that here.
A picture’s worth a thousand words, so here is a random article with pictures of some cafes,
and here is an article with pictures of restaurants in the same town.
Obviously there’s a bit of crossover.
