Shop front - Lentil As Anything
More hard times at Lentil as anything. The table next to us was lamenting the fact that the menu only had 2 items, a Lentil Burger and a Mala Kofta, a sort of a potato dumpling, or that was what our attractive waitress who spoke halting English laced with what we thought might be an Argentinean accent.
We ordered one each. What we got, was one lentil burger each. No wonder both of us were given sauce options, sweet chilli, hot chilli, pesto and satay. The lentil burger was surprisingly light, due in no small part to the pile of salad and the mayonaise.
We later learned, that this place was that close to closing. At which point, the manager/supervisor, or rasta-man, held up 2 fingers with a centimetre gap. He mumbled something about how hard it was and that they were slowly getting back on track. Good.
Despite the limited menu, we were satisfied. As John Lethlean describes, "You slip what you reckon's a fair cop into a box with a slot in the top. Perish the thought of a receipt. Nobody knows. Except you and your conscience. Well, mine's clear; I can go back. I will." So will I!
(We paid AUD30 for two burgers, a chamomile tea and a chai with honey. Is that fair?)
