Last night I had to buy some dinner at an extremely over priced cafe, where the term cafe can only be applied very loosely. I had to buy it there as there were no other choices and I was too hungry to wait another few hours. There were various sandwiches and salads on offer, but it was dinner which means something hot and something with meat must be consumed. So really the choices were hot chips and a pie, or mexican nachos with chilli con carne. I opted for the nachos and wasn't totally disappointed despite the large price tag.
Anyway, half way through my meal I uncovered that a lone hot chip had made it to my plate. I was confused. How should I feel about this event? Should I be annoyed that a hot chip had interrupted the flow of corn chips? Had I missed out on possible corn chips that could not fit on the plate because of the hot chip? How much room does the rectangular prism of a chip take up compared to the layering of corn chips? Could a hot chip perform the function of a corn chip when scooping up chilli con carne?
Or should I be happy that I had received a hot chip in addition to the corn chips? Could I wipe my plate with the hot chip in a way that the corn chip couldn't? Maybe I had gotten away with sampling a hot chip despite the fact that I hadn't ordered any! Should I be celebrating my good luck!?
Was the hot chip superior to the corn chip or had I been dudded? I'm still not sure.
