[...] Runny Camembert. Lovely gooey, stinky cheesy goodness and great with a wine with a bit of acidity, but not too much. [...]

Joie de Vivre: the cheese shop sketch is indeed hilarious – you can see it on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3KBuQHHKx0

Peppercorn Press: I agree absolutely that, in the restaurant case, something should be said. Personal situations (like the other crime you describe) are, of course, a lot trickier to negotiate!

Another Crime of the Kitchen… When someone takes cookies that were given as a hostess gift during the holiday, freezes them, then thaws to serve them as their own at a party the following year. Not only do they taste nasty, but they look like they are a reconstituted dogs dinner.

Now, I wouldn’t say anything to “this person” about how tacky that is, but I do believe I would speak up to the restaurant about their food being below par — especially if it is something that could definitely be done better – or you know that they have done better in the past. I wouldn’t want to serve my guests, let alone my clients, anything that shouldn’t be served. I would want to know.

I’ve never seen the cheese shop sketch, but it sounds hilarious. I also hate ordering something sub par at a restaurant. Do you send it back? Do you just leave slightly disappointed? I never know.
