My last job was as a Seafood department manager for a major supermarket chain
in NJ, USA. There was some guy, tipsied up, telling me about fish. That
Haddock and Halibut are the same. I wanted so badly to correct him on it, but
I just nodded and said "yep! Care for another?"
A lady came in, and wanted a chocolate martini. So, I whipped out the Vodka
and the Creme Cacao. She asked what the hell I made. I said a chocolate
martini, maybe she knew a different recipe. I asked what she expected. She
said something with ice cream. So the hell of it, I looked through my boss's
BOOK OF MARTINI's .... over a thousand different martini type drinks. NOTHING
in there about using milk or any sort of dairy cream, or ice cream, or
anything at all for any sort of chocolate martini (there was about a half
dozen variations of a "chocolate martini").
But, next time she comes in, i'm going to say I learned one recipe. I'm using
the Godiva liqueur, vanilla vodka, and ... yep, milk, and gonna mix it for her
to try and get close to what SHE wants.
Frankly, i don't give a rats ass over what the proper name or proper way of
making something is. I want to make the customer happy. Now, she wants a
creamy chocolate martini? That's what she's getting next time she comes in.
