What's the one word that strikes fear into your heart? One word that makes you shudder just hearing it? A word you do your best to avoid saying out loud?
For me it's 'goulash'.
That one word brings back such a range of horrible memories. Goulash was on the menu on a Monday. So on a Tuesday the staff got goulash for their dinner. Now I don't know what happened to that particular goulash in the 24 hours it was in the fridge. But something must have done. If we had serve something that horrific to the guests we would have had serious complaints. It must have fermented in the time it was sitting in the fridge It had a kind of sickly sour taste and there was something in there you just couldn't identify. And there was always little bits of a hard, wood like substance that you had to pick out your mouth. You always felt a bit ill for hours after eating it.
And it wasn't just me that hated the goulash. Everyone hated the goulash. I doubt if anyone who worked in that hotel will ever have goulash again. I expect everyone will avoid it like the plague for the rest of their lives. I was talking to Miss P the other day and even the word Goulash had her feeling a bit dodgy.
That it all I have to say on that subject. I will have to avoid talking about goulash again
