Let’s start with the temperature: cold. Not room temperature. Not slightly cool. I’m talking fresh-out-of-the-refrigerator, forgotten-leftovers-from-last-week cold. The kind of cold that makes you question whether it was ever cooked at all. I poked it with a fork and I swear it flinched. Now, on to the freshness — or the lack of it. Whatever I ordered, it had clearly celebrated its expiration date and then gone on vacation. The snack was dry and sour, like it had been marinated in regret. The sauce had congealed into a jelly-like crime scene. And don’t even get me started on the vegetables — limp, grayish, and so lifeless I almost felt bad for eating them… almost. But I didn’t eat it.
