A very Soviet lady in red enforcing the policy or is preferring two starters unacceptable?
The guy next to you should have then said you know what? I am having that starter then give it to you untouched when he got it. I was on an overnight ferry with my daughter who was about 10 at the time and we had a coupon for free shrimp cocktails so I said we'll have one each and my daughter was saying Dad I hate shrimp yadda yadda until she finally clued in to take it and then give it to me.
