I went to a very sub par italian restaurant for lunch today. Someone at the table ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella appetizer.
What came out was a weird dark brown lump surrounded by marinara sauce. We all looked a little puzzled. The waitress (who was either not on her game the whole time, or had no game to be on) said, "It's cheese wrapped in bacon."
Sadly, the worst part wasn't that she simply though one could replace the word "prosciutto" with the word "bacon". The worst part was that the 'chef' seemed to think he could replace the meat 'bacon' with the meat 'prosciutto'. The reason for the confusing brown lump was that the prosciutto had been cooked like bacon. And what may have once been a lovely hunk of fresh mozzarella had been unceremoniously melted. The whole thing was an offense to what that dish should have been.
