The edamame hummus I got for lunch had more green onions than hummus.

You paid money for this?
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
Nah. Luckily the waiter was as confused as me and comped it.
mmeeplechase@reddit
OP, please provide more details! I’m so curious about this whole interaction.
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
I ordered this yummy sounding hummus served with “fresh veggies and a baguette”. This comes out instead- no bread, shot loads of onions, and less than a tbsp of hummus. The waiter comes to check on me and um could not contain their confusion about the unhinged plating choices lol.
AppUnwrapper1@reddit
Was the waiter not the one who brought it out in the first place?
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
No. A food runner dropped it off and ran before I capsule say something lol
ThatGirlWithTheWalk@reddit
It looks like its already been eaten off of.
CheapTactics@reddit
Willing to bet the dish was not fully ready but the guy just dropped it like that. This is bizarre.
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
Can confirm the dish was plated as intended- saw a second one come out the exact same way
Ini_Miney_Mimi@reddit
r/kitchenconfidential would have a field day with this if you posted it there lol

Then the chef might be a large rodent. Wtf are they thinking lmao
carrotaddiction@reddit
I think onions are toxic to rabbits. So they're probably just trying to make it GTFO out the kitchen
Who_U_Thought@reddit
runner saw that plate and thought "I want nothing to do with this situation"
OldFoolOldSkool@reddit
That’s not a plate, it’s a cutting board.
LilArtsyCreature@reddit
The server equivalent of yelling "grenade!" and lobbing an explosive into an unsuspecting room. Knew it'd blow up and get messy, and wanted nothing to do with the fallout lol. I wanna know how rough it must've been in the kitchen for that to get sent out, by goodness! 😅
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
It was a very slow day
hamster-on-popsicle@reddit
So the chef was missing
Palm-grinder12@reddit
Runner probably plated it lmao
gramma-space-marine@reddit
Well how else is Chef going to get time to bang the hostess in the walk-in? Have the dishie plate it?! Pfffft

I was talking to this exchange student from China once. She said where she's from they would grow giant green onions, bigger than what you even, and hit them with some sort of sauce. I couldn't do it myself.
toughfluff@reddit
I mean, even in Chinese cuisine, green onions are still a flavour enhancer. You make steamed fish with it, you make scallion and ginger condiment with it, you make caramelised scallion oil and stir it into noodles ... I don't think they just raw-dog fistfuls of raw green onions.
Aleksandrovitch@reddit
“HERE’S YER FUCKIN’ ONIONS.”
Music1626@reddit
I was so confused, thinking you put the hummus on your cutting board to eat whilst you prepped your dinner.
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
No a professional made me this lol
bugblatter_@reddit
A professional... what? Gardener?
hamster-on-popsicle@reddit
More like a professional rabbit
Music1626@reddit
That is beyond crazy. Someone just slapping 10 half cut or uncut veggies on a cutting board with a spoon full of hummus and a slice of bread like… yep that’s masterful. Then wanting to charge money for it.
ThatGirlWithTheWalk@reddit

Worldly_Pool_1847@reddit
So none is mentioning the edamame part. How was edamame mentioned on the menu? Does the kitchen think the green onions are edamame? Is there edamame in the hummus?
DamnImBeautiful@reddit
Damn they expect you to chomp on raw onions just like that huh
PM_ME_UR_GAMECOCKS@reddit
This would be normal on the Balkans lol

Ukrainian national dish often served with raw green or usual onions. And it's tasty!

ibjibberdumgibber@reddit
My family move to the US during ww1 and left their culture behind :-( I hope their ghosts saw baby me eating onions like apples and chuckled that their bloodline was still strong 4 generations down.
Pride_Before_Fall@reddit
Raw green onion is surprisingly decent.
LonnieJaw748@reddit
If you have em like a minute on a hot grill it would be close to ok
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
Yeah! At first I thought they’d been charred, but no, just raw :(
Tha_REAL_BROBS@reddit
raw green onions are gud, actually.
however this plate is still a joke lol
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
I like them sliced as a garnish- never chomped on one whole.
Tha_REAL_BROBS@reddit
also, I noticed they cut the actual onion off the green onion. TF??
Tha_REAL_BROBS@reddit
they are really good.. but have to be nice young ones fresh from a garden. Not these big fatbois
Mary674@reddit
Assert dominance. Walk up to them and eat the onions without breaking eye contact. 😂
LonnieJaw748@reddit
Shameful
RickRiffs@reddit
/r/OnionLovers
big_duo3674@reddit
Yeah, give me a bit of salt to dip them in and I'll crush some raw green onions. There's a hard limit though, like they start rapidly tasting bad after about three
NickMcScience@reddit
Sounds fine to me but I’d be disappointed if I didn’t explicitly order that
L84cake@reddit
lol my whole family would be enthusiastic about it, in my culture we eat white onions straight, raw and plain. I mean I don’t personally, but it is normal in my culture (middle eastern) so depending where this is, that isn’t weird.
But it is weird that there’s so little hummus.
flypanam@reddit
I used to be neighbors with a family from the Middle East (Lebanon). Their kids were my age and we hung out a lot.
They would make either hummus or ful, and serve it with green onions, just like this. It was delicious, but god damn they would eat green onion like it was a carrot stick.
Ok_Orchid7131@reddit
Green onions/scallions dipped in salt are delicious!!
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
I have so many questions- but hey I’m taking the onions home.
katiechui123@reddit
I would have sent it back. Half of those spring onions look so manky and close to rotten.
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
I didn’t eat a lot of it. Took the onion home to cook with.
RevolutionaryRock823@reddit
Ummm?? Wat??
But also, my friend and I went to this really suspicious restaurant in the back corner of the mall that literally nobody goes to, but is always open, so we assume it's a drug front. We went there to eat, my friend ordered a burger and they just brought a bottom bun with a tomato on it and saw nothing wrong with it. So we were like "it was a burger... We need the rest of the burger"
So he left and eventually brought out a burger. All is well in the world. But then he brought a second burger out about 5 minutes later because he forgot he already gave us one. Guy was definitely blazed beyond comprehension. We were the only table in the whole restaurant lmao
super-bird@reddit
How was the burger though?
Tomato slice on a half bun is hilarious.
RevolutionaryRock823@reddit
Sucked. There's no way they ARENT a drug front.
WeakTransportation37@reddit
This is awesome. I knew a restaurant like that. Got the longest time I thought it was a shuttered business. I got the nerve to go in bc they had a sign saying “Chinese Italian”. They were super confused by me being there, but the tiny plate of spaghetti was fine. It was definitely a money laundering front
ArcticPoisoned@reddit
I know a place like this. Went to the late night sushi place beside it only to look over at the Italian restaurant that had all its lights off and was closed but had…like a bouncer or a body guard outside? We always joked that place was a mob front but now I’m convinced lol
RevolutionaryRock823@reddit
Omg that's hilarious, what is Chinese Italian?? They were sure they scared everyone off but you got too brave.
ClairLestrange@reddit
Maybe r/KitchenConfidential could shed some light on how the fuck something like this happens?

"Uh, yeah. Edamame hummus costs a LOT. We get these green onions basically free."
*shakes head, walks away, thumb pointing backward* "This guy."
xenophon57@reddit
the goof ball that ran this just stole the onions from someone doing prep in the back. Someone is going nuts trying to figure out where the onions went. "I got all the white chopped but where are my green finishing scallions?!?!?!?!?"

Practical-March-6989@reddit
The fuck you supposed to do with that, did they give you something to cook it in?
Skystrikersilver@reddit
My first impression of this was not a restaurant, I thought it was just a cutting board at home with a bunch of veggies plopped on it T.T
Jeramy_Jones@reddit
It looks like they just wiped someone’s messy prep station onto a cutting board and served it.
mudokin@reddit
Did they confuse you with the new hire line cock? I think you were supposed to finish the prep on that.

On top of everything else, I don’t love the idea of serving hummus on porous, scratched up wood.
Sleepingbeauty1@reddit
I know, and it's also logistically uncomfortable, you'd have to kind of smear your veggies against the hummus to even get it on them. And keep scraping them against it. One time I got served a bagel like this, the bagel was toasted, cut in half with nothing spread on it. The cream cheese was glossed onto the tiny plate underneath the bagel. I would have to remove the bagel, put it on a bare table and spread the cream cheese on it. I was so annoyed I had them remake it with the cream cheese spread on the bagel like a normal way.
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
Yeah… everything from plating choice to proportion of items was wrong tbh
AffectionateCows4evr@reddit
Isnt there an r/wewantplates ?
romariojwz@reddit
Little bit of broth and you've got a stew going
l_e_n_a_l_i@reddit
WTAF 😳 the lack of a plate is not the main issue here. They really sold you raw onions as "fresh veggies" along with this vanishing "hummus". And the upgrade was more bread??? I really hope you didn't pay for this seriously.

RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
I feel like there was a demo plate or something that they could’ve based the plating off of lol. Why the onions 🙃
AloneFirefighter7130@reddit
I'm appalled at the oily/wet hummus on wood serving choice. Use fucking plates ffs... there's no way this style of serving can be maintained food-safe in a restaurant environment. Wood is only ever ok for dry food charcuterie boards. NEVER for wet foods.

My cousin did something like this once. We had a party and I asked her to make a crudite platter she had whole green onions on the plate. No one ate them
CarebearsAreBadBs@reddit
Why is it so wet? So many wrong things all in one place
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
Chili oil and very wet veggies
CarebearsAreBadBs@reddit
A true abomination. I would have been so sad because I love a GOOD edamame hummus.
RoseMary94@reddit (OP)
It didn’t taste terrible tbh. There was just so little of it.

I think they gave up halfway through making the dish and brought out the work in progress, complete with cutting board

I think green onions are quite expensive nowadays (maybe starting from last fall).
They probably should not provide you with that much green onion.
