It's the opposite of restaurants, usually they don't let their staff eat leftovers.

depends on how close to the bus/dish position you are. i used to eat leftover tiramisu from the bus tub all the time when i washed dishes at an italian restaurant.

...not that i would do that today, but i was poor, and it was good :)

I don't see how any of these could be considered "mystery" veggies in most contexts, let alone on pizza.

I'm pretty sure they weren't unrecognizable or mystery and it's just being used as a pejorative for food they didn't like

Those are very normal weggebobbles for anyone outside the US. Big no-no to vegan cheese though.

Are they not normal inside the US?

Interesting. Consideration is key; but not above all else. Imagine being one of the staff from the article who felt obligated to finish the food out of some misguided guilt.

Perhaps they hire special staff members with enormous and undiscriminating appetites.

In the west we have “No Animals Were Harmed in the making of …”, which I’m only just learning comes from the American Humane Society: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Humane_Society#No_A... I had always thought it were a generic phrase!

Tripwiring (and thus fatally wounding) horses was quite a thing back in the day.

Wasn't there some horrible story about the number of animals killed in the filming of Homeward Bound or some similar movie? I simply cannot comprehend the callousness of people towards animals back then. I guess our cultures are simply too different, but it genuinely seems like people saw all animals as "things" until, like, the 1950s or something like that. What the heck?

I wonder how this plays out. As noted sometimes the staff can't eat it, heck sometimes you might not want to eat it. That has to happen pretty often. I worked at a company with a particularly sensitive HR team who would host pizza parties now and then, but they'd only order "weird" pizzas and I guess they liked it, but they were quite miffed when people stopped coming / didn't want to eat some pizza with some kind of…

Many years ago, I was on a training course, all typical engineers, and the guy who had organized it, a foodie, had ordered the day's spread from a very expensive and fancy catering place. Skeptical engineers eyeing the spread, which included such things as "cold orange soup"; one of them said "I should have brought my rabbit". The message was clearly received. Next day and subsequent ones, an equally high quality spr…

Eh, I find vegan cheese very variable. I never seek it out but experience it relatively often. Sometimes it's tasty and chewy. Sometimes it's a bland monstrosity. I don't know why.

Vegan feta has the best success rate for me. Unfortunately, feta has limited applications. (I'm not vegan but I like to try vegan products anyway.)

If you haven't make shakshuka yet, it's worth a shot. It's one of my favorite places to use lots and lots of feta. It's not normally vegan since it's topped with an egg, but that's easy enough to remove and forget. Eat it with toasted pita.

pretty much everything is in the Bible if you look, even automobiles: "and G-d drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden in His Fury" https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=plymouth%20fury&ia=images&i...

“Jesus and his disciples were all in one Accord”

And don't forget that Moses received the Ten Commandments on tablets, although it doesn't say whether he used iPads or something running Android.
