But when her initial hunger had passed, she couldn't help but notice a certain slimy aspect of the dish, and immediately felt a sharp decrease in the taste factor. Swallowing her pride, she called the waiter and asked in english "what is it that i'm eating?". The waiter, with a surprised look on his face, said "mais bien sur madam, it is snail". As soon as she heard the word snail, her stomach
filled up with butterflies and proceeded to empty out its contents all over the table. How could she have been so thoughtless? It was not that she couldn't handle exotic food, nor was it that the prospect of eating something slimy was particularly unappealing. But having not known what she was eating, it had just come as a surprise and the fact she was already aware of the sliminess had only added to her stomach's discomfort. Feeling embarrased, she quickly placed some money on the table, and screaming "sorry, i'm so sorry" repeatedly, ran out of the restaurant. Luckily, her stomach had quieted down, and she decided that she was too hungry to just go home.
