Forgive me Father for I have sinned..

I swore last Tuesday that I wouldn't have another Parma for a while. But when we went back to The Joint Bar on Elizabeth St on a Thursday for $5 meals, we had a choice of fish'n'chips or chicken parma.

Last time we were there I didn't have a good experience with my lasagne at all, and made a comment that I should've had the fish'n'chips, then none of this would ever have happened.

This time I should've had the fish'n'chips again, but I went back on my word and had a parma. I'm sorry. So, so sorry..

Sorry to the Joint Bar also. It wasn't very nice, but hey, I'm only being honest here. So forgive me if I sound harsh and rude, but it must be said.. I could've gone up the street and got a better chicken nugget with more real chicken in it than this monstrosity that I had to force myself to eat.

No salad, and the chips were so salty it was like eating a handfull of capers, and I don't like capers.

The 'schnitzel' itself was, as I said, really just one big, pre-crumbed and frozen chicken nugget, deep fried to order and covered with maybe a tablespoon of the same napoli that was on my lasagne (shudder) and some cheese that almost hadn't been melted properly, I think there was a small, wafer thin sliver of shaved ham in there but I'm not too sure.

2 out of 10 guys. I'm sorry, but even still for 5 bucks, I'd rather go up the road and eat the clown's food or maybe go to North Melbourne and pay an extra 5 bucks and be well fed and happy.

The only saving grace was that I got a free pint of draught with a discount card that I ripped from the bookings and savings guide, so I guess I can't complain getting a pint for only $5!

If I'm ever there again, and I most likely will be because it's actually not that bad a bar, I'll try the fish'n'chips... maybe.. just don't let me down this time ok?!
