Specifics?
FOUND by Erin
in Bellinham, WA
I found this comment card in one of the dining halls at my school, the reply by the chef was just too amusing to pass up, so my boyfriend took it off of the bulletin board for me.

The chef's reply Erin actually wasn't that funny Erin and I will no that you thought it was funny Erin but why Erin didn't you take it off the board yourself Erin SORRY Erin just asking Erin
Pink is a flavor.It may not be a desirable flavor, but it is a flavor none the less. Some of you know what I am talking about.
The word is actually "sherbet" from the French word "sorbet". And yes, pink IS a flavour. It's the flavour of that awful pink bubblegum that I can't bear to smell even at 10 paces. They call it "strawberry"---yeah right. Chemical strawberry. Nature's strawberries never tasted like that.
I always wanted to make pink sherbet and flavour it with mint or chocolate or something unexpected like that.
So was this at Fairhaven, Ridgeway or the VU? XD
Schools with Dining Halls, WTF. Even worse, they have 'share your thoughts' forms... In this world gone mad we won't spank the monkey, the monkey will spank us.
nk, like green, is in fact a flavor. Plaid, however, is not. Steve found this out when he visited the dining hall for the first time and ordered the plaid pudding, which he found to be distinctly void of any identifiabl
"Pink" is a flavor like "Britney Speers" is a flavor.
Pink it's my new obsession
Pink it's not even a question
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause YOU ARE SO VERY...
Pink isn't a flavor?!
My day is now ruined.
Certainly blue is a flavor, right?
Pink sherbet is not a flavor, but rainbow sherbet is??
Louise had an obsession with pink sherbet. She didn't know or care what kind of fruit it was supposed to taste like, but she had to see it on the menu. If there was no pink sherbet, she would freak out. In the school dining hall, there was no pink sherbet. "Pink Sherbert!" she wrote, so distressed she couldn't spell right. She started having a panic attack and her friends had to take her away. When Jerry the chef got it back, he decided to write a reply and put it on the bulletin board so girls with chivalrous boyfriends might spot it.
i actually laughed out loud at this one...!
I've gotta say, taking a comment card off of a bulletin board is stealing not finding. It actually goes against what this website is supposed to be about, I think. Change it to "Random Stuff," or "Stolen," if you're gonna post this sort of tripe. Just sayin'
Pink: strawberry, bubble gum, pink lemonade, watermelon, pink grapefruit.
"friendliness of service" score just dropped.
What about "Sour Green"? Even if Pink Sherbet's not technically a flavor--that chef knows darn well they want strawberry sherbet. He was just lashing out after getting too many snarky, "I'm so clever" share-your-thoughts slips from hordes of ungrateful college student diners.
strawberry
watermelon
cherry
pink lemonade???
Dear Roger,
Aside from your girly handwriting, what I've got to say to you is: "Oh good grief!" My comment didn't ask for a flavor at all, it don't matter to me what the flippin' flavor is, I just like PINK SHERBERT. I'm not saying you should serve it. I'm not saying you don't already serve it. All I'm saying is PINK SHERBERT! Revel in it. Say the name. Think it.
Now, go back to the kitchen.
Roger asked for my comment, so I have him my comment. And he rejected it. How can you reject a comment?? Way to go, Roger. Never going back to THAT dining hall.
Yes fooch, Blue is definitely a flavor.
@muse that's hilarious! hahaha. On another note, I felt like the comment was a compliment, as in "Pink Sherbert! It's so good I'm going to wet my panties!" so why the snooty remark from the chef?
Friendliness of Service: Poor
SherBET, not sherBERT. I know, sherbert is becoming acceptable now, but I wish it weren't. If we accept sherbert today we might as well accept libary tomorrow.
J in portland.. save your breath. it's all been said before. .."anything goes!" Tripe? that's a little harsh.
Just me, did you somehow miss Basil's (snooty) handy historical lesson on sherBET up there?
People take this too serious. Who are you correcting on the sherbert/sherbet dispute? The writer who probably isn't reading this? Or is it some kind of concern that impressionable novice wordsmiths could be forever doomed to misspell a word so seldom used in actual writing.
The same goes for the 'pink' as a flavor debate. If we're being persnickety about the spelling of sherbet we might as well take it upon ourselves to inform the world that 'pink' is a color, not a flavor. The descriptor 'rainbow' may be used for rainbow sherbet because the sherbet does not have a flavor intended to mimic one from nature, while there are a number of pink sherbets meant to mimic flavors found in nature (strawberry, watermelon, etc.)
Now, I think we can all agree to take a moment, chuckle at this post, and remember in the future that despite the fact that we CAN correct a minor error, does not mean we should take it upon ourselves to be so overfastidious and downright ridiculous.
As my friend just pointed out to me, it could be "pink schubert". Perhaps a very fancy Austrian pastry type dessert?
I've been calling it "sherbert" all my life. I doubt if that will change, even though I also speak French. I always assumed "sherbet" was the east-coast way of saying it; I thought both pronunciations were acceptable. It truly surprised me when I just now checked the dictionary, and "sherbert" is not even in there.
Now this makes me wonder.. is it ketchup or catsup?
I don't think sherbert/sherbet comes from 'sorbet'. Sherbet was originally a drink - the name comes from Arabic, and it's more likely that 'sorbet' derives from this than the other way round. Just so you know.
My original comment was deleted.

Homer: Purple is a fruit.
Therefore, Pink is a flavor.
@Exhibit A. Talk about taking things too seriously...
*chuckle, chuckle* There. Is that an acceptable comment?
Roger is a dink. Watermelon is not a color.
@Just me.
Haha. That was the point. I left a note that quibbled over unimportant things with the intention that people would see how ridiculous it is.... I was hoping the title "Exhibit A" would hint that it was an example. =] Guess I should have made it more clear.
No one likes to me made to feel dumb. That's all I was saying. Sometimes we spend so much time worrying about what's "correct" that we forget that we're talking to real people who sometimes make mistakes.
