Mashed potato

I had a very embarrassing moment when I was invited to an office lunch where my boss was also present. It was a kind of banquet where everything was served in style. When the turn came for potato mash I did not know it was potato mash and thought it was butter. I wondered why anyone would serve butter like that I took a spoon of it and next it was the boss's turn. He put a huge helping on his plate. I wondered why he would want to eat so much butter. I watched from the corner of my eye what he was doing with it and also after tasting what I had put on my plate I knew what the story was. Indeed an embarrassing moment Image credit:

People may just think that you don't like mashed potatoes. I love mashed potatoes with a bit of butter.

I would feel wondered, too. In my view, mashed potato can go along with fried meals.

I love mashed potatoes and I'm actually having them for dinner tonight. After you realized it wasn't butter did you want to go back and put more on your plate?

At least you didn't spread it on your bread when everyone was watching!
