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

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

He may have thought you were not a big eater.

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?
