Why is is that ribs and crab are the only two foods that seem to warrant being given a bib at a restaurant?

Asked by tinyfaery (44083points) December 3rd, 2009

Lots of foods are messy: pasta, big burritos, pizza, Carl’s Jr., apparently.

That’s it. That’s my question. Thank you.

Because you just eat the other food like normal.
Ribs you OM NOM NOM into them, and crabs you have to savagely rip apart.

Gawd damn those two items sound delicious right now, bib or no bib. Do you deliver? If you do then by the time you get here I will have hand sewn you a bib. Seriously.

The messy rib sauce? The (potential) drippy butter/juices from the lobster? The fact that you get right in there (avec bib) and eat it with your hands (mess and all) just like a “baybey” (said like “Fat Bastard”)?

Maybe?

Nothing better than cracking open a bunch of crab pieces, piling the meat on a plate, dousing it all in fresh lemon juice and drizzling with drawn butter, little pieces of sweet sea meat stuck to the nose and mouth getting kissed off by someone with smiling loving lips. yum!

You guys get bibs for crab? I’ve been jipped without even knowing it this whole time!

I don’t count on other people to supply me. I bought a small, purse size box of disposable bibs for myself.

I am a neat and tidy consumer regardless of the fare, I can hit my mouth.
I want wet wipes to clean up my hands before and after, that is my request.

I have, um, a considerable bosom. I can eat literally anything and end up wearing it by the end of the night. They catch EVERYTHING on the way down. Truthfully, I wish everybody in a restaurant wore a bib for every meal, because then I could do it without feeling like I should also be wearing a crash helmet :x

So I just carry a Tide pen. When I remember. lol

@tinyfaery: I just sounded like the kind of question one asks when one is very tired. :) Hope I didn’t offend.
