This gem was overheard in a restaurant. The speaker was not happy with the way his food was prepared, so he proceeded to utter this mash up of “piece of one’s mind” (frank and severe criticism) and “a taste of one’s own medicine” (retaliation or repayment). “Taste” must have been on his mind given the venue. I wonder what the mind tastes like? A shout out to David Stephens for sending this one in!
It tastes like sweet bread.
Precisely.
