Brussel Sprouts

[elliemay1]

Had a meal in an hotel tonight which we often frequent. I had turkey and ham with the usual veg, brussel sprouts etc. They were so hard that I couldn't even cut into them. Informed the waitress who came back and said, 'Sorry, but the chef says that's the way he cooks them, al dente.' I complained to the restaurant manager but he just laughed it off and said it was a new chef. What would you have done?
P.S Having written this I know it sounds trivial but I was annoyed!

I would have said that I don't care how the chef cooks it and I would have sent the meal back.
