Dangerous Restaurant Food
« on: 21 May 2008, 10:36 »

A long time ago I read an article in the "Wall Street Journal" about the dangers of high-end restaurant food.  At the time, very expensive restaurants liked to serve novel food, so they would import exotic ingredients from the far corners of the world.  The article said that mixing unusual foods from widely separated places sometimes resulted in dishes that made people sick.  The owners of one restaurant heard about a little fish that people in South America would catch and eat, so they ordered a load of them and made it their daily fish special.  It turns out that the South Americans do catch and eat them, but not as a meal.  They're a laxative.  Maybe Faye got off lucky.

Funny thing, most people get food poisoning from food they prepare themselves.

what's even funnier is that I know so many people who get food poisoning from instant food that they haven't heated in the microwave correctly.

Guys it turns out when it says to heat it for ten minutes, if I actually put it in for two it will be toxic!
