Last year one mid eastern "restaurant" near me had a dead body upstairs hidden in a hot water tank cupboard for two years, the warmth had mummified him.
They had killed one of their staff and hid the body, They have been closed now.

Well you are still here Tony, so you must have a good constitution !!!. I have no faith in the local councils hygiene certificates, our local Indian was showing max 5 for hygiene, and recently fined heavily for mouse droppings, and general dirty kitchen, kt

hippopotamous droppings keith? jp

WE have a Chinese restaurant where we live, only ever bused it once.
Went to the gents to find sacks of rice stored in there, kind of puts you off a bit.


But In Cambodia we watched and old lady making rice paper sheets the way they have always done it.
My advice to you, do not eat anything from there that come sin Rice paper.

John, i obviously cannot comment on the ladies in the loo, and hand washing, what i do know is that in the gents the number of times using the urinal, blokes just walk out without washing their hands, and you know that when you get to the door to exit, there is no way of getting out without using the handle !!!, i now use a tissue to open the door, and then have a problem disposing of the tissue.I can see on cruise ships, hand rails etc makes it a real problem, kt

Keith, from my observation the men are good at it on the cruise ships and ashore here in Oz.
Only saw one on a ship that failed to wash, h got the biggest bollocking from another guy in the loo, doubt he ever missed again.

From today's DM. Young's a pub chain in London are jumping on the vegan band wagon, charging £28 or troast cauliflower steaks.

Even Greggs the baker's now do a vegan sausage roll and they are selling out as soon as they go on the shelves. They use Quorn for the filling which actually is quite palatable, though why you would want a non meat product made to taste like meat is beyond me. The biggest producer of Quorn in the u.k, is situated in the north east which somehow does not fit with the stereotype northern beer swilling, pasty eater portrayed by the southern Islington set.

I recall a trip home, somewhere on the south coast UK heading for Southampton when the chef dumps breakfast in my lap at the wheel muttering about how we only have vegetarian sausages and tough if you don't like it.

Well I'm not really listening and when I come to cut my sausage it just rolls around the plate unharmed! I try again and the knife barely grazes the skin. I call out what's up with the sausages and he tells me they're vegetarian. I ask why I can't cut them. He says he microwaved them until they looked OK as he'd never cooked vegetarian sausages before.

Apparently when I picked it up and banged it on the chart table and then looked at it enquirngly because it was like a piece of steel I lost my credibility as a food critic.
