You live a dangerous life, o fearless one. Now I know who to call to clean out that battle-scarred minefield in my backyard.

Same here, never ever made ill but anything I cooked, and never had food poisoning before until our last visit to UK. Had chicken at our local Zizzi's and became very ill soon after. Still ill after a week (diabolical d******a, no sickness, terrible cramps- so GP tested and it turned out to be campylobacter- stayed with me for 3 weeks, with a strong course of erythomycin thrown in. Not pleasant. But if I follow MY nose, and cook things really well myself - no problem.

Glad you enjoyed it- and hope will be well.

I guess with hindsight that if we want to avoid waste - we should (all, myself included) plan meals a bit better and shop accordingly. In the UK huge amounts of waste is due to 2 for 1 offers. If I have too much meat, or delicate veg, I cook them and freeze them asap.

Same with me - I've never had food poisoning from anything I have cooked I but have numerous times in restaurants.

Interestingly, never from meat (unless from cross-contamination in the kitchen).

The last time was from a salad at a restaurant in the U.K.

Luckily both my food poisonings were just the runs for two days; no other symptoms. But then my body tends to be a fighter, especially when it comes to digesting dodgy food.

To misquote American Werewolf in London. Beware the Tuna..

This is one you can't smell and poisoning from fresh tuna that hasn't been gutted properly can only be detected after 3 hours when you really do know about it

Hey, I can use the green smiley
