Poisoned by a dodgy kebab

Should kebabs be banned from the U.K.?

The quality of the meat that goes into an elephant’s thigh is no worse than what goes into most processed pre-prepared foods, it may be labelled as meat, or in Maccy D’s case, ‘prime beef’, but is in actual fact what is called ‘mechanically recovered meat’. This can include being blasted off a carcass using high pressure water jets, the slurry then being strained to get all the ‘nice bits’ out.
Remember the horse meat scandal a few years back, many people said they weren’t bothered if there was a bit of horse in their crispy Findus pancake, what they were completely missing was the utter lack of quality control and traceability that goes into producing food that is fit for human consumption.
 
Back to the kebab issue.

I think it was a stroke of genius to invent a post-10 pint fast food that is not only a delicious, healthy self-contained meal, but is also composed a such a texture that you can fall asleep with your cheek on the uneaten half of the kebab! Far better than a pillow.

And the best thing is that you've had so much beer the night before that you wake up still willing and able to eat the half you slept on. :)
 
I should think you're just as likely to get sick after eating food prepared in your own home, where there are no official hygiene standards to adhere to, no inspections and no reputation to lose.
Some people even allow their dogs into their kitchens, which is pretty disgusting imo. I doubt you'd see such shoddy hygiene standards in a professional catering kitchen.
You are joking.I have seen an open sewer just behind the counter where the staff had lifted the cover up to throw all the waste down,it’s still a food outlet.Ex pro footballers pub the carrots in the pan were the colour of Scotlands shirts.If they can recycle anything they will .Less environmental health inspectors means they don’t get checked very often.Forgot to mention the fish and chip shop where we pulled a tray of fish out of the fridge and there was rat droppings on the tray (2018 ), This was closed the next day.

No, I'm not joking. How often do the kitchens in private homes get checked by Environmental Health inspectors?
 
I had a takeaway Miss Millie’s chicken burger for lunch once whilst I was at work, I had no breakfast so that was the only thing I had eaten all day. By the time I got home, I had a thumping headache and went to bed, I was sick several times with diarrhoea too, every part of my body that was in contact with the bed ached. I felt absolutely dreadful, so bad in fact that I even considered calling an ambulance.

Eventually after vomiting a couple more times throughout the evening, I started to feel better. I went into work the following day, before saying what I had eaten, a work colleague said “you didn’t eat anything from that Miss Millies takeaway did you?” He had got food poisoning from there previously also.

I should have reported the takeaway to the Environmental health department really!

You really have no idea of the hygiene and cooking practices of some of these places!
 
It can take up to 36hrs for food poisoning to present symptoms depending on type etc…
One of worst is campylobacter ( chicken) it’s in 80% of chicken on shelf’s

Bacillus.. often from rice that’s left out to cool too lor nv and left at ambient temp

Even vak packing … how many of us do that with or kill ?
Low oxygen environment can lead to botulism

Might not have been what you think it was that gave you the sh1ts

I definitely believe that when you eat something that upsets your body that much, you just “know” which meal it was that did it.
You can’t prove it, but you know.
 
You can't beat watching bones pressure washed to remove the " fresh lamb" .
Having seen that in a certain food plant I've never touched it since .
Chicken on the other hand lovely jubbly. 👍
