The Dirty Duck - Heston's Dirty Joke - Made You Look


The vast majority of food poisoning cases are actually from poorly washed raw veg and salads. The single greatest cause of take-away related food poisoning is from re-heated rice, which has a specific and violently unpleasant bacterium.

Dirty Duck?

Am I the only person to have noticed the really bad bit of prose in Heston Blumenthal's 'apology' for the outbreak of dirtiness or whatever it was that apparently left a lot of people ill with sickness and diarrhoea ?

He actually said "I wish to invite them all to return to the Dirty Duck at their convenience". Wasn't the problem that they'd been almost glued to their conveniences ?

Is the man just stupid, or was he taking the mickey ? Shame he tried to cast doubt on the quality of the HPA report and ignored the bits about continuous contamination at his restaurant, sick staff being allowed to continue to work, and flawed dirty procedures.
