Warning about Take-Away's ......

Re: Warning about Take-Away's ......
yeah, I feel sorry for the parents, it's horrible what happened, but are we really going to change our habits after this...I doubt it.
I imagine there is a massive amount of take aways being eaten day in day out and normally no one dies from it, you have more chance of being involved in a carcrash I reckon, and still we are on the roads every day.

makes you think what...that you are never going to have a take away dinner anymore?

This news story seems very strange to me. It is very odd that three people should contract food poisoning from a takeaway, which results in the death of two of them, and yet there are no other reported incidents.
The speed with which the authorities jump to conclusions as to cause and effect, probably without thorough investigation, is a worry.

Re: Warning about Take-Away's ......
I disagree. The meal would have been individually prepared for the three customers, two of whom were young children. The only survivor was the adult. Don't see any "jumping to conclusions" where lives are possibly at risk through poor hygiene or food storage. The authorities were right to act promptly, thereby possibly saving more lives.

I agree with Lion heart I'm afraid - if it was seafood for example, it would only have taken one rotten prawn to spread the bacteria around that meal and children would obviously be hit much harder than adults.

ok folks lets be honest about this. Who hasnt had a dose of the runs in Dubai?
I reckon i probably know someone personally who has got sick from almost every so called good restraunt in dubai.
my personal nemesis is any rotana restraunt serioulsy shite food and upset stomach every time to he point where i now refuse any invitation to dine there regardless of who i piss off
Coconut grove I love but seems to practically kill anyone else i go with, must be immune to their particular bug.
if they are going to close places on hygene grounds they might as well close the city down

In case you didn't hear about this:
quote:
A terribly sad story has just come about a colleague of mine. Like 3 weeks ago when a young sharjah girl passed away from food poisioning, this colleague had both her children die over the weekend, also of food poisioning. They ordered chinese take out from a restaurant near the airport and by 9pm all of them were sick. They went to the hospital, but were sent home being told that all would be ok. By the next day both the 5 and 7 year olds had died.
unquote
Turns out the restaurant involved was The Lotus Garden........ and The National has an article this morning which scared the shi* out of me; turns out that most places here SWITCH OF THEIR FRIDGES to save electricity overnight
Thank God we're veggies in this house and we do NOT order junk food of any sort. To lose two kids like that - My God ................. how sad
