    A. The guidance from the FSA states that it should be safe to eat if washed properly. If you're worried ask your waiter for your salad to make sure your salad is well washed.

    If you ask a waiter they might be offended and wash the salad in p1ss.

    Safer to eat in McDs - unless they decide to bleed on the burger and cover it up with ketchup.
    P*ss would clean it

    I was quite lax about washing lettuce until I found a grub in one a couple of weeks ago. Surely if you buy food from a supermarket you should have a reasonable expectation of it being clean?
    I once had a green caterpillar in with a packet of green beans. It was the same colour and diameter as the beans. Could have easily slung it in to boil.

    There is a definite correlation between tendencies of food to cause poisoning and to cause farting.
    Guess the Brexiters eat quite a lot of them then!

    Funny how the farts come out in the form of posts here

    More to get rid of dirt and creepy crawlies than anything.
