My friends are more adventurous than me
Out with friends tonight I brought up this subject of food sabotage.
One doesnt own a computer, the other two have never heard of B3ta.
so its up to me to pass on their stories.
Girlfriend A told me about one Xmas a few years ago she decided to do boxes of handmade liquour chocolates for all her workmates.
Spent a fortune on moulds, high quality chocolate and hours making different alcohol infused sugar syrup.
Each box would hold 10 delicious confections.
Over the 4 days she spent making them she would always find a few missing from each batch when she came to box them.
As she shared a flat with only one other girl, the finger of suspicion didnt have to point very far.
So one night she made a batch and left them to cool as usual.
However, one lot was filled with neat tabasco sauce, one with an anchovie, another with the scrapings from the grill pan, another with washing up liquid and the last with a liquidised piece of banana peel.
She said she didnt sleep much that night due to the constant bathroom use of her flatmate :)
Nothing was ever said LOL

Girlfriend 2 told me of problems she had with an ex boss.
She worked in a pub one summer and he was a right sleazoid who always kept telling her that he would *taste* her one day.
On her last day before going back to college the sleazoid told her he was sad he never got to fulfil his promise.
As she picked up her pay packet she sweetly informed him that he had.
For the last month, every time he asked her to make him a cuppa, she had put a finger into her pants rummaged around and then rubbed it across the rim of his favourite mug.
Cant repeat the words that were then exchanged ;)

And finally
Guy who currently works in a local gastro pub.
Told me, and to pass it on.
Never never ever select a dish from the specials board.
Its usually dishes made up from the previous weeks leftovers that they desperately need to get rid of if they are to make any profit.

Duly noted, no more specials for me, even if free
