Watch out for flaming sausages

flambeIf ever you plan to grab dinner at Sporting Clube de Londres in West London, make sure you wear a welding mask.

At least, if you order the chorizo appetizer.

Rui Daniel Faria Velosa, the owner of the Portuguese restaurant, was fined April on April 12 for an incident that occurred back in May 2005. A server brought the appetizer in the ceramic dish to the table. The food was already flaming, but the server returned with more rum to top off the dish. The rum spilled all over the woman, leaving her with burns on her face and hands. She spent two weeks in the hospital and still suffers from flashbacks, panic attacks, and anxiety.

If that happened to me, I'd probably eat raw food for the rest of my life.
