Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
One summer day in Britain, a gentleman by the name of Jaswinder Singh is trying to make some kebabs for his catering business. Unfortunately, one of his workers dies and the authorities are called. But the food -- it must be prepared! While the corpse rests on a sofa in the kitchen, Singh continues to make his kebabs. When the constable sees this, he immediately closes the premises.But that's not all -- along with a corpse in the kitchen, there's a man smoking and spitting on the floor. Nearby, there's also an oozing, defrosted chicken covered in flies. And this isn't the first time that the food was prepared in horrific conditions -- Singh was already having problems after health officers discovered rat droppings and a dead rat under a pot, plus faulty refrigerators, mouldy food, and added filth. But have no fear -- Singh has been banned from running a food business in Britain again and has been fined 3,800 pounds.
This whole story brings to mind a restaurant I once ate in -- Skene Manor. But at least their rumored body was walled and stoned behind things, rather than out in the open.

But seriously, if the corpse was dead only a matter of minutes or an hour or so, how bad for the kitchen can that possibly be? In my fast-food days in high school, I think I had some coworkers with unpleasant personal hygiene, and they were still walking around...But then, the article doesn't say how the guy died...or if he's missing any kebab-shaped body parts either...

Slashfood is written by creatively bankrupt illiterates.

Thanks for the kind words, Noel.

The phrase you typed, Noel, should instead say "Spot on, Alex." It might be best not to critique another's misspellings or grammatical mistakes when you make them yourself.
Also, the period in Alex's comment should be on the inside of the quotation marks.
I am sure if Slashfood had a recipe for hypocrisy, you two would make wonderful dishes.

Only in American English. In The King's English, which is the standard in many parts of the world, periods and commas falls outside of quotation marks. The only exception to this, would be my usage at the beginning of my post, wherein the period was part of the original quotation.
