Maybe it depends if you’ve had serious food poisoning. I picked up a Campylobacter infection once while working abroad. Stomach ache, dreadful indigestion and wind for a few days while it got ready to attack, then fever for a few more. Couldn’t be upright without shitting myself once it got a grip - and then, when you think there’s nothing more you can cope with, shitting blood.

So, no, I wouldn’t.

Yep. Me too.

Campylobacter is a life threatening infection. Seriously messes you up.

That article was published on 30/4, showing St Pauls in Worthing to have a 2, where as it was inspected three days previous to that, on the 27/4, and awarded a perfect 5. Well done Herald

Unable to eat takeaway food or out in the evenings so it doesn't matter.

I have to have exactly the same meal every night otherwise I'm usually violently sick.

Sorry to hear that - I have to ask - what is that meal.

My ring tone is Deep Purple. I blame Albion Kebabs.

I don't have a problem. The ratings are always months out of date and often relate to training or paperwork issues.

This. My ex ran a very popular kitchen and got a 1 star due to paperwork issues. No complaints from anyone about the food- including inspectors..

Roast chicken with spinach, broccoli, carrots and cabbage.

I've got used to it. I can still have the odd small chocolate bar and fruit afterwards but plenty of food rich in iron is essential.

The worst illness I have ever had. Took me a couple of months to recover. Reheated curry was to blame. Never eaten curry since!

I had some chicken skewers from a street vendor in the Dominican Republic. Nearly saw me off. Luckily I was young enough to get through it. The tiredness and lack of energy wiped me out for six months.
