Yes, I said "fat duck"..But say it fast ten times and you're not saying fat duck anymore..Back in March of this year, Soup on my Fly reported on some rumblings in the tumblings in Britain at an expensive restaurant called the Fat Duck -- it was prestigious and pricey. And Soup on my Fly's ending observation concluded that the food from the Fat Duck gave the most expensive and explosive diarrhea on earth..
The New York TIMES is now reporting how it all happened at the Duck: Bad shellfish and bad hygiene.
Lots of bang for the buck at the Duck..
Porcelain thrones lined with gold .. ridding the body of that Foi Gras and shrimp salad..
The HPA report from Britain concluded, " These included a delayed response to the incident, staff working when they should have been off sick, and the wrong environmental cleaning products being used"
The report also mentioned oyster problems and clams.
But it doesn't end there for the vomit lined with gold.
Fat Duck's oyster supplier, Colchester Oyster Fishery, said, "The HPA inspectors have found traces of norovirus in our oysters, and in other produce at the restaurant which we did not supply. It happened in January and February when winter vomiting disease is quite common" Graham Larkin from the oyster company also said his company was a victim too, because of water contamination at a sewage treatment plant in Colchester. Incidentally, Larkin from the oyster company is allergic to oysters...
Whether the rich and famous stop eating at the Fat Duck remains to be seen, but just weeks ago, the Fat Duck for a perfect 10 out of 10 rating from the Good Food Guide 2010 .. Maybe just about the oysters for a bit?
