Urban Legends about local restaurants/takeaways

[Tinkerbell]

I heard a nasty rumour tonight about the The Golden Orient, Buffet Bar - Chinese - Hurricane Close, Stafford.

Sadly my son came home from school (as he heard it in the playground) and I also had a phone call from the mother in law lol

Anyway, without going to much into it .. there has been rumours they found dead animals in their freezer !!

SERIOUSLY if this was the case they would have been closed down straight away!

I did actually ring them ... and they said this has been a rumour going round for 2 weeks.

Its hard enough to get a business going nowadays. but I personally cannot help wondering if this started when the travellers were sent packing. The same rumour was started about a chinest buffet bar in Newcastle/

Anyways, whoever started it - if there was ANY truth - they would have been shut down.

Can't believe people still spread this shite... seriously, when people tell me the one about the kebab shop with traces of semen in the mayonaise, the indian with dog instead of chicken...

The same story every time just insert the name of your local restaurant....

This was said years ago about a take away in Gnosall.
As you say they would have been shut down immediately.
There was also a rumour a few years ago about what was being added to the mayonaisse in a take-away on the Newport Road.
If it wasnt so sick, it'd be funny!

I heard a slightly different rumour and also one about a microchip and the takeaway on Parkside.

I would be concerned about a restaurant that DIDN'T have dead animals in its freezer.
Dead animals, remember, includes parts of cows, pigs, chicken, and ducks.
No dead animals means a menu of tasteless green mulch.

I did once work in a filling station that for a while had a dead golden retriever in the freezer. The owner was a taxidermist, so that was ok. (it was in Preston, so don't start any rumours)

For several months I had a dead polecat in my freezer - on behalf of a conservationist who lived with a veggie at the time..

Wow, that really is conserving (or maybe preserving them?). Freeze the buggers.

It had been hit by a car near Walton Garage.

Like OMG! Meat is dead animals?

I had NO idea!

Yes. Apart from "Soylent Green", which is people.

 

[John Marwood]

Like biting your nails?

Awesome!!

 

[Timeflies]

I have of loads of dead animals in my freezer..... Some shape like burgers, some on top of pizzas and some even sliced into chop form.... I did however once find a dead fly in my freezer!

I always thought the food at the golden orient came from tins, certainly tastes that way! Well, some comes from town. Iceland were selling off king prawn skewers for 25p a pack and the next weekend I saw loads of them in the GO!

 

[tekkers]

I heard one about a microchip and the Golden Orient yesterday, from a mate who said the person that told him, was the one who was eating it. Who knowsss what is true!

 

[Gramaisc]

I suspect that this is just a resurgent urban myth.

Nobody would really order chips with a Chinese, would they?

Makes me smile on the odd occasions I use The Big Wok in Birmingham, people paying a fiver to pile their plates high with chips.

Or my cousin who basically pays to get in and eats sweetcorn [mostly] and salad... weird.

There was that famous case in Wolves tho where the staff were preparing the meats for Abrakebabra or wherever and there was a dead colleague sitting alongside them...

Many years ago I was in a Vietnamese restaurant in deepest France and the staff had no English at all. I was elected translator by the Cannocky types that I was with, who barely had English themselves. One of them was insistent that he was to have chips with his curry. By this stage, my head was spinning and I searched frantically through my head for the right word from the food section of available french words. I knew it would be about <this> long and begin with an 'F'. Unfortunately, I grasped at the first available food-associated F-word and ordered him a 'curry flambé'. She went and got everybody out of the kitchen to come and look at us....

Reminds me of when my father in law wanted a jam sandwich (he's no good with foreign food) so tried to order a djam buttee. Needless to say he had no joy with that one.
