This is going around via the Electronic Mail. Who here can attest to its veracity? If not, why not stick the boot in to your most maligned culinary outlet in the comments.

On Sunday I went to [an upstairs on woolley st] restaurant in Dickson and found a cockroach INSIDE my dim sim. My partner was totally grossed out and lost his appetite for the rest of the day (he had already shoved an entire dim sim into his mouth before I showed him my special dim sim). We decided we should inform the ACT health inspectors, not to get anyone in trouble but to prevent people from getting SICK. This morning I rang ACT Health Services but I wasn’t sure what good that would do. I gave them the name of the restaurant, what I found in my dim sim and the waitresses reaction when I showed her the cockroach. Anyway, I just received a phone call (3pm) from the health inspector telling me he had paid the restaurant a surprise visit and found many cockroaches, dead and alive, in the kitchen. He has issued a notice to remedy. He also told me he has had to go to this restaurant before about their toilets. He said that the restaurant was marginal in its standards and did just enough to stay in business.

Why eat out when Continental and The Hoff make it so easy to hook in at home. With products like this, how can you go wrong?
