WTF

[deathstrike from hell]

Went to taco bell, and ordered a chalupa. No fucking tomatoes. They told me that because of the salomanella scare they'll no longer serve tomatoes on food.

Bullshit. I'll take that risk.

Bigger WTF for going to Taco Bell.

edit: They are basically covering their asses from litigation.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Taco Bell is the one fast food place I will not go to.

 

[neal]

yeh, this tomato shit has been going on for like a week.

 

[derek]

No word of it here. Surely everyone can't get their tomatoes from the same source? I've not looked into this AT ALL, so what credibility does it have?

 

[Altitudes]

I love taco bell. Fuck you all.

Some states are clean and some aren't, they say...

i think it was actually 100+ cases of salmonella in multiple states. so unlike the SARS/Birdflu etc scares this one actually has people getting sick.

 

[derek]

Interesting. A legitimate scare then, although still probably blown out of proportion. There are risks when having eggs with runny yolks, maybe the percentage risk is about the same.

I'd still be eating tomatoes. For sure.

Places I've noticed around here not serving tomato:

Bob's Burger and Brew
Taco Bell
Taco Time
McDonalds
Burger King
Wendy's
Arbys

... and a lot of local places

 

[neal]

yeh, im not sure if the markets have them, but all the restaraunts have stopped serving them for the time being.

 

[derek]

That's a shame. Tomatoes are integral to loads of things.

 

[DarkNoise]

ketchup, catsup, bbq sauce, baked beans (our home made ones in particular), salad, burgers, tacos, burritos, enchiladas, ..... i'm not giving it up!

Plus we buy all our tomatoes from a local gardener where you just buy it from a little shack sitting next to the actual garden. They've never had problems with any of their produce (fruit or veggie). They're not 'organic', but I don't care. 80+ years in the community, not one bad review ever... can't complain

 

[deathstrike from hell]

Glad to see i'm not alone. I'm not giving up one of my favorite foods!

 

[neal]

i had taco bell for lunch today too actually, and even without tainted tomatoes it sent me on back to back epic sessions upon the throne. and by epic i mean molten liquid shit and stomach bile painfully expelling from my sphincter like some sort of chocolate fire hose. NOT FUN.

 

[derek]

I personally enjoy that. Masochist? Maybe.

 

[neal]

i enjoy a good a shit like any red blooded heterosexual male, but this was just unpleasant. i think ill just have drugs for dinner and give my asshole a rest.

Negative sir. Tomatoes are vomit inducing for me. I like this recall because now I don't have to say "hold the tomatoes so my food rules instead of sucks" whenever I order anything.

I see what you did there...
"Chalupa" -- The proper way to order at TB is: "chupa la verga grande".
Try it and you will get tomatoes.

I recall you put a hold on the onions too. What's left to hold...the meat?
