Subway are currently selling footlongs for five dollars. I can recommend the Spicy Italian, it's gorgeous. Today, however, tomatoes were off the menu. A spicy italian without tomatoes ?!?! What's the point? You'll be pleased to hear they gave me extra olives instead and it was still delicious although a little less red. A close cross-examination of the staff about the sign that said something like "The FDA have warned people against eating raw uncooked tomatoes (as opposed to raw cooked tomatoes) so we've voluntarily taken them off the menu." revealed nothing.
Subway aren't the only ones, many other fast food chains have taken a similar cause of action. They have taken this action because of a Salmonella outbreak. And there's me thinking it was a bacteria that needed the kind of environment most often found in digestive systems to survive. As I've said before, I'm no botanist, and before we use words like Genetically modified, I'd like to suggest we raise the Terrorist Colour Code to Yellow.
It's a matter of hours before those bloody foreigners are blamed. Does anyone know if the U.S imports tomatoes from Iran? If so, hold your breath, that'll be identified as the source and the mere mention of tomato ketchup in a telephone conversation with your loved ones will result in the FBI knowing you prefer to be called Doreen at the weekends.
My advice, stock up on tomatoes now, they'll be cheaper than gas and everyone loves tomato soup.
