Obama has his own ‘food taster’

8th June 2009 By Sten No Comment

We all know from history that Kings used to have their own personal food tasters. Well, not only Kings any more, but also, seemingly Presidents, who for some reason fear for their lives:

A US “taster” tested the food being dished up to President Barack Obama at a dinner in a French restaurant, a waiter said on Sunday.”They have someone who tastes the dishes,” said waiter Gabriel de Carvalho from the “La Fontaine de Mars” restaurant where Obama and his family turned up for dinner on Saturday night.

“It wasn’t very pleasant for the cooks at first, but the person was very nice and was relaxed, so it all went well,” he said on the Itele news channel.

An interesting fact is, however, it’s usually only people who have done something wrong who fear for their lives.

American Princess comments:

Honestly, if its poisoned food, you die. If its not poisoned food, you don’t get to eat the rest of it, and you’ve had to, essentially, lick someone else’s food. And if you have, say, mono, you could stall the country for a full two months. If you eat the wrong food, you could start a war.
