BlackMan Time

You are what you eat so I try my best to eat only the freshest, organically grown quality food. Very occasionally I go off the rails and order a take-away but anytime I do this I know I’m taking a big risk because you never know what you’ll be getting with this kind of food service.

I admit I’m very cautious this way because I feel you just cannot trust every commercial enterprise when it comes to preparing and delivering a product like food to you.

Although you hope they take great care in their hygiene and food preparation, it is surprising how easy it is for them to get away with dishing up rotten, stale or toxic food just to make their living.

I wish I was joking.

There will many among you who might thing: “lighten up, things aren’t as bad as you say!” but some experiences I have had has made me the way I am. I remember one period when I used to order pizza from Domino’s, Papa Johns or any of the high street fastfood pizza places and the quality of my pizza seemed to depend on whether I had given a tip for the last delivery!

If I had given no tip last time this pizza would give me the runs and bad diarrhoea. I soon stopped ordering from them.

Sometimes I used to look at the mozzarella cheese and notice how white it looked when it was hot but when it became cool or even cold, it looked translucent like plastic! Then when you heated it up again it became white. I started to think that maybe they were using radio-active material to make this cheese instead of buffalo milk.

These days I prefer to make my own pizzas because at least I know what’s in them. It’s nice, safer and don’t give me the runs. Preparing them is time-consuming but fun, especially if you make them with someone who’s sense of adventure mirrors your own!
