Food poisoning: not as fun as it sounds

[no name no slogan]

really. I've been up all night with stomach cramps, again. It must have been something I ate Saturday night, as somebody else I was with also got sick.

Bleeaaarrrrggghhhh. This sucks.

1. care to mention where you ate?

so I won't go there... Food poisoning is not a picnic.

Best of luck to you and make sure you have enough toilet paper! :)

2. Sure-- believe it or not, I think it was the salad

We had fresh fish (cooked thoroughly well and caught by my uncle) coconut rice, and salad. I think the salad didn't get washed well enough is my guess. Everything else was pretty good. But these days you never know...

3. Ugh-- it wasn't a very creepy chinese place in downtown Mpls,

was it? Because I puked all the way home in the car after eating at a place there. :puke:

6. Unfortunately, this was at my mom's

in Rochester. Home cooked meal even.

BTW what was the name of the place in Mpls? I've probably been there and had the same experience :P

11. So sorry.

I have had food poisioning 2 times. Both times were home cooked meals. It is the hepatitis that you have to worry about getting from a restaurant.

Pedialite is good for rehydration.:hi:

12. Can't recall the name-- I was about 15 and

on a hellacious family trip. I just remember it was a hole-in-the-wall kind of place and was rather dirty. We were fighting so much about where to eat that my parents just said "screw it!" and walked into the first restaurant they saw-- not a good system.

19. I think I know that place

Was it on Hennepin? They used to serve these really wicked punch-like drinks, but they closed a few years ago when they tarted up the street. I think I know the place. The bar was cool (see above mentioned drinks) but the food was notoriously bad. :puke:

20. It might have been-- it was about 12 years ago.

It would be like my parents to drag a 15 year old and a 6 year old up and down Hennepin. I just remember they had a very small buffet and it wasn't very tasty.

22. The famous Nankin?

23. THAT'S IT!

I couldn't remember the name for the life of me. Probably because every time I'd been there I left completely legless. :silly:

[myrna minx]

25. Heh. Their Wondrous punch could really clean your clock.

:hi: Well, the Red Dragon (Lyndale and 22nd) has similar cocktails...one appropriately named the *zombie* that will produce similar effects as Nankin's K/O cocktails. Their food is ahem, similar too. :puke:

21. Remember 'Two Pesos' in Uptown?

That place was guaranteed to give you the gift of food poisoning...but hey, it was always open at bar time. :puke: I hope you feel better NNNS. :hug:

24. Thanks, Myrna!

I'm feeling better. At least I was before I saw my lawyer at noon. Ah well,...

I do remember Two Pesos though. That was always a culinary adventure going there. You never knew what you were going to walk away with.

4. Best thread title today.

Sorry about the food poisoning - I know it sucks, I've had my share.

But the thread title = hilarious. :rofl:

8. I don't know where I got the idea that it would be fun

Once again the liberal media has lied to me again. Bastids.

10. Reminds me of Homer Simpson

"Going cold turkey isn't as delicious as it sounds."

[RevCheesehead]

13. I love your beagle!

Does s/he belong to you?

[Richardo]

14. I wish!

No, just a pic that was posted here during a FR smack-down. I still :loveya: tho.

[KyndCulture]

5. I still have alcohol poisoning from Saturday night...

not nearly as fun as it sounds either...

:hangover:

18. Hit the green food group with a vengeance

Green jello, Gatorade, Mountain Dew. You'll feel better in no time.

Oh, and a liter of vodka won't hurt, either.

[Trigger Hippie]

7. I'm sorry. That sounds terrible.

Take care, :pals:

9. Aw, thanks!

I love laptops with wireless connections. I can sit in bed and use them interwebs. :silly:

Now off to the bathroom again...

15. Nor is Lyme disease.

And I LOVE Key Lyme pie. :(

17. ...

[Bridget Burke]

16. I agree....

But I do remember being amazed--"So that's what projectile vomiting is like!"
