'Greasy Spoons' to close unless they offer healthy alternatives

[Monkeys Fist 38779]

I think it would, but I suspect a lettuce and tomato sandwich (white bread? ) wouldn't meet their criteria anyway.

 

As a former chef, The risk of infection from correctly prepared salad is negligible.

White bread per se is not unhealthy, it's usually what it's eaten with that bumps up the calories.

To satisfy the stringent "experienced in subject" criteria demanded by certain fellows on this very thread, I can supply a full C.V. with references from my catering days.

cue 4 day argument over merits of white bread.( is that racist btw, shouldn't it be "bleached flour bread")

In the take away van they probably just use their hands to toss it.

So Long as they've washed em', fine.

Anyway, tossed salad in a takeaway van- you must live in Jesmond

Aye, but have you ever seen that in one of those vans?

 

White bread is pretty bad, both in the context of fibre, often salt and that it spikes your metabolism.

 

Never mind when you get into the salad cream/coleslaw issue (both bacterially and calorie-wise - and likely to be the issue in most "dodgy kebab" experiences).

 

 

 

The fried stuff comparatively is usually pretty safe.

Here we go.........

so long as the prepared salad is stored in a cool container, it's fine.

Hot food must be stored above 64C for safety, served at 75C if reheated.

the crucial factor in all is the length of time any foods are stored.

Lettuce, washed and stored correctly, will usually keep for 2-3 days.

 

and yes, most vans that bother with fresh salad, in my experience,can and do prepare it correctly.It ain't brain surgery ffs.

Yep those maybe the rules, but are they followed? (and I shudder to think how long supermarket prepare salad has been stood as that can be rotting before you get it to the checkout)

 

And the coleslaw and salad cream/dressing?

 

 

 

Plus that then all goes back to the cost issue.

[2bias 3]

Who the fuck would go to a place like that and ask for the healthy option?

exactly

How do you assure that they have followed the rule for meat preparation?

 

A bit of salad costs fuck all so it's not a cost issue.

Have you ever seen most "chefs"?

 

I dare you to get a look at most kitchens and then still eat the food that comes out.

Like I said they way it's cooked and to some degree stored after takes out a lot of the risk. Where as something like coleslaw you're possibly better eating your kitchen dishcloth.

 

Have you seen how much salad has gone up recently? Not talking about more per gram than fillet prepared salad either.

[ewerk 26391]

The cost can be reflected in the price. No one is going to be ordering it anyway.

[Park Life 70]

Salad and chips please.

[Fop 1]

That's Chezzy economics.

The extra cost of paying lip service will be paid for by the price of something no one will likely buy anyway and certainly not for the extortionate price you have to charge to pay for it..... if anyone bought it in the first place.

Good job I'm a Pacifist really, cheeky twat.

Where was the last pro kitchen you inspected then?

Have you any idea what you're on about .I would rather eat my own shit than eat a kebab. Whilst the outer 2-3 cms of 'meat'on a kebab is cooked, the inner is raw, with the core often still frozen.

As you are clearly the next Gordon Ramsay, I don't need to explain in how many ways the above is so wrong. Do I?

Salad any day.

btw fillet is overpriced and over-rated. Sirloin, or rump

Keswick. I wouldn't rather have eaten my own , but it might have made things more appetising, I bow to your superior knowledge in poo-eating.

 

 

So that would be badly prepared/cooked kebab then? But..... surely that never happens if salad is never badly prepared/stored?

Lettuce from Tesco: 47p

Tomatoes from tesco: 66p

 

It's not exactly bank breaking stuff.

It is eventually if no one is paying for them, or at least you've got to pass to cost on via your other food sales.
