Stragely though, one of the most dangerous things you can eat in a
restaurant is rice. Quite often rice is cooked in huge batches during
prep in the morning for the evening's service. If it's not
refrigerated properly you can get a bacteria called Bacillus cereus
which can give you pretty nasty food poisoning. Just a little
pointless fact
