Nausea

I'm feeling a little worse for wear this nice sunny afternoon.
Not I hasten to add, through any alcoholic beverage consumption - but the aftermath of a nasty experience during a very nice business lunch.
I had ordered a very nice risotto and rocket side salad, and was just getting into a conversation about the benefits of social networking and Web 2.0, when I glanced down at my plate.
On the underside of one of the pieces of rocket were rows upon rows of orange insect eggs.
I didn't look to closely to determine the species - but it wasn't the most pleasant thing to see in a supposedly plush Soho restaurant. I also didn't want to wait around for the mummy insect to start looking for her would-be offspring.
I did feel sorry for my dining companions because it also put them off their meal, and the restaurant staff did their best to make amends, but sadly the damage has been done.
Needless to say I won't be hurrying back there.
