Don’t eat there – part III

And just when we thought we were safe… And had made it through our holiday without any major food poisoning, we got Las Palmas airport on our trip home.

We were both thoroughly unhappy about going home, so I guess it just fit in with our theme song of the day, sung very ironically “It’s such a perfect day…”

Even though we had had a big breakfast before our long day of travelling back to Norway, by the time we got to the airport we were actually a bit hungry again and decided to have some food before getting on the plane. There were several places to choose from, and we were just thrilled that they were all open, because the last time we went home, in the evening, we discovered that most of them were closed.

So, we decided on pizza from a place called sbarro. It certainly smelled very nice, and looked very nice with all the different kinds of pizzas that they had on parade. I discovered a kind of pizza roll that I’ve never seen before, it very much looked like a pizza slice that had been rolled into a roll – and we both decided to try this out, with ham and cheese. It looked very nice; they even put it into the pizza oven to re-heat it before serving it to us.

And then we sat down to eat. The first bite from one end was nice, but still there was something odd about the pizza, it seems to contain an awfully large amount of cheese, very sticky strange tasting cheese. My friend suddenly almost blew a bobble with a large chunk of it. And then suddenly we both realized that what we were in fact eating was dough!!! The pizza was completely raw in the middle. Yes there was quite a lot of cheese and ham in there as well, but mostly it was dough! This gave us some many ideas about how the cheese and the ham could’ve been prepared and what this might possibly do to our stomachs on the 5,5 hour long trip back to Norway, that suddenly we weren’t hungry anymore. We discussed going back to the counter and complain, but was afraid that we would be offered even more pizza as a replacement – and if you’ve had one thing and that’s off, you don’t really want to try something new. So we threw it out, and left – and as I said “Such a perfect day….”
