I've heard this quite a bit. Especially with eggs. (not sure if you eat/like eggs) but it's basically put people off them for life.
Also, while I have you... I'm sure I saw you were due to go to a Shikari gig in the concert thread. Did you make it? I saw them in Cardiff last Thursday, think they played Southampton Friday then decided to postpone the rest of the tour today which I'm sure you've seen. Quite sad but understanable. As much as I enjoyed it, I just couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy about it all. Especially this close to Christmas. Is this the way I/we are going to feel now going to big crowded events? Meeh.
