A tale of two salmonellas (or why the UK is posher than the US)

The United States is in the throes of a salmonella scare surrounding every child's favourite Peter Pan peanut butter.

Not to be outdone in the eternal competition that is the "special relationship" the United Kingdom has upped the stakes and is now living in a state of fear due to an outbreak of salmonella in Marks and Spencer’s' hummus creating a crisis in suburban households up and down the country as Saturday night entertainers try to work out just what to do with all that (wholemeal organic) pita bread.
