Thinking back, the worst meal I ever had was actually at an RAF Officers Mess (not naming names but it was in South Wales). A chicken curry lunch had more in it than intended.
About two hours after eating it I felt very strange indeed and almost collapsed walking out to my aircraft. My colleague suffered in the same way, having eaten the same thing. We were both very ill for some days and it could only have been food poisoning. We were asked to provide samples (
) and I was later informed by the doc back at base that I had been suffering from at least three different bugs, any of them dysentery inducing, the worst being a form of botulism!
