Amy’s in Switzerland working on some memories, so while she had a salad with cucumbers and raw sprouts, me and Sorenne had pizza.

I have no trouble saying, ‘no sprouts’ and am known at a local Manhattan (Kansas) eatery as the no-sprouts person. So is Amy. But not in Europe.

There’s a lot of social protocol over there, in Europe, and I try to stay out of it when visiting, but when there’s an outbreak of foodborne illness linked to 18 dead, 520 with HUS and 1,733 sick, then I’d say something.

I say something if an employee doesn’t wash their hands.

Amy may not have to say anything on her return flight. Salads are off the menu for all American Airlines flights departing from Europe. Not sure if other airlines will follow, but her salad on the way over didn’t look too appetizing.
