Food Curse
I have a knack for causing certain dishes to be removed from resaurants'
menus, closing these eateries down entirely or causing them to chnage food quality to the point theya re no longer any good. This is completely unintentional on
my part. You see, if I find a restaurant that I really like, given enough time, it will
cease to exist (or change beyong recognition). Also if I find a particular dish or food product that I REALLY enjoy at
a given establishment, that particular item will never be seen again after I've had it
a few times. Often, if I have a certain food or dish in mind and I try and get it, the
restaurant or store has usually "just" run out of whatever it was I wanted - I haven't
listed the items from this category, the page would be too long.
Here's a list of the permanently "contaminated" restaurants and/or foods affected by this
curse.
