It's kind of hard to judge where and when food poisoning is going to
strike
(with the obvious exception of cockroach-ridden filth pits).  My
stepfather 
was sick for a week after eating a chicken sandwich in a presumably
nice-enough
pub in the UK (I didn't go with him and my mother and half-sister to
Stratford-on-Avon, having little interest in Shakespeare at best), and I
was
sick as a dog for two days after eating half a Reuben (it was way too big
for me
to consume the entire thing) in a perfectly clean, perfectly nice "family"
restaurant with ordinarily-good (and copious) food.  (Hell of a nuisance,
too,
considering those two days were the day of and right after my
grandfather's
funeral...)
