Re: Had the fire brigade called to a five star hotel, in Malta....
Conveyor belt toasters - harder to burn the bead ? Eh, no it's not. I had a queue of people behind me for the three conveyor toasters, so as mine was too under done, I thought it was okay to put it through again. Wrong decision ! It was only a third of the way through again before black smoke started billowing everywhere.
Trying to look nonchalant while people around me were coughing and gasping for breath, the bread finally appeared as a flaming piece of charcoal. One of the kitchen assistants suddenly arrived and put it out with an extinguisher as all the fire alarms were going off.
I didn't go down for breakfast after that !.
