An Indian couple was awarded $200k in a court case when a college told them to stop using the microwave ovens to heat their curry sauce. Other students/employees complained about the smell and the mess.
I expect that in very short order, large numbers of students and employees will be firing up their George Foreman grills and filling the air with the sweet smells of barbecuing beef.
It is hard to imagine that any judge could rule AGAINST beef-eaters for cooking the traditional foods of their peoples even if it makes other employees retch.
For the record, I once worked in a factory that forbid the cooking or reheating bacon in the break-rooms. I wonder why.
Long ago and far away I was working a building project and random hands would come into the break areas and microwave their wet gloves to dry them. There was no way I would have used them for food. Nasty!

A lot of "immigrants" both legal and otherwise are simply not civilized. They expect US to adapt to them and their wishes. And get mad when expected to learn and practice our customs. Including the courtesy of not fouling the air with odors they may like but most people gag on. And the court in this case GOT IT WRONG..
ReplyDeleteHuh. I thought fish was the major microwave matter.
ReplyDeleteMy late roomie tried to dry his boots in our conventional oven. It did not end well as he failed to set a timer.
I've seen similar complaints where I work.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is that the person complaining most about someone else microwaving smelly food does it themselves.
And it's part of a pattern - the same person talks loud on the phone but complains when others do it...
