The news that Yasser Arafat was poisoned with polonium should not come as a surprise for those who know what his favourite restaurant was.
Well, Polish cuisine is not for everyone.

The Happy Hermit 
My political science professor actually met Arafat back in the ’70s. Seriously though, was his favorite restaurant really a Polish one? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Polish restaurant before, though pirogue and kielbasa can be found fairly easily in the US.
Ha ha, anyone who eats there might find their teeth working loose… I am allegedly joking…
There are plenty of foreign restaurants in the UK, it would be easier to list the countries that aren’t represented.
I went into an Italian restaurant in London once and asked the manager in Italian what was recommended that evening, I found out that he was the owner and was a gay Turk, the chef was Scottish and they were sexual partners. Neither of them spoke Italian.
9/10 for the food though and I have been back quite a few times.
How cosmopolitan is that!
I’ve read that the Israelis say that this thesis has more whole than a Swiss cheese!
It makes total sense!
