Lunchtime


Lunchtime

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat? School officials in a Scottish town have reversed their ban on cameras in the lunchroom after initially telling a 9-year-old student that she had to stop posting her reviews of school lunches in a blog.

We applaud the budding restaurant reviewer, but we've checked Tuesday's school lunch menu and we don't really care to see photos of haggis-in-a-blanket with tater tots.

A salt and buttery: A Connecticut man was in trouble with police after he called 911 to report that a deli had messed up his order after he "specifically asked for a little turkey and a little ham, a lot of cheese and a lot of mayonnaise." The dispatcher's response: "You're calling 911 because you don't like the way they're making your sandwich?"

He should have known better. If you have a food complaint you don't call 911, you blog about it.

Jane! Stop this crazy thing! A Russian Internet entrepreneur is setting up a venture fund that will invest in the development of household robots akin to Rosey the Robot Maid on the 1960s animated TV series, "The Jetsons."

We're in, as long as she gets our sandwich order right.
