I didn't even know the details:
According to the Hadith (sayings and practices attributed to Islam's Prophet Muhammad), a Jewish woman in the Jewish town of Khaibar served Muhammad poisoned meat. On his deathbed three years later, Muhammad told his wife Aisha that the pain he was experiencing was caused by the poisoned meat that he was given by the Jews.I always knew that Jewish cuisine could be lethal, but I didn't know that there is an option of a delayed effect like this. It might be interesting to know whether Arafat was sharing a meal with a Jew some three years before he croaked.
As for Mo complaining about the meat, I suspect he was mistaken. Gefilte fish must be the ticket. I feel that it is going to get me too eventually.
So there.
Update: Nah, he couldn't... unless it was the power of his interminable speeches.

If I had to choose between eating Po210 or a gefillte fisch in a Tel-Aviv restaurant I would go for the Polonium. But an interesting fact - both of these have a Polish connection...
Hey, that may be the key!
Always the Poles eh? Well perhaps, since the woman of 14 centuries ago was not wearing a bowling shirt she could have been easily mistaken as Jewish instead of Polish.
True, the affinity between the Poles and the Jews is a well known historical fact.
Indeed, it runs right through several Israeli prime ministers. As for gefillte fisch, it not only is deadly but it looks and tastes awful Never heard the Mighty Mo story. Good on 'em. Now y'all need to get the rest.
Absolutely with you on that food item. I could never abide this delicacy of Polish kitchen.
It does make you wonder what they're putting in the kielbasa these days, don't it?
Indeed, buying kielbasa is always a lottery. At least they use to shave the hairy bits...
