FTD: A gourmet gaffe that you would like to share.

PG: Nothing in particular.

PG: In London, when I was walking with friends in Piccadilly looking for a restaurant to have dinner. When I saw a black guy running frantically from something and few people running after him to catch him and he straight came to me and caught hold of me and dragged me inside a restaurant with him, wanting to keep me on ransom so he could be freed. But luckily, the way he held me and took me inside the restaurant was so fast that we fell as we went inside and everyone pounced on him and caught him. I was left shivering, but saved!

FTD: What is the best souvenir you ever bought for anyone?

PG: Sweets from Egypt, which all my loved ones still remember
