Migrants living rough near the port of Calais in France have turned down free food hand-outs, claiming the food on offer was not spicy enough for their tastes in an incident branded “very disappointing” by charity workers. A small group of the migrants prevented others from taking the food, leading to the food on offer having to be scrapped, the Local has reported. The food was being handed out by aid charity ‘Salam’. Jean-Claude Lenoir, a worker with the charity described the scene: “The leaders staged a small coup, and prevented the others from coming to eat.” The food was “a lot less salty and not very spicy” compared with the fare usually on offer, but, Lenoir said, “personally, I think that spices are very expensive, and I find that they're a bit too pampered by now. “As soon as 15 or 20 refused the meal, I stepped in to tell them if they didn't want the food we could put it away and that it was scandalous.” He told the migrants gathered that “many people in France don't even have an evening meal,” adding that the charity was happy to provide food to them, but “there are limits with regards to what we can propose.”

I’ve got a reaaaaaly nice crop of ghost and scorpion peppers this year.
I’ll fix that ‘not spicy enough’ right up!
Ya know what? I have been reading articles lately and feel like I gotta say.......... Aw jees, really.
Or not.
This applies to many threads.
In leaky boats.
Wasn’t there a story after Katrina about some Amish refusing donated Jason’s Deli lunch boxes (sandwich, chips and a cookie)and bottled water, saying they wanted McDonald’s and Cokes?
Contrary to popular wisdom, apparently beggars CAN be choosers.
Send ‘em all to Syria.
“Camp of the Saints” african style:
You had for a moment about the ‘Amish’.
They’ll eat when they get hungry enough.
Liberia
This is about power and control, not hunger and nourishment.
If they were really hungry they would be glad to have a hunk of plain bread.
Will they also demand the normal level of Feces and Urine to be present in the food ?
Feed them Nutraloaf
If they don't like it, they can go home.
Eh. Let ‘em go a couple days without, and see what they think then.
Well I guess that explodes the myth that “beggars can’t be choosy”.
Gee, and the charity workers wonder why these people feel "entitled?"
