Tampering with Food and Drink: Difference between revisions

* Willard Price's ''African Adventure''. While they're on safari in Uganda, someone tries to kill Hal and Roger Hunt by putting ground-up leopard whiskers in their food.

* ''[[Dune]]'' had terms for poisons used this way: chaumas (in food) and chaumurky (in drink).

* In the first book of ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' Violet believes Count Olaf poisoned the oatmeal he serves to her and her siblings one morning because he's frankly a horrible guardian who was never nice to them in the entire time they've known him. He quickly proves them wrong by eating one of the raspberries on top of the oatmeal convincing the siblings that it's safe to eat.

** Earlier Violet was thinking miserably that she should've poisoned the sauce she's serving with the pasta for Count Olaf and his troupe considering how they are acting rude and refuse to eat the food the siblings made for them because they wanted roast beef instead.
