7 Professional Presidential Poison Taster
You might have known that the ancient Egyptians and the Romans employed them, but were you aware that poison tasting is still a potential career option today? Vladimir Putin is reported to engage the services of ‘food tasters’ who travel with him and, um, taste his food. He has every dish inspected by a medically-qualified professional sampler, who makes sure that it is completely safe to eat.
George Bush apparently also had two former FBI agents taste every one of his dishes during a trip to London.
