Eating Contaminated Food 


Rachel: This tastes funny. 


Sergey: It’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with it. 


Rachel: It tastes like it’s tainted 1 or something. Don’t you detect a funny metallic 2 taste? 


Sergey: No, it’s perfectly 3 fine. Just eat it. 


Rachel: I swear there’s something off about this food. I’m not eating adulterated food. There’s probably poison in here and we’re both going to die a terrible death. 


Sergey: There is nothing poisonous or toxic 4 in this food. I made it myself. 


Rachel: Did you make sure that the milk wasn’t sour and that none of the ingredients were spoiled? I’ll probably die from botulism. 


Sergey: There’s nothing spoiled, tainted, toxic, or poisonous in this food. Are you going to eat that or not? 


Rachel: I think I’ll pass. 


Sergey: Then hand it over. I’m hungry. I’ve never met such a hypochondriac before! 


Rachel: I’m not a hypochondriac. I’m just a little paranoid...
