Here's your grenade -- you want fries with that?

YORK (Reuters) - Workers at a British factory making French fries were evacuated two days running last week after bomb parts turned up in potatoes imported from France and Belgium, the site of battles in World War One and Two.

The Scarborough plant, owned by Canada's McCain Foods, the world's largest producer of frozen fries, was emptied Friday after a worker spotted a shell tip among the potatoes as they were being cleaned for slicing.

"The police were called and the bomb squad advised a 100 meter exclusion zone should be set up," said a McCain spokesman.

Saturday, an entire hand grenade was discovered in the potatoes and the plant in northern England was evacuated again.

even if it seems a "funny" story, fact is that war leaves behind still dangerous material 60-100 years after its end. In France about 100 WWII US bombs are still discovered a year, and at least 2-3 of them demand evacuation. So imagine the consequences of depleted uranium in Iraq, Kuwait and Serbia/Kosovo...
