I'd take bleach and scrubbing brush to it. In fact, when we used those containers that you upend a 20-ltr can on top of, I used to soak the thing overnight in a weak bleach solution. Purified water from a very impure water dispenser or cooler is a great way to get ill.

i guess the problem is restaurants..with storage and preparation issues. Ive just come back from Darfur, and I didnt get sick there. But thats cos I was doing all my own food prep, i guess this is how our ancestors survived!!
