The High Timber restaurant in London is seeking to protect

i will say this. I never knew about this practice, until i read this article. i didn’t know about king cake until a colleague introduced me to that last year. and bluntly as a matter of courtesy and customer service, i would like to be warned before there are foreign objects in my food. not saying i support a lawsuit, but people assume people know this when we don’t necessarily know it.
