Play on words = great headline

The recent scandal over an American-owned meat supplier in China has once again opened up a can of worms over food safety in China.

What amused me most about this saga has nothing to do with food. The headline in the newspaper article caught my attention and sent me into peals of laughter. What a lovely play of words! Kebabs are pieces of meat on a skewer and put over a barbeque pit to cook. Barbeque restaurants in China are a common sight. So why not the pun?

Well done, The Straits Times sub-editors!
