State government food minister Ian Macdonald confirmed on Wednesday that frozen fecal matter had been found in a serving of chocolate gelato offered to placate pub patron Steve Whyte and his wife Jessica, who became “violently ill” after eating it.
“The stench went through my nostrils, I retched and spat it into the napkin,” Jessica Whyte told the Daily Telegraph newspaper, recounting what local media are calling “gelati-gate.”
The tainted sweet was allegedly served up at the Coogee Bay Hotel, one of Sydney’s largest and most popular beachfront hotels, located just a few minutes south of Bondi Beach.
The pub has denied serving excrement to the Whyte’s after they complained they were unable to hear a televised football game due to loud music, with both the chef and restaurant manager volunteering for DNA tests to prove their innocence.
