Row over 'tasteless' tsunami food

BBC

South African restaurant customers are complaining that the use of the word tsunami by local eateries leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

The Mugg and Bean chain has been selling its spicy tsunami chicken burger for over a year but will rename it in April, its managers say.

Johannesburg's Tsunami Seafood Emporium opened just three weeks before the giant waves devastated parts of Asia.

The Japanese sushi bar manager said he could not have predicted the disaster.
