    why don't more authors kill with undercooked food?

    was out the other day commenting on how Gordon Ramsay accused one of his sub-chefs of presenting under-cooked chicken which could have killed the person who ate it. so why aren't there more stories about the murder weapon being under-cooked chicken, eggs, or fish?
