At the link, you'll see her scars.

WOW

A woman diner was left with horrific burns after a Portuguese sausage dish exploded in her face. The victim was eating with friends when the accident took place at the Sporting Clube de Londres in west London.

Restaurant owner Rui Daniel Faria Velosa was fined £4,000 and ordered to pay £2,000 costs for breaching safety rules.

Witnesses described how the flaming chorizo sausage dish burnt out of control when a waiter topped it up with rum at a table packed with people.

The woman, who spent two weeks in hospital and has since undergone two skin graft operations, said it was like being hit by a "flame-thrower".

The Sporting Clube bar and restaurant in Westbourne Green is a popular destination for football fans.

I guess they do stuff different in London. When I worked in restaurants flaming dishes were prepared beside the table in full view, NOT under the customers face on the table. I put more than one out of control fire out too, on the table side tray. It seemed to happen every weekend, Geeezzz.
