Salad Days

A knife-wielding thief was foiled after a shopkeeper drenched him in salad cream. Lorraine Avery drove 18-year-old Michael Watt out of her shop by repeatedly squirting him with the contents of a catering-sized bottle.

When police arrived shortly afterwards, they followed the trail of salad cream along the street and found Watt trying to clean it off.

I prefer mayonaise myself especially when confronted with a celery-weilding opponenet and usually ask for a rub down before departure.
