Russian Pesident Valdimir Putin has reportedly appointed a full-time food taster to make sure his meals aren't poisoned, a report revealed.
According to The Independent, with the West rallying against Russia over the Ukraine crisis and blaming the nation for the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 crash, the President has been a little paranoid recently. The appointment of a food taster is being seen as a consequence of that paranoia.
The news emerged during a meeting this week in London of the Club des Chefs des Chefs, whose members prepare meals for world leaders, the report added.
