How much she has to learn ..."Grubtown Tales: The Great Pasta Disaster": in this special World Book Day "Grubtown Tale", Farflung Heaps, self-appointed leader of the Angry Mob becomes so furious about being served floppy lettuce that he challenges the restaurant to a 'pasta taste-off' with truly explosive results.
