WARNING - IF YOU LOVE SWORDFISH, AND WANT TO CONTINUE TO LOVE SWORDFISH, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING:
A friend of mine is a chef and informed me of certain worms that bore holes all through the meat of swordfish. She said then the fish came in, they’d cut it into filets or steaks and have to pull, long, fairly girthy worms from the flesh.
But…if I’d grabbed a couple haddock filets and saw live ORANGE (wf?!) worms writhing all over it, I’d probably contaminate the rest of the seafood kiosk with my vomit.
Yes, I love swordfish, which is why I don’t eat it.
I am a big snorer and I have woken up with dead houseflies in my mouth on at least 3 separate occasions. I am sure that I didn’t even know about all the others. I just considered myself to be the most kick-ass Venus Flytrap ever.
Just wanted to thank you. Can’t stop laughing. I am in tears.
I dont know if it is still the case but Hong Kong used to export a lot of tinned Chinese style desserts/delicacies all over the world mostly to Chinese restaraunts who would then uncan them and serve them up to their customers as part of the meal.
These canned goods were mostly made up in an area of H.K. called I believe the Citadel(But those more informed feel free to correct me if I’m wrong)where the conditions of hygiene were quite honestly not even up to medieval standards so that "problems"occurred quite often.
I myself found a millipede shell in my dessert once(The rest of it presumably having melted into my frosted ginger)and got two meals,desserts and wine for free as a result.
Kowloon Walled City maybe? Rumoured to be unmappable, and definitely unpoliceable.
Years ago, I remember reading in one of my little nerdy books that I picked up in the reference section about the allowance of vermin in food. I like to gross my boyfriend out with the factoids I happen to remember. I have a thing about pulpy orange juice…filtering bits of transluscent organic matierial is not appetizing to me. I easily convinced him to get “no pulp” since it “contains less bug parts per cubic centimeter.” The book also said something about allowing 1 rat hair per container of peanut butter. I’ve been through about 30 jars of peanut butter since reading that stat and, luckily, have not encountered any obvious hairs. I’ll see if I can remember which book it was. For some reason, I feel like it may have been from the “Big Secrets” series by William Poundstone. Here’s a list of some of he FDA nastiness allowance.
