That was a near miss - I was contemplating having that for din-dins tonight, but decided on fish and chips instead, before receiving that email

Close call. If it were me I'd take a very close look at the mash before throwing it away. Maybe with a magnet in case they're magnetic metal pieces.

 

[Llew]

It's down the waste disposal now Paul. Would have been interesting to do that no doubt.

Just goes to show, it's safer to cook your own from scratch than to trust a ready meal that could contain anything, from metal fragments to bits of dead animals that shouldn't be in there (from mouse to horse)...

Lucky escape, glad you're ok :-)

In a perfect world, yes. I much prefer a properly prepared and cooked meal, but there are times when I need to forsake the cook's apron for convenience.

Avoid Cod and choose Haddock instead - got to watch out for that Mercury content!

Actually, just have a couple of Rusks. It's safer

Except the convenience has inconvenienced you...

Think I'll start living on home grown fruit ...once the crop come in ..
It's safer ...though I'd best order more loo roll..

Then it's surely time to think of building a a dry closet as well - much more eco friendly and doesn't use vast quantities of (now) expensive water.

You DO need a ready supply of sawdust though...

Or methane generator?.......and, is this thread in danger of treading on the toes of the Off Topic Chat?

Thank you for such an informative website which has aided me and my skin on the road to recovery. I’ve had the ribo rash permanently on my eyelids and back of my neck for approximately 3 years and have found it to be the flavouring in crisps that cause me to itch and have unsightly red skin.


I had never considered that this issue might have been food-related as there had been lots of other things going on in my life at the time, such as going on the contraceptive pill for the first time ever, being surrounded by cats for the first time in years etc.


It was only after not eating crisps for approximately one week, (not intentionally – just hadn’t been shopping) that I noticed my skin had improved and that I was less itchy, but when I ate a bag of cheesy wotsits not long after, my eyes started to itch like mad and the red inflamed skin started to re-appear.
