slug in the fridge

kunekune

Well ...

I once went to the toilet in the middle of the night and something furry brushed against me. I shrieked - no, we didn't have any pets. And it wasn't long since the "great rat infestation", no comment.

Eventually I bravely turned the light on and found a kitten, cowering terrified in the corner. She was only about 8 weeks old, poor darling. We like cats, I should add, but can't have 'em because of OH allergry (groan, moan, scream of annoyance, etc etc). So we took the sweety back to bed with us, she went to sleep cuddled up with me and then in the morning we managed to find her real home ... we were in row of identical houses, so she had got a bit confused.

I had a slug live happily in a cabbage for a few days in the fridge,it only started crawling about when I took the cabbage out to prepare.I'm pretty sure slugs don't spread disease.
If you want creepy crawley in the fridge,I had a horrible experience.
I took a lettuce out the salad drawer and noticed it had a couple of maggots on it.Emptying the drawer I noticed the stay dry green mat that lined it(the one from Lakeland) looked different.I popped my reading glasses on and noticed it was kind of twinkling.HEAVING MORE LIKE IT.
All the holes had a little maggot in them.I think some fly on the veg must have decided the cushion for the veg was like a ready made nest.It was my worst nightmare as I have a phobia with maggots.
I still shudder to this day when I think about it.

And my Mum found me as a toddler with half a slug.

No news on the other half of the slug. But I did have a disgusted look on my face...

When our eldest DD was 2 she was outside and saw a dead, dried up worm on the ground. So she picked it up and ate it!!!!! :eek::rotfl::rotfl:As you do :rotfl:

<sigh> I love cats too, but can't have them for the same reason - OH and DS are both allergic. I suppose we could get one of those hairless ones, but they somehow don't really appeal. :rolleyes:

My sister was into survival books when she was younger and made worm curry once. The trick is, you have to squeeze all the soil out of them first.

I have a picture of me eating worms I'd dug up out of the garden.I was only about three at the time.My uncle said he found me happily chewing away when he found me so he did'nt bother to stop me before taking the picture.He just waited until I was popping one in my mouth and snapped me squatting in the garden with a worm dangling from my mouth.
I had a fascination for worms then.I even remember filling a nescafe jar up with them before emptying them in the old kitchen sink to wash them.My gran was'nt very pleased I can tell you.
I'm still here so it has'nt caused any ill effects.For me anyway can't speak for the worms.
The thing is I would never eat meat and still don't to this day (I'm 54) so goodness knows why I'd eat raw garden worms.Poor things.
