Found not 1 but 2 live worms in Tesco grocery!

MRSTITTLEMOUSE

Just remembered there was a woman on the news yesterday who found a live gecko in her bag of broccoli,now that would be a find.
Mind you,you could do worse than worms,my friend worked in a greengrocers in the 70s,opened a crate of bananas and found a ten foot snake hissing at her.She told it to shurrup and promptly smacked it on the head with the knife she'd opened the box with.
It was still half asleep when the RSPCA came an hour later to pick it up :rotfl: .
They thought it was hilarious.

I used to grow a lot of my own veg up until a couple of years ago. Get a lot of back pain, but I noticed it was entirely different to what you can buy in supermarkets or even farm shops. Cutting a cabbage, 10 minutes after it has been pulled from the ground, released such a lovely fresh smell it is hard to believe that it is the same vegetable you buy elsewhere. The flavour is remarkable, and shops/farm shops just don't compare. Also, I never found any bugs in my homegrown vegetables. I grew cabbage, peas, swede, onions, early and maincrop potatoes, french beans, runner beans, salad crops, and all sorts of tomatoes.

I remember a case at a local Jamaican Store (back in the 80s), where a Tarantula crawled out amid the Bananas.

This just show how the animal rights activists have everyone paranoid about what they now do.
If the veg packers at Tesco had only put in one worm, the green brigade would have been up in arms about how they split up a loving couple and deprived them both of the right to a family life.

On the other hand, has your other half considered the possibility that it was actually only one worm? (well, up until the point she accidentally bit it in half that is)

I think you will find that a B&B owner would have had to pay them £1800 each because they dont allow unmarried couples to share a bag of Green Beans

The sad thing is, i would have still eaten the fondue...ive had a cockroach leg in a jar of mixed pickles, still ate the pickles, had a chewed fingernail complete with nailvarnish in a box of mint thins, still ate them....i think if you've got that bad a phobia, get someone else to check your veg, i hate spiders, but if i find one in a cabbage, i just put the whole leaf outside, and use the rest of the cabbage.

I agree with still eating all but the finger nail!

Nail Polish cant be good for you!

I used to work for, a large well know pest control company, and they were always being called out to spiders in Bannanas at Tescos...Always a tarantula when we got the call, usually a Huntsman spider when we got there..

Stuff gets in stuff....Mice in bread is different and mice live in dirty conditions and can harbour some nasty deseases...and dont get me started on rats and pigeons...

Maggots are usually a sign of flies and again they are desease ridden evil flying nastyness.

A worm or two.....

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Just because I eat worms
Short fat hairy ones
Long tall skinny ones
See how the little ones squirm
Bite all their heads off
Suck all the juice out
Throw the empty skins away

Lovely

Thanks for the advice which I shall file where I usually put such rubbish, now why don't you get a sense of humour transplant and stop being so serious and wimpish about a couple of bugs, it is you that needs to get a life not me.

Are you trying to convince yourself here? My sense of humour is fine thanks - I find you amusing..
