    I'm not actually from Africa, (Surrey born and bred) but when I first joined up to MSE I was living in Mauritania (West Africa).
    I've been living and working in various African countries for about 22 years (and I'm heading back there in a few months) so when I left the continent a couple of years ago I decided to keep the user name as I knew that I would be going back sooner or later.

    I'm also originally from Surrey, but have only lived abroad for two spells, and one of those doesn't really count as I came back to the UK at age 5. We would love to see more of Africa, but mainly go to see friends in SA and other trips to Kenya, Zambia and Mozambique have been fleeting. I was hoping that when we go to SA again next month I could persuade my husband to take us for a few days on the beach in Mozambique, but he is refusing to drive there after our last visit. Can't say that I blame him as the driving in Maputo was scary, and especially in a hire car with a high excess.

    My niece found the cutest, tiny little crab in her mussel at Cosmo yesterday. She was more concerned with tormenting her mother with it than screeching about getting a refund, etc.
  • I recall being about 12 and as you do grabbing grapes out of mams fridge, the whole punnit had tiny white spiders inside not moving but eggs also. Put me off for life and they was from asda. Too common this.

    anyway im rambling shame they only offered you that
  • I remember biting into some cherries and they were full of worms.....and on another occasion a huge beetle was inside a tinned tomato, must have been 3 inches long

  • I have never found unexpected beasties in purchased food!
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.
