Do things put you off food?

I eat a lot of strawberries, I hope it’s not true.

Me too! I’m pretty sure I’ve been told it’s not true but I have never touched a Ferrero rocher since!

I wonder (but if I was a betting man I would wager it probably is)

I never trust washed and ready salad, rarely buy it but if I do for quickness I soak it in salted cold water and rinse it several times .
Cauliflower I won't buy one unless it's white and tightly closed, even then I break the florets up and still soak in salted water.
Ever since I was a kid and mum served up a salad and there was a slug in my lettuce the thought of eating a big freaks me out 🤮
You have got me worried about strawberries now 😩

I was once with my auntie as a kid and she cut a big lettuce in half to start shredding to make a salad and she cut through a slug.
I remember her saying how she couldn't get the slime off the knife.
Ugh.
She was freaked out and had to chuck the knife and plate away.
I always think about slugs now when I see full lettuces

That's why I wash thoroughly in salted water as slugs are bound to have crawled over them 🤮
Think of what we could be eating in restaurants though 😱

Oh me too!
I couldn't not wash them!

My auntie's incident was way back in late 70's and I'm not sure she was into washing salad like we do these days Yes, we trust restaurants etc to wash the veg!

Cant say it out me off chinese food bit it did put me off that restaurant 😂

This same incindent with a tooth and a chinese was in our local paper recently. The popular opinion was that it was the tooth of a pig as they look similar to humans... as if that makes it ok!?!?

Cauliflower 🤢

Must have been in the 70’s I was around 5or 6 mom had cooked the cauliflower for tea - I remember putting my fork in something that didn’t feel right - didn’t feel like cauliflower iykwim looked down to see a boiled caterpillar with my fork though it 🤮

Never eaten cauliflower since

When I was at school a girl cut into her sausage and a whole fat fly was in it 🤢 turned me vegi

[Disney Bear]

ok, everyone on this thread needs to start putting me off chocolate and snacks - not fruit and veg worried about dinner now...

we actually grow a lot of our own fruit and veg and you should see what crawls out.
