A Hull newspaper reported the horror of a sickened Aldi customer who found the remnants of an animal anus and rectum in her tin of stewed steak. My revulsion is that the customer did not want to be reminded that her meat came from what was a living, breathing, creature with an anus, just like herself.

recently i opened a can of chicken breast
the pasteurization didn't quite work and there was a chunk of mold growing inside

my revulsion at finding a plant growing where i wanted flesh to be unsullied was instant and i chucked the whole thing in the bin

and opened another for my breakfast


humans have evolved to be omnivores
i do not disrespect anyone their own dietary desires and/or restrictions
choose what you wish to eat
so will i


now that i think about it
if i had chucked that tin of chicken into a pan of boiling water,
added so much cajun spice that nothing could be tasted,
closed my eyeballs and stuffed it into my mouth

i'll bet i'd find that cooked mold was semi-nutritious

no

mold creates penicillin as a by-product of its consumption of whatever it happens to be growing upon

you wouldn't think of yerself as poop, right?

So if you eat the moldy chicken breast the mold is likely to have produced the by product?🤔

It is very unlikely ...there are hundreds of strains ranging from very toxic to mostly harmless

How can you tell if canned food has botulism?
When in doubt, throw it out!
The container is leaking, bulging, or swollen.
The container looks damaged, cracked, or abnormal.
The container spurts liquid or foam when opened.
The food is discolored, moldy, or smells bad.

Good point. I haven't made it in years, it's so easy... rice, milk, sugar, cinnamon.

Can's pretty good. (Just add a dash of cream and a dollop of jam).

Minimal faff.

We have frozen, but tinned are ok if a little expensive.
