Bus stop baked goods

[DixieFlatline]

Just found an abandoned bakery bag with a cake in it. Undoubtedly abandoned recently, the cake is still moist. Probably purchased at a bakery nearby. No-one came back for it. A fellow bus queuer suggested it would be fine if I took it (she came along a bit after me so probably isn’t a nefarious poisoned cake-planter). It’s even my favourite kind of cake (apple chunks baked into the surface). Would you eat it?

Fried eggs for one just for you I am going to give you the world's easiest cake recipe, I make it with pears but you could do it with apples.
Put oven on to 190 grease and flour a tin I use a brownie tin.

In a large bowl put
I cup of ground almonds
2 cups of plain flour
I cup of caster sugar
2 eggs
One third of a cup of milk
Pinch of salt

Mix everything well, beat into a smooth batter.
Peel core and chop 2 or three pears
Add to the batter.
Pour into the tin.

sprinkle with sliced almonds if you have some.

Bake for 50 minutes.

The cup size doesn't seem to matter, it's the proportions that work.

Yeah it’s nasty, too many SF’s out there, I wouldn’t be convinced it was safe

This thread has made my day lol!

I wouldn't have eaten the cake.

RECIPE UPDATE

Should be half a cup of flour. NOT as in recipe.above.Sorry.

Just popping in to say I'm still alive, and when I came back into the living room recently DH had eaten the rest.

Our thoughts are with your family on this sad occasion. Wait... What... Hurrah! You are aliiiiiive! And full of free cake!

I don't think I would have eaten it op. Glad you enjoyed and still alive and kicking

Were so that hungry that you took home and eat a discarded cake at a bus stop ? That's grim.

Op - you are officially a minger. Gross

That’s grim OP - why didn’t you just go to bakery and buy a cake if you wanted one?

glad your alive though lol you have more trust in the world than i do lol

I once read a post from a woman who was trying to lose weight. She stood outside a bakery to catch a bus on her way home from work and the cakes were reduced to buy one get one free. She would buy 4 cream cakes to take home but then often have a steely determined change of heart on the bus and leave them on the seat!

Now I know what happened to those cakes!

Ah thanks viques, I'm touched! I used to make a mean lemon drizzle cake but got a bit carried away with making one after the other in different flavours. I even did a peanut butter one, bloody orgasmic.

OP you're alive! Well done for surviving! Something tells me this might not be the first time you've helped yourself to abandoned street food, with you having an iron stomach an' all!

Dixie now two of you have eaten it that’s twice the risk

Yep, would have eaten - in bag, dry, not on floor, in its own tray as per pic - yum!

I wouldn't touch it. Too many stories of people intentionally infecting food and waiting for someone to eat it.

Why would you pick up discarded food and want to eat it?

It’s not discarded if it’s clearly just been forgotten by someone. Discarded implies they deemed it not worth eating.

Still alive and well.

Or it’s been made to look like it’s been forgotten... you’re still alive and kicking op so it must have been okay though in this instance.

Glad you are still alive!

Are you going to be checking for stray baked goods on all public transport now?

Every bus stop you walk past you'll have to have a quick peek!

Like this dog.

Somehow you manage to be grim and amoral at the same time. That’s impressive.

Eating food you found at the bus stop is grim.

Taking someone else’s clearly forgotten belongings. Wow.

I wouldn't have been bothered by the ants/possible dog lickage/any other hygiene issues. I'd have wondered if someone left it after injecting it with poison of some kind to try to get a dog to eat it. Which is why my dogs aren't allowed to pick food up off the streets.

Since it clearly wasn't - FREE CAKE! You are so lucky...

Did you see the sausage thread
