I LOVE this thread Grin

Presumably to verify they are legit, and he didn't just get bored with a Sharpie
Hmm or maybe they think he's an undercover low-carbing crumpet saboteur

I might have to try it to see. But I don’t usually eat crumpets this time of year. I limit my self to winter months only.

The food company DH used to work at had a forensics lab - on a training course they related the story of how someone had complained about a chip of glass in their stuffing. The lab contacted them to ask whether they had a Pyrex jug 15cm in diameter and a tap with a gold-coloured plating. They had, and the jug had a tiny chip out of the rim - whoever was making up the stuffing mix had knocked the measuring jug against the tap.

I would only send them one of them

Enough for them to examine

But you keeping the rest will make sure they don't try to say it didn't happen

And say it is FAKE NEWS!!!!

SubisYodrethwhenLarping · 25/03/2019 19:17

I just do not want them denying everything

I am not a number, I am a free crumpet.

The only time we have had anything bad was when DDs juice had alcohol in it.
She said it tasted funny. Gave it to me and it stank of alcohol

Had that with a bottle of mango chilli dressing. Absentmindedly stuck it in the cupboard and forgot about it, rather than keeping in the fridge for three days and then discarding as I was supposed to.

Found it, opened it and the pffffffttt made me suspicious. Tentatively tasted it and the entire thing had turned into a delicious fermented fruity champagne like dressing, far nicer than the original version.

How bored would a person have to be to draw random numbers on a packet of crumpets? 🤔

EastMidsGPs · 25/03/2019 20:10

Subis
I like your thinking ... return one, hold the others hostage (they'll need all the numbers back for their dastardly deeds)

greenpop21 · 25/03/2019 20:13

Buy a lottery ticket with those numbers

DM was eating Payne's Poppets in the cinema whilst watching the film, they used to come in a big box. When the lights went up she realised the box had tiny moving creatures in it.

I had a similar experience with a bag of cashew nuts, little white insect eggs inside several nuts, I'd already eaten half the packet.

Urgh that's disgusting!!! I'm sure I saw something recently about a mouse or rat baked into a loaf of bread

They normally bring these photos along to show during food hygiene courses.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 26/03/2019 10:00

I too am distressed by the failure to arrange the crumpets in numerical order.

Think of them as being clockwise?

Sorry if that has been suggested before but I'm meant to be working. Will catch up properly at lunchtime...

I was eating roasted chestnuts oat bonfire night. Went in the pub after and realised all the remaining ones had maggots in.

I like to think that the ones I ate didn't...

I'm now torn between desperately craving crumpets with marmite on because it's the food of the gods and never wanting to eat anything without prior careful inspection again Shock

Worst food extra for me was a toss up between a curly very definite pube in a fish and chips or an insect leg in a Chinese- my husband said was I sure as it could have been a something else so I showed him how it was articulated and bent back and forth🤮. We are very limited in our take away choices now 😁
