I bought some chicken legs and thought they would make a couple of nice meals this week. I pressure cooked the legs with carrots and onions and separated the meat from skin and bones once done. I set the meat aside,covered the dish and then decided to make soup with the broth so added more vegetable and pressure cooked that.
Once done I went to put some of the meat into the shop, took off the cover and a horrible green fly crawled out .
I'm not that squeamish but really did feel sick seeing it. Thankfully the soup is fine but the thought of all the nice meat going to waste is sickening. I don't even have animals I could give it to.

Because it was a bluebottle fly so would be fly blown. They lay their eggs as soon as they land on any meat. Then with any warmth maggots hatch out. You can quite often see the clutch of eggs.

I had this happen to me the other week. I knocked up a huge pan of chilli, I turned away for a second and when I looked back there was a huge metallic green fly crawling across the top of the chilli. I was devastated, and the whole thing went in the bin 🤮🤮🤮

You do know the ‘local wildlife’ is probably going to be rats?

@SweetnsourNZExcuse my ignorance but what is Fly Blown?

I know they are quick fuckers that lay eggs and shit on everything (after sitting on actual shit) but I’ve never actually seen egg clusters either. Do I dare google.

@SweetnsourNZ you can, I’ve seen them in my cat food within half an hour of leaving it out in warm weather the eggs look like tiny grains of rice 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Well, of course you wouldn't die from eating it. Personally, I couldn't bring myself to, though. But just throw it away. It's disgusting and anti-social to put it out for the rats.
