Serving a stew that I accidentally squirted washing up liquid into

It was only one spiral squirt, of ecover and I've fished most of it out, then stirred.

I think it tastes a bit soapy, but in paranoid and no one else has tasted it with a quick spoonful, although I haven't told them.

Would you serve it? Seems a shame to waste.

I spent years eating fairy liquid tasting Yorkshire puddings when with an ex boyfriend. His mother never rinsed the tray well enough and I was way too polite to decline them Grin

How did you accidently squirt the washing up liquid in?

DuchessDaisy · 18/11/2015 19:08

I doubt washing up liquid in small amounts causes diarrhoea!

Angelik · 18/11/2015 19:12

sometimes I rinse dishes, sometimes I don't. no-one has died. you say you fished most of it out. I'd just dish it up.

Im on parr with the person that said it depends on how much soap vs stew. If it was a quick squirt then yes otherwise it will taste soapy and whilst it wouldn't do any harm whatsoever unless you stuck the whole bottle in it's not going to taste very nice. Mind you, you could always spice it up Grin

OP, you still haven't told us how you got washing up liquid into your stew.

Crazypetlady · 18/11/2015 19:25

My mums cooing used to often taste of washing up liquid until she got a dishwasher, I wouldn't worry unless it was the bottle.

zoemaguire · 18/11/2015 19:28

If it tastes ok, go for it. I'm surprised though as even a teeny bit of soapy suds left on a plate are enough to make me go 'eeeew'.

Re the cinnamon in spag bol - I put some in, on purpose, every time:) It's nice!

My friend had her in laws round for dinner and the kitchen was chaos, with the sink full of dirty greasy pans and dishes soaking in washing up liquid/water.
She then went to drain the spaghetti into the sieve over the sink and kind of forgot the sieve part. She fished all the spaghetti out and served it up anyway.

Since Ecover keeps coming last in consumer tests for cleaning power I imagine it won't do much to anyone's stomach. Serve it.

IHaveBrilloHair · 18/11/2015 19:34

I wouldn't, I once ate a fairy liquid bubble and the next day I died Sad

originalmavis · 18/11/2015 19:35

I did that when I was sleep deprived (very tiny baby who never skept more than 30 mins at a time).

I seived the spahgetti. I took the pan and squirted some fairy into it and swirled hot water around it to rinse. I poured the the whole panful of soapy water into the seive over the pasta.

I just poured more boiling water over it and added the sauce. DH ate it and said it was lovely. I was having hallucinations with tbe sleep depravation at this point, so he was very wise that day.

Queenbean · 18/11/2015 19:37

Serve it

If anyone asks tell them you put Fairy Liquid in to make them turn in to fairies

bigTillyMint · 18/11/2015 19:48

If they start foaming at the mouth, you'll know you made a mistake serving it!

DancingLady · 18/11/2015 19:51

Following, I'm keen to see what happens...

londonrach · 18/11/2015 19:52

I wouldnt. However im talking from childhood experience. As a child a 'friend' on our estate and one of the gang we played with, used to put some in the middle of refreshers. Lets put it this way...it makes you be sick

originalmavis · 18/11/2015 19:53

Did you suck the sherbet out?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 18/11/2015 19:54

Also following - will people be farting bubbles?

ihatevirginmobile · 18/11/2015 19:59

DP drank ecover washing up liquid once ...kitchen refurb it was in a cup in the bathroom - half asleep he filled a glass with water, put it on the window sill to take back to bed, had a wee and picked up the cup from the side of the sink and took a big great gulp ....
Apparently it didn't taste very nice and it was a bit foamy when he tried to get rid of the taste Grin but he went back to bed.
He told me in the morning and I was Shock thought he needed to go to A&E etc but when I checked the label I found there are absolutely no warnings at all (unlike normal fairy liquid)...and DP was fine - no sickness, no diarrhoea, no bubbly farts (or at least none I know of....if DP shared descriptions of his farts I might be tempted to LTB)

DyslexicScientist · 18/11/2015 20:15

All said it tasted great.

Still standing 30 mins later.

Was just tired and watching a vintage nigella recipe, easily done. I've cracked an egg before and threw the egg into the compost and the shell into the pan Blush
