To serve family a lasagne that had a dead wasp in it?

[Scarlett555]

Spent all morning making a delicious ragu sauce for a lasagne in preparation for my brother and his family who are visiting this weekend.

It had been simmering away nicely for over an hour. Went to give it a stir and discovered a dead wasp in the sauce . I have no idea how the fucker got in there.

The ingredients were expensive. I made enough to serve 9 people.

Do I need to throw it away and start again? Or WIBU to serve it anyway? (minus the wasp obviously)

As long as the wasp is intact, YANBU.

Hoik the wasp out, give it a good stir and say nowt.

I'd eat it (the lasagne, not the wasp!)

Yuck. No, I wouldn't serve it. That's disgusting.

Of course - minus wasp of course

Why would you throw away 9 portions for 1 dead wasp? Unless there is an allergy in play, it's ridiculous

The wasp will add flavour, it's fine

Would you serve them a fresh fig?
If the answer is yes then serve the ragu.

What is disgusting about a wasp? What diseases is it supposed to be carrying? Go ahead and serve it up

Why is it disgusting? Wasps are not shit-eaters. I'd just fish the poor dead wasp out and carry on regardless.

Yeah I’d scoop it out, bring it to boil again for a second then forget about it.

as long as its whole and intact yes I'd serve it.

If it was a fly I’d bin it but I think I’d be able to cope with a wasp!

YANBU. We’ll all be eating insects for protein in50 years do a dead wasp is nothing.

And serve it to people without telling them?

Oh gawd I think it was intact. Hopefully no stray wings in there. Yuk yuk yuk. I don't think I will be able to eat any will that seem suspicious?

It might give them a buzz.

I'd worry about allergies

Just take it out. Nobody will ever know and I strongly doubt it would have any negative effect even if you did just eat the wasp.

YANBU - as long as you fished it out whole. It must've been tasty for it to find it's way into the sauce

It's cooked. Keep it piping hot for another 10 mins to be on the safe side. Don't tell the recipients.

On the other, remember that if you need to make sure that there are at least a couple of slices of chocolate cake left over, casually mentioning that you removed a dead fly before serving will usually do the trick.

I would still eat it (and I'm vegetarian). No point in being too precious about it. The heat will cook out any germs.

It might give them a buzz lol!

I’d still eat it.

Eat it!
