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)

Seriously people. You eat so many bugs a year...
I can't believe people would throw away 9 portions of perfectly good food for 1 wasp😮

Half of you are acting like if goat stirred the sauce with unwashed hoof.

wasp apologists

This is ridiculous, it’s just a passing wasp that went for a swim. Fish it out, keep cooking and carry on. I don’t seriously believe anyone would throw away a nine portion lasagne full of expensive ingredients for a wasp.

@TerracottaLeggy

It's quite concerning that so few people can understand the bad ethics of serving it without giving people the choice of eating it after full disclosure

Why, it happens in restaurants everyday?

Bet you all think the pie scene in Titus Andronicus is normal behaviour too

Must admit that between Titus Andronicus and Sweeney Todd, I would never eat a shop-bought pie!

A ground up dead cow, possibly its bum or who knows what parts, with a sauce made from its mother's lactation

OH my Lord!

I'd never thought of the lactation sauce! I'm a practising Christian and am now haunted by the prohibition not to seethe a kid in its mother's milk!

. . . . I am so ashamed . . .

As long as none of your guests are anaphylactic it’s fine

It will be fine . Wasps are not dirty. In fact a fly would be worse. They spend their time on shit and are covered in bacteria..if it wa a fly I'd be tempted to throw it away but would probably just throw lots of the surrounding sauce away. For a wasp, get it out and it will be fine

The hysteria from grown adults

I'm allergic to wasp stings.

I'd still eat it though, and serve it up without a second thought.

Yes..it kills my appetite. If someone so much as mentions certain rodent vermin in conversation, I also lose my appetite for hours.

God, I wish I was like that. It would make it so easy to lose weight.

I'd only have to think of the time I found mouse shit in the tea towel drawer and instantly go off my food.

God, I wish I was like that. It would make it so easy to lose weight.

Lol... as it happens I find it pretty hard to gain weight, so maybe it's my secret weapon. ( I actually know when this started- I was watching The Last Emperor and eating sweets when he killed his friend, the mouse. Was sick everywhere.)

I also chucked out the Dairy Milk I had bought, thanks to this thread, so maybe more disgusting food threads would solve the so-called obesity epidemic? ;)
