to be annoyed/scraed and a little 'ewwwwed out' at findign some sort of cabbage bug in my pre cut/bagged cabbage???

[Dabbles]

okay, so it says "wash before use" but seriously!! a cabbage bug! its enough to put you off greens! if I expected cabbage bugs I would have bought a whole head!!!

eeewwwwwww, do you think it added fibre?????

What's a cabbage bug?

Shock horror - bugs on vegetables. Squeal.

lol, its an unidentifiable bug that lives in your cabbage! duh! ofcourse!!

yabu

omg, did you think it wasgrown in a sterile laboratory or what?

You should be ashamed of yourself. You destroyed his habitat.

Perhaps a caterpillar? I found one on my organic box deliverd cabbage, scraped it off, showed it to my children who were drawing at the kitchen table and put it in the kitchen compost bin. Next thing I know a few days later DH is showing them the compost bin lid complete with chrysalis.

So not quite a slug, a fly or a caterpillar?

I couldn't touch my organic veg when I used to get a Riverford box. I was too afraid of finding a caterpillar (my phobia) but I really ought to be more afraid of the chemicals that nuke them!

I'd give you some of the vegetables from our garden but not only do they have bugs on them, they are also covered in mud.

is it still alive?

I'd prefer a few wriggly things to the thought of lots of pesticides....

OMG?? MUD??

if it was organic box then i would expect such things! but this was PRE-BAGGED FGS!!

(I will have you know i emptied the bag into a strainer and poured boiling water over it, then rinsed it thoroughly [without touching it!! ewww, lol] then into the saucepan of boiling water that i had just boiled my smoked bacon joint in... yes ye sits a dead pig, and i shouldnt be freaked out by cabbage bugs! but hey...lol)

All that for a tiny, teeny little bug?

pre bagged?? pre-what? pre-you buying it? or pre-bugs?

Well obviously not pre-bugs in this case bundle. Is anyone else impressed with my caterpillar chrysalis - making my very own butterfly in the Lakeland Compost Caddy?

bozza! yes well done on the caterpillar!!

btw the cabbage was uymmy, curly Kale, without the bugs!!

I love cabbage these days. But always buy it complete with bugs.

be happy you noticed it before you ate it
