AIBU to serve people chutney that has my blood in it?

[you]

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this.

I'm making my second humongous batch of chutney to give people as presents for christmas. Spend a fortune on ingredients and have cut myself twice while chopping. It's currently bubbling away.

Would I be unreasonable to give people this blood tainted lot of chutney? How about if feed my family it, still unreasonable?

My finger still hasn't stopped bleeding either. Bollocks.

probably not all that bad wont do them any harm ect but it does sound pretty discusting when you say it, i definately wouldn't chuck it away though if you spent allot of money on ingredients

Oh, I wouldn't be telling them

ew!

use a plaster!

Only to vegetarians.

lol! Poor you- how incredibly annoying to go to all that effort for naught.

It's being cooked so no I wouldn't worry.

Probably best to keep the "magic" ingredient to yourself though!

I'm veggie myself, but...

People eat bloody steaks all the time don't they? It can't be that much different?

As long as it wasn't an armful...

i normally ignore chutney that people give as gifts until it is reallly old then chuck. so it really doesn't matter

Did you actually get blood in it, or is it a possibility that a tomato might have had a smidge of blood on? Honestly, it's being very well cooked so any blood that got in there would be totally destroyed and would not even exist anymore. And you probably didn't actually get any blood in anyway.

And I'm vegetarian.

Oh it's fine I guess it was only 1/2 a drop.

Perhaps you could make a feature of it and call it Cannibal Chutney.

Extra protein. Yum.

heat destroys everything except vcjd, not something you'd want to give to someone [assuming you were incubating it] But presumably cooks in restaurants serve up their blood all the time. Just don't give me any

skegness you made me choke on my tea

Gross, please don't make people eat it

Don't give any to me.

There is no way I would give anything to anyone with my blood in it.

Well as long as it's not menstrual blood I suppose

And yes I think just don't tell them. My initial response was OMG how vile, but actually yeah, it will be cooked and we eat bits of cooked blood in meat all the time don't we.

you could probably sell alot of it to vampires. they're in at the moment aren't they

Don't you have to eat brain tissue/spinal bits to get vcjd? You do with mad cow disease and isn't vcjd the human version?

Anyone saying no to dishing it out, i hope you're all vegetarian, otherwise you are being very silly.

seriously though, exactly how much blood are we talking here? honestly?

you bunch of GIRLS

of course it's FINE

half the food you eat is full of pesticides, pig bollocks or caterpillars

you can get vcjd from blood. But I'm sure chefs in restaurants bleed into our posh pub food all the time.

What they don't know won't hurt them.

I thought this thread was going to be about placenta chutney or something equally gross.

Sorry - BHTL is me - changed for a thread last night.
