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.

Mmmm placenta chutney

Right, chuntney is now cooling in beautiful christmas jars

I do feel a bit bad, but twas HerBeatitude's reply that swung me. I make spag bol all the time and that has blood in it. Much more blood than I added to the chutney too. Not my blood, granted but I have no terrible diseases so I feel justified, ish.

it's fine, thoroughly cooked. Don't tell them!

Oh good Lord please please don't be anyone I know!

I just made my chutney and if it had any of MY blood in I'd bin the lot. Period.

None of you will be eating any homemade chutney you're given this year, just in case, will you?

Sorry about that.

Hurray! It was me wot swung it! I will be responsible for causing an outbreak of a heretofore unknown disease!

Eeeuw, is that true?

You could always call it Hannibal Lecters special christmas chutney.

My children call gravy 'blood sauce' which of course it is [ick] - it's not so different!

Thanks poface, i had no idea

Note to self- do not eat any chutney given as a present this year incase friend is actally OP.

my placenta went to the path lab to be scraped and prodded for why it failed me so badly

if i had seen it id have kicked the useless thing around theatre

Well, chutney is often eaten with meat, which has blood in it so I would keep the fact to myself, and go ahead.

If I knew I would look at it curiously, and eat it anyway. But then I like Black Pudding.

Nobody will know! It would have been well boiled anyway so it wouldn't be unhealthy. It's just the idea of it.

Hahahaha, ewwwwww.

Can't count the number of times I've served a (vegetarian) meal with a drop or two of my blood in it [not safe with sharp knives].

But chutney's boiled to death isn't it?

Why are people being so squeamish? You mostly eat meat don't you? What's the difference?

if the food boiled then any blood borne virus will be denatured

not prions

you are of course correct.prions are not denatured by heat

i salute your keen eye and ability to get PrP in a wee conversation about chutney

Haha StrictlyKatty you wrote 'Period' at the end of your post in a thread about blood.... teehee

"Is there an allowable limit of faeces in just normal meat?"

Cheap meat (e.g. fast food burgers) is made on a conveyor belt. According to Fast Food Nation faeces does spill out of the guts onto the conveyor belt and contaminates the meat, from time to time.

Is the conveyor belt stopped and the place contaminated? Well, no. It would be very expensive to do this. Instead they irradiate the meat at the other end, to make sure the bugs in the faeces are killed and the meat is safe to eat. (Of course every so often this doesn't work, and you get an e-coli outbreak. E-coli comes from faeces).

So, yes, there is pooh in the meat. How much is allowed I don't know.

Sorry for the TMI everyone, but HerBeatitude did ask!

Duh, that should have been "de-contaminated"
