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.

Oh I'm with MP on this.

Surely it's totally fine?

And what's with the vcjd chat? If the OP has vcjd she has other worries than a bit of blood in the chutney!

Stick a bit of sweat and a couple of tears into it, then inform recipients that your 'blood, sweat and tears went into that' and they can eat it at their own risk.

Bit of bodily fluid never hurt anyone, especially not when it's been cooked with vinegar for a couple of hours.

Out of interest, has there ever been a thread about putting breastmilk in coffee when normal milk has run out?

Never done this myself, I hasten to add - too sweet.

"Bit of bodily fluid never hurt anyone.." Watch it- this one doesn't need any encouragemnt. She's already giving all her mates chutney made with her own blood. It's only a small step to getting random men to donate semen for a nice lemon curd and pickling walnuts in urine.

... or using cat vomit for cappuccino.

no access to chutney where I live, I'd kill for some even with your blood in it

melted chocolate I wrote it, laughed to myself and left it

I would be mortified if I found out I'd eaten something with human blood in, euuuuuuuggggghhhhh!

You see - this is why I don't like home made gifts

You could start a new range - who was it who let the kid pee in the coffee cup ? Piddle and pomegrante pate anyone ?

Well I hate to be the one to put everybody off shop brought products, but do you really imagine that everything on the shelves is pure and uncontaminated?

I have worked in a number of restaraunts, including one with an apparently excellent reputation and at some of the practices. Including getting ingredients for a mixed grill back out of the pig swill bucket that had been scraped off someone elses plate!

So a bit of fresh human blood in a jar of chutney is not an awful lot to worry about.

yuk, yuk and triple yuk. Won't make any difference to your chutney but will now not fancy any home made chutney ever again.

I for one would gladly eat the OP's chutney. It's been boiled up with vinegar - what's the harm?

im so glad im not one of your pals,no way would i give it to anyone its disgusting !!

If I e-mail you my address OP will you send me a jar?

It's fine - anyway, I always assume 'home made' is a synonym for 'will have maker's hair/blood/skin/nail/body parts in'. At least, my jams, chutneys and various other such-type things usually do by the end!

ilovesprouts, actually I'm your bf. Enjoy the chutney I give you in a few weeks.

And of course if you want a jar you're welcome Mits DH officially declared at lunchtime the blood made it extra specially tasty, so there!

my MIL once made a jam out of heavily infested fruit - there were loads of preserved insect bodies set inside the jam and the odd leg or wing floating about

Zebra- seriously? That is beyond disgusting. Why would she do that? The term 'heavily infested' didn't help the image.

well once you have boile the hell out of them it only serves to up the nutritional content apparently. she recently sent us a dozen jams - one looked suspiciously like that cherry one - ds and i never touched them but dh eats them religiously (mummy's boy)

Haha he'd have to be

This is very funny!! Dont know whether you should or shouldnt give it as your Christmas pressies though!

YOU ,you can pass mine on to somebody else
