Was going to make some rice the other day only to spot a critter hiding in it as I got it out of the cupboard. Usually I would pick it out and carry on regardless, but googled rice weevils (to confirm that that's what it was) and they have some fairly unsavoury habits which make me itch all over.
Anyway, I took it back to the supermarket in question, more because I wanted them to be aware that they may have a weevil problem than because I wanted my 68 pence back. The (extremely nice) customer services lady gave me my money back immediately but said she could see no weevil () - she insisted that it was a fly and that it must have got in after the packet was opened and that I should clean out my cupboards (which I cannot be arsed to do).
Despite her niceness, I am mildly irritated by this (and the 68p is doing nothing to soothe me). Photos of the offending creature are on my profile (blurry, due to crap camera, but you can see its distinctive snout). These are some examples of what the internet thinks a rice weevil looks like. Second photo on my profile is how the rice was stored in my cupboard - with the bag clipped shut, inside a sealed tupperware container. I am a slattern, tis true, but I think a weevil would struggle to get inside the bag in these conditions.
Jury verdict please!
