50 shocking facts about your food

[TwoIfBySea]

Anyone else starting to feel queasy?

So glad I give the bits of pasta that fall out of the colander to the dog, also feeling a bit guilty but then he also eats cow poo if given the chance so there you go.

Donkey salami, there is a joke in there somewhere!

Just me then.

Aspartame, the company that manufactures it, had Donald Rumsfeld on its board. I never buy anything with that on the ingredients list.

Parsley contains more iron than liver by weight - ffs.... who's going to eat enough parsley to make a difference?

Not in UK but I want to know what's wrong with pasta! ?

suedonim, when you drain your pasta over the sink, and any fall into the sink it is worth knowing your sink contains more bacteria than your toilet.

Does no one clean, or does it not matter?

And I did know already that the handle of a shopping trolley has more germs than the handle of a public toilet. Ech!

Oh lord, I'd never eat anything I dropped into the sink - I'm a wuss when it comes to stuff like that! Mind you, maybe I should overcome the yuk factor and get down & dirty with germs because, despite my ponciness, I'm just getting over amoebic dysentery!!

The loos are cleaner than kitchen surfaces thing is because we use bloody strong disinfectant in our loos, though. You wouldn't swill your sink out with Domestos every day, would you?

And am suffering from a surfeit of cliches.
