Has this happened to you ?

As a very poor student I spent some time on a project at the local vet college where some experimental work was carried out on chickens. (Don't judge .. it was a long time ago)
I was offered a chicken for nothing, had to catch and pluck it myself and cut off the gangrenous wing and one leg.

Only told DH after he'd eaten and enjoyed it. He wasn't happy but he's still here 40 years later.

Not something I have ever done but I remember back in the seventies,when I was about 10,my mum dropped a plate with 12 cooked fish fingers on,intended for my 2 older brothers. She just rinsed them under the hot tap,stuck them back under the grill to re-heat and dished them up to them.

The drunk cat story has to win 1st prize, closely followed by the Jack Russell dragging a giant chicken home from the butchers! What a brilliant thread!

I wouldn't allow anyone to eat anything from my floor its too dirty, I don't clean it very often unless their is a spill or a cat has been sick.

I remember how worried you were about hygiene during your cancer treatment Ethel . No comment

Spaghetti Bol sauce for 10 people...wasn't wasting that...nobody noticed or was I'll or died!!!

Well technoNan1943 after following the "Eating Raw Pasta" thread, food on the floor pales by comparison to what went in our mouths as children .
I think I've found my people on this site

Many many years ago I bought a large frozen turkey for Christmas. Our house was tiny and the only place I could leave it to defrost was in the bath.
What a good idea. It was still in the polythene.
Next door's cat got in and I found her in the bath with the turkey eating chunks out of the turkey leg.
I cut the leg off and roasted the rest of the bird as normal and nobody was any wiser. There was no risk I thought because the polythene was still intact except for the chewed up leg. Calamity averted!
