i made some soup today, put in some pearl barley and saw some brown "bits" float to the top, didn't think anything of it till i added the grated carrot as once the soup tuned a nice orangy colour the brown bits were still there, to be honest i thought it was just a bit of starchy scum........... once soup was ready i turned of heat and had a closer look........ yep i think i had added a little extra protien in the form of some kind of grain beetle!!! anyway i thought i'd just let it cool then chuck the lot in the bin, i went out whilst it cooled. Forgot to warn the family not to touch the soup.... got home to find half the pot gone!!!!! Do i tell them?????

Yuk!!! No that would be a bad idea!!When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author UnknownComment

My sister and I once added some garden soil to a 'special' pan of chilli. We had really nasty bitchy housemates who would steal our food if they liked it, or put extra chilli in if they didn't.

No, you don't need to tell them 'cos I'm sure lots of us have eaten grain beetles over the years unknowingly from all sorts of sources, just one of those things. It would only gross them out and make them feel bad.Last edited by Jeanied; 23-01-2010, 09:33 AM.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

As you said yourself - extra protein! You're sooo good to your family!
I wouldn't tell them though. A good beginning is half the work.
Praise the young and they will make progress.Comment
