Horrified. I swear I have never done this before.

[Amy :-)]

That is just gross Amy! I didn't laugh, I heaved!!   You poor thing!

It sounds like I should be saying "poor astarra!" At least I didn't heave!

Oh Dear.  I have had a dreadful past few days (nothing too drastic just one thing after another) but after reading your post I have had a great laugh.  Sorry - I know we were not meant to laugh but if you could know how much better I feel now I am sure you would forgive me.
Actually as I read through the comments I have alternated between laughing and feeling gross but the laugh won out. 

Always glad to make someone laugh Deniser Its such a good feeling and I don't think we do it enough I hope your days start to get better

If anyone is interested, my dog has been letting loose much stinkier farts (is that a rude word?) since last night. So I don't think the slug agreed with her digestive system

Now that I've written that, I'm thinking that not many people will probably be interested...

The thought of the slug and millipede made me feel ill. I hate finding creepy crawlies in my food.

I can't bring my self to eat field mushrooms now after seeing mushroom lice things coming out of the mushrooms when cooking. I buy them now and still tend to check just incase

Sorry cookie I hate finding them too, but I think finding them before you've cooked and are dishing up the meal is preferable to finding them when you're about to put the food in your mouth

Oh, urky purky Mandi! I've never had that happen with mushrooms. Maybe I should start checking too...

I'm sure that this is one area where some of the old religious dietary laws probably made sense.  I know I have a book somewhere at home which instructs how to prepare vegetables in a kosher kitchen to ensure no creepy crawlies...maybe I should pull it out...I know I'm about to start checking my mushrooms

Hehehehe The first time I asked my partner over for an evening meal I served yummy home grown squash with his favourite lamb shanks and when we cut the squash they had fruit fly larvae inside OPPS
Still have him 5 years later.

I tried to kill my husband the first meal I ever made for him.  I made chilli prawns..l halved the recipe but forgot to halve the amount if chilli....and he came from a family that only ever ate plain meat and three veg.  He survived...barely...and we have been together for twenty years on Melbourne cup day and married 18 years this year...his palette has expanded considerably since then.

As the mushrooms we buy are grown in big dark rooms I don't think they have that problem with the lice things.
When we were younger we used to pick heaps of field mushroom and that's when we had to be careful
I probably ate a few of them back then. Yuck

Hope you've recovered AMy 
Funny though, how we all react to situations though......... despite the fact that my stomach would've been squirming, I am happy to see slugs, bugs etc on my fruit and veg - we buy organic and like to know that other creatures will still eat the food we're eating

[Amy :-)]

Lol thanks for sharing those stories berringamababe and stacelee How nice that both of you are still with your partners after such unfortunate first-dinner experiences!

Is that really where the mushrooms in C and WW come from?
Even if you did eat some of those lice things Mandi, it doesn't sound like they did you any harm...

Thanks Tam And you're right. If not even a slug would eat that cauliflower, I don't think I would want to either!

Hmm, I'm curious to see who will get the next picking on... it would probably be me again if I told you what I did today
