Crunchy custard, if you'd added a bit of crumble he'd have been none the wiser....

I have to meticulously wash everything that enters the house now, ever since my father gave us some purple sprouting and it was infested with ants and aphids. OH is not so keen on unprotected veg, me I don't mind sharing.
A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.

I do not want to share my food with aphids. I have always had glasses for longer distances but lately my close sight has changed.

OMG, the dirt that was on my garlic chives wasn't dirt....YUK - maybe brushing it off isn't the right thing to do. I need to wear glasses prepping dinner these days Sad

Way back in the day a long long time ago I had an auntie with a gentleman friend. Said gentleman strayed and started playing away. Auntie found out. Found a cabbage from the garden infested with caterpillars, cooked it ( including caterpillars) covered it in white sauce and served it up to him. Told him after! The story goes she also took a pin to his condoms!

That reminds me of a sweet chestnut incident here. Our neighbour gave us a load and we had half of them cooked whole in a sauce of some sort - delicious, juicy & creamy inside. I then prepped the other half for using in small pieces and found that the insides were pretty much 100% big fat grubs - juicy & creamy...

Haven't touched them since!
