I wish they had offered the cans to me. I could have whipped up some salmon mousse

I like to tell germ freaks that the reason properly cooked food is safe to eat isn’t because there are no bacteria in it, but because the bacteria in it are dead. Bon appetit!

Amazingly enough, no one has made or even photoshopped a salmon mouse...

I found a really big worm in a really big clam at a clambake bbq many years ago. Stopped with clams right there.

Crunchy Frog. Am I right in thinking that there is a real frog in there.

When my ex’s aunt was getting ready to hack a newly caught halibut, someone told me to prepare to see live worms. I don’t know if it’s true, or if he was messing with me, but went to another room, anyhow.

Roommate used to work in a kitchen. They used to pour vinegar on salmon steaks to see if they were “good.” Worms would come out en masse when exposed to vinegar. The upshot is that they’re more common in farmed salmon vs. fresh.

I try not open a can of worms. Yet for others, it’s an intellectual feast.

A moose once bit my sister.

I picked up some Greek Yogurt with a best before date of today for a good price. I’ve had some of it. So far so good. I live on the edge sometimes.

They need to check with my X. She keeps food so long that is escapes identification.

There isn’t such a thing as a Spam worm, is there?
