the urban75 food shortage thread

[Sasaferrato]

I take it you've never been chased by a gang of cauliflowers?

No, but I would like an introduction to your dealer.

I bought 2kg of chick peas the other day. And, just casually, checked out prices of 25kg sacks. It's a significant discount...but I am not sure that I really want piles of 25kg sacks of legumes around the flat. Although they'd make quite good furniture. Hmm...

Probably not a good idea....

 

[equationgirl]

Yes, but a routine 'these things happen' shortage, nothing to do with Brexit.

Meds shortages aren't routine.

Quite apart from the parasites and other nasties that you can get from eating raw or undercooked meat. I genuinely don't understand why people eat meat like that.

Cause it tastes nice. Beef is lovely raw.

For a number of reasons, they are becoming more frequent.

Thank you. Edited.

With a side order of E coli, campylobacter, salmonella and lovely parasitic infections. Lovely.

I can't remember the last time I saw kids going round begging singing carols door to door. Must have been in the 80s.

If they don't know the whole carol they can fuck off. If they do, they can doubly fuck off

 

[Calamity1971]

I'm a lying bastard. I don't even open the door. Just muffled begging noises with my lights off.

You don't see much tongue on supermarket shelves these days. Is that due to supply shortages, or the squeamishness of contemporary consumers?

I hope it's due to people realising eating tongue is fucking wrong.

That's because you imprison the poor kids in the cellar.

Yeah, it's like giving a cow a snog*. Wrongness.

* metaphorically speaking, before any smart arse asks how do I know what its like snogging a cow.

Despite the advice that my mother gave me as a child not to eat anything that had been in an animals mouth I love a pressed tongue and salad sandwich.

Not from beef. It is perfectly safer to eat beef raw (that's what steak tartare is - minced raw beef). Back in the better days, I often used to eat raw steak, cooking steak beyond rare renders it fairly nutrition-less. None of the strains of bacteria you mention has ever been found in beef, they're all found in poultry, particularly chicken. Legumes, such as peanuts and soybeans have also been responsible for outbreaks of salmonellosis (disease caused by salmonella infection, causing diarrhoea, fever, abdominal cramps and vomiting). Some species of salmonella cause a form of typhoid.

Toxoplasmosis is contracted from handling cat faeces, not from food.

Fun fact: Humans' gut flora, like the gut flora of most mammals, is predominantly comprised of E. coli.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating tongue. Perhaps because I am of northern stock, but I love me a bit of tongue.
