The spinach recalls because of E. Coli remind me of when I got salmonella from spinach in the early 2010s. My ex and I were so so sick, dying on the couch watching TV together, when the news started talking about it - that's how we found out what we had and why we were sick ๐
It's the only time I've ever had salmonella.
0/10 do not recommend.
@StudChud @YarraByte I had a problem with chick peas once. Actually, it was either the chick peas or red wine I drank.
When presented with this choice, it had to be chick peas, so they've not passed my lips since.
I got poisoned by a piece of salmon. It was instant. First time I've ever walked into a doctor's clinic with a bucket. A few people were seen to that day who had purchased the salmon at the same place. And yes, I still eat salmon.
The man just tried to return a bag of spinach and the workers had no idea what he was on about. The manager was called.
Salmon is too delicious to give up!!
Ya gotta get back on the horse.
Precisely! Can't let one lil bug ruin the entire food for ya!
The one exception I have with that is the time my shitty dad brought home some white chocolate bars home (probably got them for free from some event) and I already didn't like white chocolate much... only to discover halfway through the second bar there were dead insects and eggs inside ๐คฎ I still can't really eat white chocolate to this day.
Nobody should be made to eat white chocolate. It's an imposter.
It's just wrong on every front. Like they took the most questionable part of chocolate and isolated it
EW my god wtf
White chocolate isn't even real chocolate! Bleugh!!
First of many signs that my dad didn't really care about us lol.
fuck. I donโt think frozen spinach is affected? fuck.
Not sure, but there's a list here :)
