You Don't Want to Know How Close I Got to Eating That!

It's a tradition in my office for ppl returning from their hols or business trips to bring back sweets, biscuits and so on which are left "in the usual place" - a designated spot on top of a filing cabinet. I saw something in a bag there yesterday and was about to try it and thought, hmm, maybe not, it looked a bit weird. Sort of like fragmented, desiccated Turkish delight. I mentioned it to a colleague who told me that it was actually FRANKINCENSE!

So what inedible things have you eaten, or almost eaten, by mistake?

Not quite related, but this korning at 11am I went on my break and nipped to Devonshire House (student canteen thing) for one of their cheap fried breakfasts (much better than the staff canteen!). Anyway, I was just putting a sliver of black pudding a squalch of fried egg in my delicate chops when it occured to me PRECISELY WHAT I WAS DOING.

That is - congealed pig's blood + unfertilised chicken foetus (+ various other bits [strips of fried pig's back! fungus fried in crushed sunflower juice!]) = GROSS but also, strangely, WONDERFUL.

(as proved by ile scientists long ago: toast = tampon for chickens)

Anything that's in my fridge right now.

i ate some cat food once by mistake but thousands of bag ladies can't be wrong so it doesn't really count

― minna (minna), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:43 (twenty-three years ago)

UERGH! Cat food! That's GROSS. The only thing more foul than that which I can imagine would be dog food, specifically Chappie. I'd rather eat shit than eat Chappie. (Or maybe not.)

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:45 (twenty-three years ago)

I ate a dog biscuit once, but I did that deliberately, I was only 8 or 9.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:45 (twenty-three years ago)

But dog buscuits are very hard, so I would advise against eating them. A friend tried to get me to eat chicken feet once, but I refused.

Tripe and vinegar=personal favourite. Fuck only knows why.

for australian $1000000 would you eat a piece of your own excrement? in high school i once spent a whole week debating this question. i'm still pretty sure that i wouldn't do it.

― minna (minna), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

I saw this documentary about this guy who was travelling around Iceland (not the high street food shop), and he didn't have much money and the only thing he could afford was a boiled sheeps' head complete with eyeballs, he tried his best, but I think I remember him giving up after about a few bites.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:52 (twenty-three years ago)

How big a piece of your own poo? If it was small I'd do it for money. Not sure how much though. Mind you, i once decided I'd have sex with johnny Depp for £500.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 January 2003 12:54 (twenty-three years ago)

one normal sized turd. no adornment, but can be eaten with cutlery if so desired

― minna (minna), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fuck. Hmmm... What about £1m? I might do it for that. Or, actually, maybe only £500,000. Can I wear a nose-plug? I mean, it's only a poo, isn't it, it's already been in once...

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:03 (twenty-three years ago)

ok, we might be able to negotiate a million british pounds, but ixnay on the nose plug. i guess you could tell people you inherited it. what if the whole thing was televised? does that make a difference?

― minna (minna), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, it does. Hmmm... I'm intrigued. I dunno. I don't see eating a piece of shit, however distasteful, as being something that's so utterly abhorent I wouldn't do it for loads of money (after all it wouldn't hurt anyone except maybe myself). But on TV... Hmmm... You'd reduce yourself to merely the status of 'that guy who ate shit to get on tele', and that would be bad, because I certainly wouldn't want to be famous for it, and the idea of being pidgeon-holed by it forever appalls me. But the actual act itself I reckon I could do, and the money would be a bonus/incentive (obv.). Hmmm... Let me think about this.

MarkH works in exactly the same office as me. or something. "in the usual place" has been shortened to ITUP. when we rearranged the office, we got pigeonholes, one was left over, and it became the new ITUP

― Alan (Alan), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:15 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd do it for a million pounds once it wasn't broadcast on tv or something.

Today is ILX's crazy bet day! I love black and white pudding, do they ever have white pudding in Britain? If not you're missing out, it's even better than black, it really is.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:16 (twenty-three years ago)

White pudding = hogg's pudding = GREBT!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Except that someone once told me it was made of pig spunk.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't care if it's made from spiders or old skool adidas shoes, providing it tastes good.

― Ronan (Ronan), Friday, 17 January 2003 13:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I've never seen white pudding in England, but it's in all the chip shops in Scotland.

― caitlin (caitlin), Friday, 17 January 2003 15:04 (twenty-three years ago)

You can get it in Morrissons

What type of sick sad world IS this then?

Dan's a professional, and thus he knows when to leave it to the amateurs.

If Dan was getting paid for all this, he'd be richer than Bill Gates.
