Terrible food hygeine

What horrors do you remember doing when young (or even now!) To be honest I do not know how I didn't end up in hospital!

Once when my mom had brought a load of sausages from the local butcher, she asked me to put them into bags with 4 in each and I used to sometimes squeeze the meat out and eat it raw!!!!

I also used to like chewing raw smoked bacon.

Finally I used to come home from college pop two pieces of bacon in a dish and cook in microwave for 2 minutes and then add cheese and cook for another 1 minute then eat it!

Worse of all I remember it all tasting lovely, I'm too scared to try it now though!

Anthing worse??

I used to eat raw chicken which is really bad. Well not 100% raw but when it was just starting to cook in the pan. I used to always get wrong for eating raw potato, i was told it would make me ill but it did it anyway.

I had a dinner party years ago and didn't know about not preparing raw and cooked meats on the same worksurface. We all went down with the sh*ts.

Raw cake mix was always nice. I don't think it's a bad hygiene thing per se (raw eggs are a slight risk) but I doubt I'd do it now. I think the raw flour wouldn't make your tummy particularly happy anyway (it's hard to digest, isn't it?)

Also, I definitely remember a current pint of milk being left on a worktop without going back in the fridge. I guess it got used for tea etc, but who'd do that now?

But her tape worm is was an example in the Childrens Hospital....the longest their ever seen 40 yards/feet long.....she had to eat raw food in the end to entice the worm out!!!!!!

My OH's granny was famous for being lax about food hygiene. Someone found a raw slice of bacon and a cooked sausage wrapped up together in a food bag in her fridge. Many of her tinned goods had sell by dates from the 80s. She was in her nineties when she died

I am shuddering in pure horror, by reading that. That sounds absolutely horrible.

Technically there is nothing worng with eating raw bacon.. bacon is a cured meat...
It's just a case of make sure its fresh...

I come from a country where lots of raw meat is eaten. Steak tartare is one of them... Thinly sliced raw bacon is another. Not that in would eat it in this country though.

I wouldn't eat any of the following now, but when I was little I enjoyed (I find that hard to believe now) eating raw sausages.

Also, it was quite normal to have thick slices of bread, spread with lard and meat juices and covered in salt, that came from the Sunday roast.

And liver and bacon was a tea-time favourite.

Which end did she have to put the food to entice it out?

I used to eat cat's biscuits when I was little - they tasted like Marmite.

As my grandmother used to say it takes a bushel of dirt to kill you. I'm still convinced that our obsession with hygiene is the reason we have so many modern illnesses.

*someone who will remain nameless* served me pudding using an old fashioned ladel.

I can remember collaping and vomitting in the street and I was only 5! Since then, I've developed an fear of ANYTHING rusty in the kitchen. Even a slight brown stain on a baking tin is enough to make me throw it out!

My boss used to catch the tube, then a bus..waltz into the kithen and start cooking without washing their hands. I though that was pretty grim.

Glad to see I am not the only one then! I do still fret I may have worms but don't appear to have any sign of it.

Still is one of my favorites! Having Calf liver tonight.

We are pretty slack at home, but very rarely ill.
I grew up on a farm, we used to drink unpasterised milk all the time. I wish I still could.

I'm with you gadders.

From a food hygiene point of view, nothing wrong with either of those. I love liver and bacon Actually, the bread sounds really nice too. Probably far better for you than all those disgusting 'lite' spreads.

we used to get all the juice out of the lamb bone and spread it on bread - stopped in the 90's with the risk of cjd and scrapies spreading to humans.
