Eating raw pasta shapes

Hilarious posts !

Yes , opened up a real can of worms, it appears ?

Anyone willing to own up to that one ? I used to love "The Worm Song"

"Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I'm going down the garden to eat worms "

Anyone else remember that one ?

I think the third line was
I'm going down the garden to pick up worms.
Long thin slimy ones, big fat juicy ones
I' m going down the garden to eat some worms

Anyway we don' t often eat tinned produce.

AmberdogxK9 - fascinating what we have managed to eat in our time isn't it .
The cattle feed, goat feed and caterpillars are hilarious.

I ate raw sausages too and my sister used to eat raw potatoes. [yuck!] [yuck!] What was my mother thinking of?

DH tells me he used to sit on the kitchen table and eat lumps of raw suet when his mum made suet puddings. Sounds revolting to me but he loved it

Hello dog biscuit lovers everywhere! I used to share dog biscuits straight out of the bowl with our old Peggy dog. Weirdly, she seemed to sense that I liked the black ones and just left them or maybe she just hated those! I still love the smell of dog biscuits in the pet shop....

I us d to eat soap my sister used to eat worms thinks ng they were strips of liquorice. My hubby liked dry porridge oats with sugar on .

My son always ate raw sausage/sausagemeat when given the chance. His favourite thing was when I was making stuffing and adding apricots, breadcrumbs, egg, etc. He always helped to clean the bowl! Ironically, he has been vegetarian for over 20 years!!

Auntbett my dad worked for Winalot in the late 1920's/30's. His trade was "Biscuit Maker".
I can remember him saying that it was fine to eat dog biscuits, they did it all the time in the factory.
Re: the raw potatoes I loved them, grew up on them. Shared a bedroom with my older sister and she would complain about my 'crunching' in bed.

Oh yes, raw sausage meat! Used to love it . And, of course, raw cake mixture. I always loved the look of the dog biscuits in the bowl in my grandmother's kitchen, and was thrilled once when left alone there so I could eat some..... but I was so disappointed . Never did that again!

I can't think of anything worse than eating raw sausagemeat - isn't it full of germs?!! My friend used to eat dog biscuits and her brother would eat rice pudding with tomato sauce in it. The worst I did was to eat drinking chocolate with sugar in it and later mixing different food flavours into porridge!

raw cake mix. still love it. and cheese rind

Raw sausage, well yes, but I suffered from it! Worms!! Apparently, in the past it was quite common for pigs to suffer from them and if the meat wasn't cooked, it was passed on. Never ate it again, I think my mum was told off by the nurse at the clinic.. My brother told me it was ok to eat dog biscuits, rotter!! Mind you, they tasted fine.

I used to eat scoops of dried baby formula. In a ton with white and blue writing, called national formula or some such thing.

I used to pick bubble gum off the road and eat it with glee ! ABC gum- Already Been Chewed !

my cousins would eat Lettuce butties with sugar on

and my late dh dripping butties!!

Our golden retriever just loved raw pasta. If he heard the rustle of the pasta bag, he would appear from nowhere waiting for his fix ??

Our hens love pasta, but cooked - they seem to think it's worms.
My weakness was fresh yeast, mixed with a little sugar.

pinkwallpaper I remember those tins of National Dried Milk for babies. Weren't they issued free to mums in the fifties? DB (and probably me ) was reared on it. You mixed it with sugar Hardly surprising we have terrible teeth.

My DB loved eating the skin off custard. He would do it in front of me to tease as the sight of it made me gag. Apparently, he still likes it ?

Re: the Worm Song, I sing this to my DGCs when they are grumpy. My version is

'Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
I'm going down the garden to eat worms yum yum
Big fat juicy ones
Long slim slimy ones
And itsy bitsy teeny weeny worms yum yum

Down goes the first one
Down goes the second one
The third one gets stuck in my throat ahem
Big fat juicy ones etc

Up comes the first one
Up comes the second one
The third one gets stuck in my throat (vomiting noises)
Big fat juicy ones etc'

Always raises a smile.

Tried dog biscuits, didn't like them. I did like nibbling Oxo cubes and I still love skin on custard (or any pudding).

My youngest daughter used to raid the dog`s bowl when she was crawling, she loved Lassie meaty chunks. And the dog, a mighty German Shepherd, sat and watched her eat his dinner! She says now that that`s why she has nice shiny hair!

Now uncooked cake - it is amazing any cake mix I make even makes it into the oven!

bikergran I ve always put sugar on lettuce and tomatoes, still do
When I used to eat meat I loved raw bacon and I do like raw cauliflower stalk dipped in a bit of salt
