Put toffee sauce on a particularly scrumptious chicken lunch. Helpful (?) daughter had put it on table as well as gravy boat ! Luckily only I did it and was thinking everyone was too polite to say how sweet the food tasted. When I apologised for the terrible taste though, it did cause a laugh !
Definitely do not do this. Scenario: Crusty seeded bread with lots of sunflower seeds. Scattering of seeds fell onto breadboard. Picture picking up a couple of seeds and popping them in your mouth - one of the seeds starts to wriggle a bit. Sun flower seeds do look remarkably like wood lice when you haven't got your specs on!
