idun Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I buy Lurpak butter and they have had an extra cardboard wrapper on it recently. When I took the wrapper off there was a little choccie biscuit there and I thought, waste of time that. Didn't look appetising.This biscuit was just stood on the worksurface and yesterday I said to husband, 'want to try this' and handed it to him. He opened the wrapper and bit and spit it out. Worst, dryest biscuit he had ever had, he declared. So today I took another of these biscuits and then thought that I had better read what they were exactly as they could have been marmite and I wouldn't have wanted that. Husband walked in as I started laughing, and laughing and laughing, on my knees I was, crying. Basil seeds they are, not for human consumption. Not that I could speak for quite some time. I shouldn't need my glasses to open a pack of butter. Danish butter should have the deceny to have a nice danish biscuit stuck to it and not something that was not for consumption. I was informed that if he had eaten it, once he drank something, it would have swollen up ten times it's original size. I keep wondering how I could have explained that at the hospital and decided that it was best that it was degueulas and he spit it out.[Www] ........ and best I hadn't eaten one either! Usually I cook well, but, apparently I am capable of offering non food products that would not be good for one's health, who would want to live with me!

idun Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Ah no, anyone of good sense should not be in my house today or be near me. I appear to be inadvertently trying poison the current inhabitants here by one means or another and it is all looking far less amusing than it was earlier, especially since the toothbrush incident tonight, of which the less said the better really. Earlier reminded me of the ditty (clean version): there was a young man from Leeds who swallowed a packet of seeds within half an hour his backside was a flower and his front side was covered in weeds. And it was that that came to mind and I was off, laughing hysterically, even though I knew it was rather serious really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well, I did think some daffodil bulbs were onions once but, fortunately, OH knew what they were and stopped me slicing them up and making an onion (daffodil bulb) omelette with them.I believe that they, too, if ingested, are poisonous.Always did wonder if the Forensics people would have spotted it when they dissected the body?

idun Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Thankyou very much nomoss, and those lovely BIG photos make them look like something other than biscuits. But IRL they are not so big and in the plastic wrapping do look like a little biscuit with choccie bits on top. AND I need my glasses these days for small writing, not when I am typing, but for reading, yes, I do.I have a few packs in the fridge and [:-))] there is dill there too! Too confusing for this old gal I'm afraid, especially as I can't grow anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 My pleasure.It might be worth sticking the "biscuits" in pots on the windowsill (nice that one can do that in UK where windows open the proper way).A bunch of fresh basil chopped very fine, with a little garlic, grated cheese, salt, and plenty of olive oil makes a great spaghetti sauce.We make loads of it and put the excess basil in the freezer for wintertime.
