Food, Cooking and Health: Health risk

Health risk

By SoupCanoe - 29/08/2011 08:33 - United Kingdom

Today, my mum gave me half-raw chicken for dinner. After she refused to cook it again, I threw it away saying that I didn't want to get salmonella. She told to be more grateful, and that I was an idiot for trying to use salmonella as an excuse because, "It's chicken, not salmon." FML

Today, I found out that my boyfriend's mom doesn't believe you can get food poisoning from food that is cooked. She gave us food that had sat out all day/night and then got angry when I said we could get sick. FML

Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML

Modern Family

Today, my stupid drunk dad was yelling for food and since my mum needed to finish her taxes before midnight, I told him to STFU and passed him prawn fried rice, which he told me to shove up my ass. I threw it in the bin, since he's the only meat eater in the family. When she'd finished, she yelled at me instead of him. FML

Tasty!

Today, on the kitchen counter, there was a plate that had snacks on it. I decided to take a bite. I spat it out. Later on, my mother told me it was dog food. FML

Today, I woke up late and in a rush, I grabbed what I thought was a container of leftover spaghetti from the refrigerator to take to work. At lunch, I opened it to find it wasn't spaghetti, but raw marinated chicken my roommate had prepped for dinner. I ended up eating a vending machine sandwich that tasted like cardboard. FML

Today, my parents told me not to make plans for dinner as they were bringing it home. Normally, that would be great but they brought home slop from some buffet that had just opened. Everything was greasy, too salty, or bland. I told them they could have it, and made my own dinner. Now I'm being called, "The Food Network critic." FML

Today, my mom and I had an argument about my laziness. We did this as I was eating uncooked rice because I didn't want to have to walk to the kitchen and put it into the microwave. FML

Am I really the asshole here?

By What did she expect? - 07/04/2024 02:00 - United States

Today, my girlfriend screamed at me for throwing away her food, calling me a sick, controlling psycho. When I pointed out that the seafood pasta I tossed was a week old and almost certainly rotten, she dug the box out of the trash and ate it to prove a point. Now she's got food poisoning and somehow it's my fault. FML

Today, surprisingly, my roommate made a nice meal. Within an hour, I started throwing up. When I confronted her, she confessed that she'd used long expired ingredients, including meat, because she didn't want the garbage men to think she's "the type that wastes food." FML

You should have said 'I meant chicken pox!'

Well, you probably should have cooked it again yourself rather than throw it away, but fyl, that's disgusting.

You should give her some half-raw chicken that was leftover and then have some fully cooked salmon the next day, then wait and hope she gets it from the chicken's raw parts and suggest going to a doctor's office when she doesn't know what happened. While in the waiting room(sitting right next to her) say that she may have salmonella, but don't say it was from the chicken or the salmon. Before the doctor tells her what's wrong, ask innocently if it was because she had salmon yesterday. After that, mention how she also refused to cook some chicken a second time and that's probably how it happened. Ask the doctor which theory is right. When they say it was undercooked chicken, look her straight in the eye and say out loud for the doctor to hear...."I bet you wish that you had cooked our dinner a second time huh?" And then slowly smile menacingly. She won't make that mistake again. Because now she has a bigger problem. She believes that you are out to get her. Suggest that she gets a therapist for that....

Wow, you'd rather get her sick to prove a point, instead of just Googling it for her? I hope you're joking. And instead of bitching that she wouldn't re cook it, JUST DO IT YOURSELF! Your idea is stupid, mean, time consuming and slightly dangerous when it's easier to not be so lazy and spoiled.
