Don't eat the power bowls either.

Got to do something about that weak stomach of yours.

I've eaten stuff in my lifetime that would make a goat barf. I figure as long as it's cooked to death and doesn't try to crawl off the plate it's OK.

My wife and I used to joke "Just pretend you're camping".


FWIW, I've bought "bowls" like that and a lot do have some strange rice or funny grain that makes little curly bits that could look like worms. As long as they're cooked well and don't move, same as above.


Pork could contain Trichinella Spiralis which can cause Trichinosis if it's not fully cooked. Ditto for Bear, Horses, Rodents and even Humans.
Not common at all in modern pork that's commercially produced. Used to be a big deal when hogs were fed garbage or allowed to range free. (this is why I won't eat any feral hog meat).

This is what Trichinella looks like:


And for the record it takes a microscope to see it.

If you ended up with your head in the "Chuck Bucket" it's more likely you let your head take over your stomach.

I used to tell people I could eat a bucket of salmonella and just get bad breath. The way I grew up, properly prepared and stored food was just not a thing....

I keep a bottle of lime juice in the fridge. If I suspect I've caught a food-born illness (or if I AM actually getting food-sick) I'll drink an ounce or two of that lime juice to kill off any of the nasties that have got in me.

I do the same. And people wonder why a popular Mexican beer always has a lime stuck in the mouth when served....LOL

Something else got into that bowl because it wasn't trichinella. The meat was probably spoiled and the sauce just covered up the taste of it.

Want to know a real nasty one? When I was growing up my dad made venison steak a lot. One night was enjoying a nice thin venison strip steak. I take a bite and it goes pop in my mouth, filling my mouth with hot congealed deer blood that somehow got stuck in an artery, and had already spent the better part of the year in the freezer. I didn't eat steak for a while after that.
