Dogs eat lots of stuff which is quite revolting, and may well be bad for humans. I remember Sally Jane, an English Setter I used to know. She maintained the kitty's sandbox right well; the cat turds did not have an opportunity to reach room temperature before Sally gobbled them up.Justthisguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277333206171756636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39047911136678175302010-04-01T00:07:12.428-04:002010-04-01T00:07:12.428-04:00There was a Far Side cartoon years ago, with the t...There was a Far Side cartoon years ago, with the title "When Potato Salad Goes Bad."

It's when it starts to smell a little sicky-sweet that you turn it over to find a nice glaze of blue/white fuzz.<br /><br />Heck, my sniffiness saved my... tongue, one day. I caught myself sniffing a freshly opened can of soup before I put it in the bowl to nuke. Good thing I did too, as the can must have had a pinhole and the brothy brew smelled just a wee bit like rotten eggs. I probably would have boiled that right off and/or masked it with the freshly heated chicken broth... god knows what even that first spoonfull could have done, there wasn't any pressure on the can when I opened it but soups are ripe (hah) for botulism....Dr. StrangeGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349076338197668654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66020350655310643842010-03-30T22:10:35.841-04:002010-03-30T22:10:35.841-04:00I always thought kimchi was like yoghurt or cottag...I always thought kimchi was like yoghurt or cottage cheese.
