What an insight this blog is giving you to the International food scene.
Just a couple of days ago I was telling you about bear-repelling vegetables, now I have another item, again from BBC News, about repellent bread!
Today's shocking news comes from the UK, where a food production company was ordered to pay nearly £17,000 ($25,000) after a man found a dead mouse in a loaf of bread as he made sandwiches for his children.
The customer had already used some slices when he came across the mouse. He had purchased the loaf online, through a Tesco branch in Bicester (that's Bister, not Bi-Sester).
He said "Initially I thought it was where the dough had not mixed properly prior to baking. As I looked closer I saw that the object had fur on it”.
Premier Foods, which makes Hovis bread, Branston pickle and Bisto gravy, admitted to having failed to maintain acceptable standards at its British Bakeries site in London.
News that the manufacturer recommended using Branston pickle and Bisto gravy to bring out the full flavor of the mouse remain unconfirmed.
