[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 79537, member: 1991"] Just an update - because I was so busy cooking last night and because I've been cooking a lot of stir-fries over the last week and I wanted a change (and something easy) I bought some family-sized lasagnes from a well-known outlet. difficult child 1 & GF2 especially love these and will demolish most of one between them. While I was busy working on labels for my bottled strawberries, husband was getting the lasagne out of the oven. As he scraped away a blob of cheese on the edge of the foil tray, he noticed what appeared to be a sliver of ivory. Thanks to the palaeontology he's studied, he recognised it instantly - a rat molar! The whole thing, too, right to the root. This wasn't a rat wandering into the cardboard box on shipping, the only way a rat could lose a molar so thoroughly is if the rest of the jawbone has been removed (by erosion, or cooking). So I'm sitting here looking at my piece of lasagne and thinking - can I ever eat lasagne again? difficult child 1 happily ate his, so did husband. "Any rat in it is clean now, it's all been thoroughly cooked." And I'm remembering Magnus Pyke, English scientist and eccentric who in the 80s was advocating that people should eat more rat because it is nutritious and would solve the pest problems of a number of the world's cities... but I don't think I can live like Magnus Pyke, thank you very much. I'm off to cook more strawberries (from the freezer) and maybe find something vegetarian for dinner. Marg [/QUOTE]
