Marmite and Nutella both look like poo... calling Dr. Freud!

If your poo looks like Marmite I would suggest a quick trip to your GP - unless you're taking iron tablets.

Folie a Deux, Cabernet Sauvignon, California 2015, whole bottle, fining method unknown, with a supper of Cajun collards.

I'm not connoisseur enough to say "more like Marmite than Vegemite" or vice-versa but that gets one there without the iron tablets.

It's the collard greens, obviously, . Grizzly Bear scat sometimes contains small bells, and smells like pepper.

Aldi customer finds half a rat in packet of frozen vegetables
Pat Bateman, 60, said she had just finished feeding lunch to her two-year-old granddaughter and was putting the packet back in the freezer when she spotted the rodent...I couldn’t believe my eyes when I pulled it out. It just looked like half a rat. It had fur on it. I showed my husband and because it was frozen we left it to defrost before taking another look at it.”....“We felt physically sick after finding the rat,” she said. “We had eaten almost all of the bag before we saw it, and what’s even worse, I fed it to my youngest granddaughter.”
She seems to be thinking that they ate the first half. Seems very unlikely from her earlier description.

Still...might have made a nice ratatouille.

That’s utterly disgusting. But I suppose these things happen. But in modern day society maybe she should sue?

Compensation offer of £550, up from the £30 off a future grocery bill seemed quite generous.

But such a big jump might suggest they were a bit worried. Especially with two complaints from Environmental Health as well.

You missed the sarcasm. Either you need to remove the “almost” from your name or I didn’t do a good job...
