fried fly anyone?

[cecil39]

I had one of those annoying buzzy flies zimming around the kitchen this morning, it evaded every attempt of capture, that is untill I melted some bacon fat in the pan ready to make some hot fried egg sarnies, you've guest it, when I went to crack in the eggs there the blasted thing was, sizzling in MY bacon fat, I could have cried, these sarnies are a rare treat and it was the last of the bacon fat, so had boiled eggs instead, not the same is it?

I'd have carried out and just not served up the fly.....

[cecil39]

but what did it do in the fat when it died, YUK

[boxtops]

Heat would have sterilised it, I'd have risked it.

"but what did it do in the fat when it died"

Sizzled a bit I imagine.

[Lie-in King]

Bit of extra protein...

[stewey]

Was it a Japanese fly?

[ChuckFickens]

It would have been overcooked by the time the eggs were done though.

[Lie-in King]

Mmm, crunchy...

I would have taken the Fly from you if it had still been raw, my two cats just love Flies and spiders (spiders are nice and crispy). However neither cat seems to be very good at catching anything - not that this stops them trying and driving me demented at the same time.

[mccfluff]

mmm tasty

[boxtops]

Wolf - yes I agree. Moths are high on the menu at the moment, and the odd spider. I wish they could catch the slug that seems to be downstairs, I keep coming down and finding the trail but no slug. Anywhere. Sorry cecil, if it had been slug in your bacon, I would have politely declined.

I adopted my first cat when he was a pensioner. I remember clearly the first morning - I woke up and he was sitting on my pillow crunching his way through a spider. I could see legs hanging out his mouth. It seemed huge, yuck!

[cecil39]

never thought to give it to the dog, she often snaps a fly from the air and eats it, hope she don't do the same with a wasp, that might be the animal version of a curry, hot and zingy.

[ChuckFickens]

If you'd given it to the dog it would have never eaten a raw one again, it would expect them all to be fried at the very least!

[maggie21]

Errrr nasty.

[TTG]

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed the fly......you can probably guess the rest.

[looobylooo]

ooh dear ..

that reminds me of the other week when i went to have a roast chicken leg that was wrapped in foil and in the fridge, from sunday dinner...

the leg was tasty and i was just contemplating having the other one, when i noticed a big dirty fat fly come crawling out from the crinkled up foil!! .....

the little s0d had obviously flew into the foil parcel just before it was scrunched up and put in the fridge earlier....

i nearly heaved when i thought of how it had no doubt been crawling and whatnotting over the chicken legs for the last 5 hours, and how id just eaten one of them!! ....... :o/

eeeeeweeeegh.... not nice ... not nice attall .....

[nolaces]

What a waste of bacon fat Cecil.
Hope you enjoyed your boiled eggs anyway.

[AlBags]

Never eaten a fly? Even by accident?
Why didn't you just scoop out? lol
