That is the most amazing thing I've ever heard of :eek: Dunno how that one passed me by all these years...

Can only offer my sympathies, Gilly. If I find one tiny bit of gristle in my Chinese take out I find it hard to finish the rest. If I found that I would be in therapy for the rest of my life.

Apologies for the quality, taken with my phone.

Found in a bowl of Ravioli out of a tin. Thankfully I hadn't started eating.

It feels like gristle, but I haven't ever seen or heard of gristle that had sprouted shoots like that. I thought they were legs when I first spotted it.

I feel like hurling...

Put your brain back in your head man. :D
