Sorry to interject like this. I read something about mushrooms the
paper today that slightly unnerved me. Something about eating insects
and how 80% of the world is Cool With That.

Here's a quote from a website purporting to reveal the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration's allowances for, shall we say "extras"?, in food
(http://www.geocities.com/KindlyRat/FilthyFood.html):

"Mushrooms (Canned)
Up to 20 maggots per 100 grams of drained mushrooms; up to 5 maggots 2
millimeters or longer or 75 mites."

Didn't mean to put you off your canned mushrooms either. It was just
a co-incidence I read this the same day I read that.

My secret food shame is that I really like SPAM.
