Try steeping the weavil larvae in green tea for a few minutes. They will absorb quite a bit of tea and enlarge by 75% or more. Then spread them on a cookie sheet, sprinkly them with smoked salt and toast them--but not too long! You don't want to scorch them. Then serve them to your friends as an appetizer or afternoon snack. You can tell them they are from France. They'll be impressed. -- Food good! Fire BAD!! - Frankenstein's Monster |

I find it hard to believe a bad that has no clear hole, that doesn't begin leaking when picked up, has had a mouse inside it eating inside it and pooping inside it. With a hold or leak in the bag and mouse turds in the general vicinity within the pantry, it makes more sense. Just using good ol' fashioned logic here. > I immediately ran to the computer and looked up images of mice turds. > Which these may well be. I really can't say for sure.

Especially with a "natural" product I'd assume more variations that others. > The bag was totally sealed. No holes or anything. I must have been in > a hurry when I picked it up.

The mouse didn't need to get into the bag to contaminate. The problem could have occurred prior to the rice being bagged. Turds in rice is a known problem. Perhaps not know to this brand but others. > >> I immediately ran to the computer and looked up images of mice turds. >> Which these may well be. I really can't say for sure.

Difficult to believe the Bove's fercocktah story here, she doesn't even post the brand of that rice, yet the numbskull asks if anyone tried "this brand"... oops, my bad, I foergot she's a writer. |

I suppose it might confuse someone who has never heard of that brand. Not sure they are available in all areas. |

Take a quantity of rice in one hand and use the other hand to pick out the shrivelled and broken kernels. Same with the discolored ones and so on until you have an acceptable sample. Continue on until the whole bag has been cleaned of extraneous material. Store the cleaned rice in a container with a tight lid. Problem solved and you have saved money instead of "tossing" the whole shebang. "Tossing"...pet name for Julie's method of disposal. ============ |
