An unwelcome discovery by a couple of salad eaters included a
sordid new ingredient.

On Saturday, the company Fresh Express announced a precautionary
recall of some of its prepackaged salad mixes, after two people
in Florida say they found a dead bat in their leafy greens.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the
two had eaten some of the product before finding the decomposed
organism in a 5-ounce clear container of the Organic Marketside
Spring Mix.

But "out of an abundance of caution," Fresh Express says in a
statement, all Organic Marketside Spring Mix salads from that
production lot are subject to the recall.

The mix in question was distributed exclusively to Walmart
stores located in the Southeastern region of the U.S. Walmart
has since pulled the product from its shelves, the company adds,
and no other Marketside salads are included in the recall.

Florida health officials, the FDA and the CDC have launched an
investigation into the matter.

Due to the animal's decayed condition, the CDC couldn't
immediately rule out whether this particular bat carried rabies,
but recommended the two people who ate the contaminated salad
receive treatment for the disease.

"Both people report being in good health and neither has any
signs of rabies," the CDC says.

The deadly rabies virus is endemic to bats across the U.S., but
is rarely contracted by humans. And, as the CDC points out,
transmission through consuming an infected animal is "extremely
uncommon." The agency adds that it hasn't heard of any other
cases of bat material found in packaged salads.

"People who have eaten the recalled salad product and did not
find animal material are not at risk and do not need to contact
their health department," the CDC advises.

No, just kidding. As I recall, bat soup is served in the island nation of Palau. The recipe is simple - you boil a fruit bat in coconut milk. No cleaning is done which simplifies things a lot. I guess that would be a cheap meal since there's a lot of coconut and a lot of fruit bats on this planet.

In some countries they do eat rats. The ones in the rice paddies are
cleaner, lighter tasting from sewer rats. If you Google "eating rats"
you will get more information than you ever wanted.

How about the live scorpion in bagged spinach? That is what a Maryland couple found.
There was a photo of it on GMA this morning.

Is that more free protein?

For what it's worth, I was once breaking down a head of bagged romaine
when a grasshopper crawled out. A very large one.

I once cut into a chunk of cooked broccoli and there was a huge slug in
it. It turned me off broccoli for a while.

Have you ever grown your own vegetables? Did you know that happens
outdoors, where all the bugs are?

Don't worry. I didn't try to sue anyone, and it did not least to any
sort of post traumatic stress disorder. It was just a rude and
disgusting surprising. If I had done the cooking I may have cut up the
florets, discovered that creature, removed it, washed the floret and
played slug roulette. But I didn't. I discovered it when I cut into the
floret, and it was a really rude surprise with a huge ick factor.

I hear you, ugh. I got a worm type thing in an artichoke once.
You just don't want to see that when you're eating.

And I haven't shelled a pecan since the time I found a live
pecan. I know, worms in nuts, hardly surprising.

True dat!

Read the O'Brian novel series. Rat catching and selling of ship-board
rats became increasingly common amongst mid-shipmen --and no doubt
other shipboard personnel-- as a ship's stores diminished in quality
and quantity.

So you're saying that if it's not an organic vegetable, bugs can't eat
it? But we all do?

Agreed. This was back before the big organic push. Whatever, romaine
made a nice hiding place. We don't have those jumbo grasshoppers
around here that I know of.

Anyway, I don't think of scorpions living where salad lettuce
would grow, but I really don't know that much about scorpions. Aside
from being related to horseshoe crabs.

Yeah, that's what she was saying. Or that stuff that's sprayed for

I'm saying organic food is not for the squeamish. If you can't
tolerate them, then don't buy organic.

It looked just like a pecan. ACK! I'm a baby. Just one
more thing to freak me out about tomato hornworms, they look
like tomato vines, you could touch them by accident. (laugh)

I'm not as bad as I used to be about bugs but still.

wiggle the tomato plant before you handle. If you hear a clicking
noise, there is a hornworm in there. True. Cut him in half with your
pruning shears and dump him. Job done!

These are all scary words put together in one hellish paragraph!

A clicking noise, okay I'll remember that. I feel like I might
have had hornworms last year so I'd better get with it.

My Dad used to make us pick them off. Some things never leave
you. Heh. They're so big. And green. And strong.

LOL -- that's why you go with a weapon I can't touch them. Ewwww!
So I've given you my way of dealing. Trouble is, the little ones are
hard to see. But I'll be darned if I'll let them bite a hole on this
tomato and then move onto another and another.
"If" you have no objection to using a shake-on powder, there is Bt, an
organic insecticide.. I use the powder on my broccoli and cabbage
because I know those staggering white moths bring little worms and I
have used it on corn (although if you buy corn seeds that say that the
husks cover the cob tightly, you won't be bothered by corn worms) and
sometimes use it on tomatoes when times are really bad.
Off to battle!
P.S...my tomato plants have all been potted up into their final 1
gallon pots. (they grew faster this year) They are lined up on my
kitchen windowsill and just behind the faucets. (I should only have 4
plants -- I promised myself I would only keep 4 plants. But I couldn't
kill the 'just in case' seedlings so I have 10 tomato plants) All
waiting for it to be warm enough to spend the days outside on the deck
to harden off.
I'll pot-seed cucumbers squash this weekend.

I did see some of that last year so I'm prepared that I'll need to deal
with it.

That's the worst. First I have to murder the extras in any given cell,
then I have to let some die after all that work. But you have to plant
extras.

I have my cukes going, too. I did buy parsley seeds, so I'm going to
plant those soon. Already planted spinach, lettuce and threw in some
shallots for a joke.

Yep, Dave. I always wash fresh vegetables. And generally cut things
like broccoli and cauliflower into florets first, then wash them in a
collander. I'm sure if I'd been preparing that cauliflower myself I'd
have found and disposed of that slug. Not to be included as added
protein.

I love fresh cabbage. I've found some kind of larvae when tearing off
the thick outer leaves of fresh cabbage prior to washing it. I'd have
discarded those leaves anyway. Threw the bugs and the tough outer
leaves away. I didn't throw the cabbage away.

Yes, bugs are naturally occuring in gardens. Doesn't mean I want to eat
them. That's why I thoroughly wash any and all fresh produce.

So ... we brought the aforementioned hummingbird cake which has
pecan pieces all over the top. It's sitting on a sideboard and
I see my SIL bending over it, looking. Something's moving, she
says.

Flashback to the liviing pecan. Turns out she was making a little
joke about seeing hummingbirds, but all I thought was Horror Show
another live pecan!

She couldn't have known, but the look on my face ...
