A few days ago, I wrote about the loaf the breadmaker created with expired bread mix, causing the loaf to never rise. While the loaf was fairly dense and difficult to chew, it was nonetheless edible. At least we were able to make a loaf out of that bread mix and it wasn't wasted.
Yesterday, Mum decided to use the freshest packet of bread mix; she was surprised to find it filled with weevils feasting on the contents. Mum ended up disposing of the mix, given that it was unusable; fortunately, none of the other packs were contaminated. Think of the irony! The old and expired pack still gave us a loaf while the newest was infested.
As for the flat loaf, Mum turned it into breadcrumbs. It will be ideal for when we next make burgers or meatloaf.
Eeek! That happened to us once, but it was moths. I'm deathly afraid of moths. :X
ReplyDeleteI recall you telling me that before! Not fun for you. :/
DeleteEWE! That sucks.
ReplyDeleteIt did. :/
DeleteBreadcrumbs are good!
ReplyDeleteWeevils less so.
But breadcrumbs really are good. Do you ever make schnitzels? Also, we sometimes use breadcrumbs to line a baking pan (you know, grease and cover in something - flour, semolina, breadcrumbs - so that the cake or whatever it is you're baking does not stick).
I hadn't heard of Schnitzels before but after a Google search I think they look tasty...especially the ones with chicken filling!
DeleteChicken's also my favourite. :-) In part because it's the easiest to make, the meat's usually quite trender on its own and you can fry it fairly quickly, so there's less danger of undercooking or over-frying it.
DeleteSounds delicious! :)
