What disgusting, slithey creatures they are!  cussing:

All you do is leave half a steak ‘n kidney pie in the microwave to cool down for, um a week or so and the next thing you know it is infested with the disgusting creatures…  whistle:

30 seconds on Full Power stops them wriggling and makes them easier to pick out of the pie before eating.

Why pick them out? After 30 secs on full power they should be nicely cooked! Extra protein!

In the Oz outback they eat a larger variant - something called a Wichety Grub (sp?) IIRC. Saw something about it on some wildlife programme about bush tucker.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." 

Well, someone had to say it!

Silly boy!

"Pick them out before eating" referred to the maggots.

Surely you don't think I intended poor Barman to eat stale, week-old pie do you? sick2:

When I was younger and used to fish the Thames at Hampton Court bridge, much mirth was had with maggots. One of the main irritations in fishing there was open top pleasure boats that came past too close to the river bank, forcing a rapid withdrawal of tackle ( 8)). In these instances, the catapault would be loaded with a full cup of maggots and they would be fired into the offending craft.

Such fun watching chinless toffs in silly hats leaping round a boat screaming obscenities. Happy days.  cloud9:

Clean indeed. Many fishermen sit on the river bank with a few in their mouths to get them warm and wriggling before putting them on the hook.

Stands back and waits for Wenchy to vomit.

Watching maggot therapy is something that I wouldnt recommend just after lunch.  sick2:

Given that you can buy a new microwave in the UK for under $20 throw it out and get a new one. That's the only way LL will be happy.

The microwave?

If so, cut a lemon in half and lightly squeeze it putting juice and halves into a microwave proof bowl, add 1tsp of bicarbonate of soda, some cloves and a cinamon stick. Nuke it for a bit and it stops the microwave smelling.
