Since AMT252, you’ve been telling us about your unpleasant food surprises. Amy in Toronto regrets this light refreshment:
In the summer when I was 8 or 9 I was super thirsty and poured a glass of what I thought was iced tea over some ice cubes. I took a huge long drink (as you do when you are super thirsty) just to realize my mother had put beef stock in the fridge in what she usually made iced tea. My stomach heaved and I gagged, didn’t throw up but felt sick for hours afterward.
To this day, some 40 years late, I feel physically ill and strong revulsion when I think about it. So gross.
Congratulations, Amy; that’s even worse than the paella I made with elderflower cordial instead of chicken stock. You may think that doesn’t sound too bad, but imagine prawns with elderflower, or chorizo with elderflower, or onion with elderflower. If your imagination is at all accurate, it will tell you that that is NOT an agreeable combo.

I once woke up thirsty, went to the fridge ad decided to finish off what I thought was a bottle of mineral water. It was actually spirit vinegar. Ugh! That’s a night I won’t forget.
