Right lets see if any of you know of any "Danger foods" for instance:

A couple of hours ago i was happily making stew for the kids tea peeled and cut the spuds, no problem.
Peeled and cut the carrots, no problem.
Peeled and cut the onion, no problem.
Boiled the kettle and poured the water not a problem.

Opened the can of corned beef, not a problem went to remove the lid PROBLEM :eek: nearly removed my thumb large raggid gash in my thumb bleeding like hell hurt like hell see the flesh inside the whole shebang!:mad:

I was very careful removing the lid as i have cut myself before but the tin kind of slipped out of my hand and then the tin bite me!

So i am declaring Corned beef my number 1 danger food.

What is yours and why?
 
Another danger food:

Stringy cheese the kind you get on pizza! i sat howling my head off laughing as daddiboo was choking on it as it had gone down but like he had swallowed string half was still on the pizza the other half was down his throat he was pulling at it to get it out but it just streched futher and further while he was choking i couldnt do anything for laughing he was not amused!!!!
 
When you have a shakey hand like mine, which has a mind of its own, all food is dangerous.:D

I particularly hate the sealed plastic packs that bacon, ham, salami etc. comes in. The one with the little bit on the corner that's meant to tear back, and let you peel back the whole top off easily. I've never managed it, and have to result to stabbing about with a knife, which for me, or anyone unfortunate enough to be near me, can be quite quite hazardous.

Those of us without YOUR problem, have that problem! They are just stupid bits of pakaging!

(If they a least gave us a clue by colouring the corner we need), with me it's, do I search for the easy open corner and starve to death or do I risk going in with the knife?

The knife always wins!

:D Don't be sorry.

If I can make just one child smile, an old lady giggle, or Accy Jay roll about laughing, my job here is done, and I can then return to my own planet.
 
I hate those containers too. I don't think the people who designed them have ever had to open one.

Frozen peas can be quite dangerous. They have a way of sneaking out of the freezer when you're not looking and landing in the pile of washing on its way into the washing machine. Not exactly life threatening but not good.
 
The washing machine is very close to the freezer. When the washing comes down from the laundry basket to the washng machine it rests temporarily upon the floor in front the machine whilst I open the door - the same bit of floor occupied by any renegade pea which may have escaped from said freezer.

ive cut several fingers with the corned beef can .......needed teatnus jabs too .i didn't like that at all .....beware the corn b**** can.
 
Ah.............
My poor baby. I have to agree the dreaded corn beef can has to be one of the biggest hazards ever.
It's about time these confounded things were banned.
 
Lamb chops .. why do I nearly set my grill pan on fire 80% of the time, have to open the windows 'cause the smoke alarms are going off and open the windows wide, plus the fact no handle on the grill and burnt fingures in the process in my panic to withdraw it away from the elements ??

Maybe, I should not be such a dirty slut and clean it more often. :o
 
At one time Sainsburys did a round corn beef tin because people complained of the danger,,i dont know whether they still do,i dont shop there any more,
 
Why does corned beef come in those oblong tins, opened with a silly key, anyway?

Would be so much easier if it was in a normal cylindrical tin. You could open both ends with a tin opener and slide the meat out.
 
Just going back to your thumb Mummiboo, did it stop bleeding or did you need professional intervention? Are you up to date with your tetinous jabs?:(
 
Sardine tins that come with a key to roll the lid back are the devil's own invention. I love sardines on toast so I often open a tin of the things.

Half the time, the key snaps off when the lid is only open an inch or two. This necessitates getting a knife to prise the rest of the lid off. As the bit that has been opened is razor-sharp this practice should only be attempted while wearing industrial-strength leather gloves, otherwise lacerated fingers. When the process inevitably results in a buckled, still closed lid, a tin-opener has to be deployed. This is fine until you get to the rounded corners of the tin when the opener jams and you sprain your wrist trying to move it. At this point the tin falls off the opener, always lid-side down, and results in a puddle of oil on the floor. As you step forward to get a cloth, with which to clean up the mess, you skid on the oil and sprain your ankle.

Corned beef tins? Easy-peasy. It takes guts to attempt sardines. :D
 
A vice and pliers are the best tools for sardines and corned beef tins. :D Never had any trouble with them........ well yet anyway. :p
