NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A woman claims that her 89-year-old mother spooned a dead mouse into her mouth from a bowl of Campbell's bean with bacon soup. A Campbell Soup Co. spokesman said Wednesday that the company would like to examine the can and its contents, which the family says it stored in a freezer, along with the mouse. Company spokesman John Faulkner said it's unlikely a mouse got into the can during manufacturing. Production is closely monitored at the Maxton, N.C., plant where the soup was made, he said. Authorities said the Jan. 26 incident in Erwin, about 250 miles east of Nashville, has been reported to the federal Agriculture Department for investigation. Phyllis Ingram said she believes the mouse allegedly found by her mother, Pearl Parkey, was in the can and could not have gotten into the pot of soup any other way.
Well yeah, but she was expecting to eat a piggie. She didn't plan on mouse. And the piggie wasn't sitting there in all his cuteness with his big black eyes staring at her, he'd already been chopped to bits! It's easier to say no to an animal if it's sitting there, whole. love, mom
A mouse is only a one bite meal. Its not worth the effort to catch or raise & kill. Pigs are a much better food animal.
id go for rats myself got a bit more meat on em. but in any case, joust flour up the skined mice carcases and deep fry em, it'd probably be be tasty little snack. i'm guessing yould probably need about 50 of em to fill you up though.
I would eat a pig, but why the hell would you eat a mouse? Is that even healthy? Sure, eating pig isn't the best thing for your body, but, a mouse? That's just absurd.
yes, but a mouse has so many infectious things inside it's body...it's not usually domesticated or well taken of like a pig.
Uh, do you have any idea how many diseases & toxins are carried inside the muscle of a pig??? love, mom
Pigs have viscera too. Wild mice are no cleaner or dirtier than wild pigs. The infection status of domesticated animals depends a lot on how they are cared for. Wild mice are probably cleaner than domesticated pigs. However, any bacteria should be killed in cooking, so the issue is not really important.
well taken care of!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!????? Have you SEEN a pig farm, let alone smelled one? uric acid for miles in the air. google this: trichonosis
In some cultures, eating a mouse is very normal. In some cultures, eating a pig is absurd. I'll pass on both.
exactly. in china they eat dogs and cats. try serving that up to an american and you promptly get a "oh no not fluffy!" but then they are more than happy to have a bacon sandwich. bullshit.
Yuck! Even when I was a carnivore I refused to eat pork. 1. Religeous reasons 2. Its a filthy unclean animal, unfit for human consumption as are mice. I went vegetarian on New Years Day and have only slipped up once. I ate some nachos that had beef on them. I was a tad bit intoxicated and didn't realize that there was beef in with the beans. However..... I'm the head cook at work and am responsible for making New England Clam Chowder every Fri. The Chowder has bacon grease and clams in it and I have to taste it after I make to see if it needs salt,pepper etc... I just ladle a bit into a cup and just swirl it around on my tounge and then spit it out in the trash can. Bacon grease,whole milk and heavy cream; a heart attack in a bowl.
gads, can't you get somone else to taste? I cook for my husband by scent. I no longer sample. It tastes "wrong " to me anyway.
