Title: Toss Your Salad !!!!!
Post by: Lwood on September 15, 2006, 10:09:57 am
MY MY DONT WE HAVE DIRTY MINDS !!!!!

Just a heads up for those who arent News Junkies, theres a large outbreak of E-Coli in spinach and the FDA has reccomended that we all throw any fresh spinach that we may have , I believe there have been 50 confirmed cases and one death Nationwide... sorry Popeye,
This just goes to underscore what alot of forums members  practice in the way of exceptional food sanitation..
(besides how often do you get the chance to post a topic called Toss Your Salad  :o)


Edited to add that Aztecan covers this in a much less smartass way here http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=3893.0 (http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=3893.0)

Well, you got me pegged Lwood - I was all set to come into this thread and say we needed an X-rated icon for use by the side of certain threads. :P

But I'm just going by past experience of opening an Lwood Brand thread. ::)

Actually, I cant take credit, I almost choked on my Tea when the morning Anchors on CNN started making little jokes about tossing salad which Im sure had the producers phones lit up nicely, possibly requesting that Anderson Cooper do a Public service announcement on the subject... :o   Talk about a slip of the tongue

"Dude, Ill Just have some breadsticks, OK ?"

* ok, Just so this isnt too much of an Inside Joke ;) heres the current definition of   Salad Tossing (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=toss+salad)

who doesnt make the news, just reports it.

 >:( This really pisses me off becuase this is something I eat almost every day!  So what is the difference between bagged and bundled?  I like the bag 'cause you don't have to sort and wash, but do they come from the same place?  Obviously they're handled differently.  Please son't make me use frozen or canned spinach!!!

I love this story....I swear. Just LAST NIGHT I was hungry for a baby spinach salad. You know, the ones with nuts, feta cheese, cranberries, balsamic vinaigrette, etc...

 So, I went out and bought a $3 bag of spinach leaves and had a delicious salad last night. Now I have to throw it out? At least I don't feel sick today! The rest of those ingredients just don't taste the same on iceberg lettuce!!!  >:(

My hospital's infection control nurse just sent out a memo with a link to the feds, if they determine a brand name I'll post it.

Believe it or not, the bagged spinach is supposed to be cleaner, although Im such a Clorox Queen that I still give it what Ive dubbed as the 'Moffie Wash'  : a short soak in a solution of 1 oz. Clorox per gallon of water, then a thorough rinse with filtered water... so far my salads have remained relatively poopie free, but it would be nice if they came out with some Balsamic Vinegar scentd Clorox just in case I dont get it all rinsed away..

Ive also heard that Vinegar is an effective veggie wash, although Im not sure of the dilution to use..

I just can't ever see myself washing my veggies with Clorox.  Washing your delicate veggies with the same thing that you wash your toilet bowel with, just doesn't seem right.   ???

So you guys are telling me that Red Wine Vinegar isn't the right thing to clean the Terlit with ?? Jesus I really had it wrong. ( ofcourse I guess that Does explain the pink stain.... but you cant beat it for getting rid of the Klingon's that seem to be an unfortunate side effect of our water efficient toilets..)

I love having my salad tossed until Now!  Lwood you ruin or change the meaning of every thing I have ever come to believe.  When I go out for Dinner I always order one... The waiter always looks just fine (cute) and now I know in the back of my mind what he really is thinking about me....  FUCK!!!  I suppose if I asked to have my salad "rimmed" means to gently mix the salad with the dressing???"

Where do you get this shit... Floridian's have a different meaning for everything except "tidal wave" or "hurricane".....

Leave it to Lwood to soak his in vinegar first!  ;D

I guess that adds new dimension to bleu cheese salad dressing.  :o

You can toss out the spinach...as far as I'm concerned.
But when it comes to a toss in the hay...Hey, I'm all...ears!
Or is that lips?  Oh well beware of the tainted spinach....
even Popeye would have a tough time swallowing that one :P

Cranberries?  Makes me want to lose my lunch (trying to avoid the obvious retort)!

Then again, I've always picked the grapes out of a Waldorf (on the very few occasions there was no alternative salad).  The only fruit I eat on salads is tomato... or is avocado a fruit, too?  Unless it's fruit salad, and I can do without the lettuce leaf on the bottom, thanks!

How long would spinach have to be steamed/boiled to kill the e. coli?
