Live food or dead food ?

Once it's on the floor, it's gone. I could never eat it

It all depends on the rules you choose to play by. There's not just one rules, there are loads. Didn't get there in time to avail of the 5 Second Rule? Use the 10 Second Rule. Didn't make that one either? How about the 15 Second Rule? You're edging into fairly dangerous territory, however, when you strat using the Last Night Rule.

In our house the dog has a one second rule , on a similar note he's ambushed and killed two starlings recently.
No fcukin' messing in our garden with poncy bird feeders.

Eventually, yes, we all do. But you won't die from eating a battered sausage that fell on the ground, your body will have taken care of any bacteria.

I'd still eat most things that fall on the ground, within reason of course. I learned that lesson the hard way after I dropped my marmalade sandwich on the tarmac in the school yard, picked it up, wiped off the dirt and took a bite...

Tiniest chip I'd missed made shìte of a back tooth when I went to chew my food. Fcuking PAIN :pac:

Years ago I was working in a large hotel. I saw a chef accidentally drop a large baked ham joint onto the kitchen floor.

It landed and skidded away about 3 feet. So he cursed and penalty kicked it and it span another six yards across the floor bouncing like a snooker ball of 2 or maybe three worktop legs.

He then picked it up proceeded to carve it for serving.

He certainly tenderized the fcuk out of that ham!

A pint o Guinness

Doesn't the bacteria gather instantly making the rule irrelevant? I'm a disgusting person so I still tend to do it.

And me.

It was 30 years ago and the hotel no longer stands by the way

I've eaten worse at 3am.

Ok, my food didn't fall. But I took my eyes off my burger in my hand for two seconds and my dog took a big bite out of it. She loved it. And I wanted the burger too, thats why I got it. So I ate anyway in front of the dog. That will teach her. I was drunk at the time. I love that dog.

Yeah, my immune system is A1 from living in the country drinking water from streams and eating berries off the side of the road.

I've even been known to eat a buttered piece of bread that has fallen face down on the ground.

This just had me laughing so much as it sounds just like our house lol

suicide_circus

see, this is where the logic of not wearing your outdoor shoes in the house comes in.

no shiit, piss, puke, spit dragged in on your shoes and all over the floor so your 5 second rule can be extended significantly!

If I can pick all the dirt and hairs off it I'll eat it. The hydrochloride acid in my stomach will take care of the rest.

We don't need to be as particular with hygiene as cleaning product manufacturers would like us to believe. We're designed to live in a bacteria, virus and fungus infected environment.
