Look what was in my mixed leaf salad from Londis...
Yes, that's right.
A STINGING NETTLE!
It is a deeply felt but newly discovered belief of mine that Your Food Should Not Hurt You.
Now quite literally have bee-stung lips.

Well at least you know your leaf salad was 100% organic. No pesticides here.
Ouch!
But I bet there were some dock leaves to take away the sting.
Take it to some ghastly tabloid - they'd love a story like that. And you'd get free salads for years...
Ooh, ow.
Geoff made me laugh - I can just see someone like Heston Blumenthal bringing out a Nettle and Giant Hogweed salad. For those who like their eating experiences to be fraught with unusual sensations.
Other than that - yes, the tabloids would definitely love this.
Ouch - lucky you spotted it. I have always thought it strange and clever how nettles lose their sting if you infuse them for tea or make them into soup. If you were Huge Fumbly Whippingstall you would have made it into pate and eaten it on tree bark for a treat!
Thanks, all. I have my suspicions that it was Londis man and a belated revenge...
Bloody hell!
Mind you, recently, the BBC seems to have featured an unusually high number of programmes about the "joys" of eating roadkill. Perhaps this is the vegetarian equivalent?
Was it deffo a stinger and not a deadnettle? Not that I'd be too pleased at a plate full of deadnettle. Or maybe the salad is from the same people that supply the nettle-eating championships.
Marsha - ha! Hardcore risktaking vegetarians will go for the deadly nightshade/poison ivy salad...
Lletrah - yes, it stung me on the mouth. Ouch!
Nettles are good for you, silly, slaminsky.
