I don't know what the heck it is! All I know is when I put my hand in with the crix to pull some out for the chams, I pulled out this thing, I knew it was not right just by the feel of it! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yuk!
It is now being guarded! In a secure jar! I have a horrid feeling it is aspecies of roachy I hate Roach's. Not that they have ever done anything to offend me. I am just prejudiced because of the bad press they get. I should know better really! _________________ www.rickslivefood.co.uk
