the jar was very tall, and didn't fit in the cupboard
for a while we had spaghetti in a different pot in the cupboard and a jar of useless spaghetti that you couldn't eat because a stupid budgie had spent hours squashed on top of it.

I thrive on little details like this.

to fair, even a 30 year old spaghetti jar and a budgie that's been dead for 20 years are more interesting than the usual

You should've kept the spaghetti jar to bury it in.

nah, that's what biscuit tins are for
unless you're my friend peter, and you don't bother.

and your cat digs it up 2 days later and brings it back in.

I used to bury my neighbour's cat's kills,
which would invariably be dug up and devoured by a fox, the following evening.
Foxes are much better than cats.

Without legislation though,
cats are much better at avoiding being savaged by packs of posh hounds.

To be fair
hospitals clean the instruments that they use to operate on people by putting them in boiling water for 10 minutes, so a budgies arse on your raw spaghetti shouldn't really be any barrier to eating it.

In my old supermarket job I frequently had this argument with my boss, who kept bollocking me for throwing away split bags of frozen veg.
Fuck the food hygiene law, he'd say, wrap the thing up and mark it down. The customers are going to boil the stuff anyway.
Oh, so all the dirt and other shit that's got into the bag just magically vanishes when placed into boiling water? was my normal reply.

Top tip: NEVER buy marked down frozen food unless it's clearly a short date issue

Tell him to boil a shit and eat it.

You must live in The North
if your surgeons use instruments "boiled in water for 10 minutes". They get pressure-steamed or irradiated, not run through a fucking dishwasher.

Yes, but
nobody cooks spaghetti in an autoclave, so it wouldn't have made sense.
(username failed moderation, Wed 5 Mar 2014, 8:52, closed)

I do.

You can't expect me to

I think the only solution is to feed the budgie to the cat, then microwave the cat.

Pressure cooking spaghetti works just fine.

You could always, you know, just break the spagehetti in half and store it in a smaller jar in the cupboard.

I didn't get much say in the shopping.

I could never forgive my mother
for always breaking the spaghetti before she cooked it.

I was 15 before I had spaghetti.

I was 16 before I had
a kebab.

So don't give me your tales of deprivation.
(username failed moderation, Wed 5 Mar 2014, 14:22, closed)

I remember my first kebab.
I was 17 or 18, and I carried it home and fed it to the dog. I might have been drunk enough to buy it, I wasn't daft enough to eat if.
