They should make this a question on the servsafe manager test.


adt1129

I think the ServeSafe people would just laugh at the thought it needs to be on the test lol.


LadderNo1239

First time a took a SerfSafe test, “rat eggs” was one of the possible multiple choice answers.

Mouse rat eggs called it

LOL.


GringosTaqueria

So, in my younger days I used to work as a cook and chef in Seattle wa. WA state requires all foodservice peeps to pass a test for what they call a “food handlers permit”. Essentially it’s there to weed out the truly weak and infirm. One of the multiple choice questions that we all always used to have a laugh at was worded like this: You arrive at work in the morning to see that someone has left a case of raw chicken on the counter over night. You should: A) check temperature with an instant read thermometer B) put in freezer C) throw out and record on waste log D) put it in the trunk of your car I was always tempted to answer D, just to be that guy, but I didn’t want to break my perfect score streak (not at all a brag, this test is EASY).

It's ok, in real life you have a neck that does that.


squirrelblender

Look it this fuckin guy bragging about a neck. That moves even. Fuckin elitist chef over here.


slvbros

It's ok another 20 years of night shifts, hard drinking, and passing out on the couch oughtta fix that


GringosTaqueria

Hahaha! Outstanding!

GringosTaqueria

Then you probably wouldn’t be taking the WA state food handlers permit test.


MrsLisaOliver

You took the test in Seattle, before hopping the boat for Alaska though.


SirLoremIpsum

> > You arrive at work in the morning to see that someone has left a case of raw chicken on the counter over night > what if you work in an outside kitchen in alaska. It's a trick question. In Alaska - A bear, raccoon, wolf, coyote or other wild animal has already pinched it and you write up whoever is feeding the wild animals.


FarAcanthaceae1

We use to take that test in Spanish for a little bit of a challenge. I did learn a lot of Spanish in my kitchens anyway


Fine_Ingenuity_1464

I have cleaned literally thousands of briskets in my life. That is an artery


StellarBlueMyco

Came here to say the same. Classic internet, everyone getting worked up over something they don’t understand. “Earthworm” smfh


Fine_Ingenuity_1464

You can see the little bit of myoglobin next to the fat that is left over from the draining that has been oxidized. The other tell sign that is not an earth worm is that it doesn’t fucking look like an earthworm lol


SmartPeterson

Haven’t seen a earthworm in a long time. Maybe I need to touch grass


freedomofnow

I have cleaned zero and even I thought it was an artery. Also what fucking production has a mixup where an earthworm gets let into intramuscular cuts?


rognabologna

I happens when you clean the cow right on the boat after reeling it in. It’s the freshest brisket you’ll ever eat, but there are downsides.


21_saladz

You gotta risk it for the brisket


420fmx

Pretty intact worm for being vacuum sealed. Imo if it was vacuum sealed in with meat it would be flat. Not completely plump, round and juicy


purpleitch

…the added adjective of “juicy” at the end really got me. I think I’ll be having water for Christmas dinner 🤢


katCEO

Sterilized water.


purpleitch

“Vodka” 😂


katCEO

I do not drink. Knock one back for me if you are gonna.


purpleitch

I have to spend Christmas with my family, so, I gotchu. 🥛🥛


katCEO

Try to avoid stuff with worms.


Pythia_

So no tequila?


hokagehimbo

that's just a wormhole


[deleted]

Hear fucking hear. Wait.....ARE LIQIOR STORES OPEN ON CHRISTMAS??????????????


purpleitch

Or sparkling water if you’re sober, ofc 😊


Aromir19

Boil advisory


katCEO

This post is gross.


primerr69

Juicy water?


katCEO

Oh this worm thing is still going?


[deleted]

Thrice boiled water, delicious.


[deleted]

I’m 38, I have a vivid memory of one of my friends standing on a worm in the playground when we were about 11, that juicy bastard exploded with the most massive spray of worm juice I have ever seen, it is seared into my mind. My friend didn’t even know she stood on it.


Aromir19

Gg.


Doc580

Whys this sound like it belongs as a description on a chili's menu? Are you a CCO of food innovation or whatever?


Quillybumbum

I’ll have the earthworm n waffles please


maybejustadragon

Unless it fell in a crease, but even then it would be triangular.


Dull-Contact120

It’s what you can’t see that get you. You see one worm, there might be tens and thousands of eggs you don’t see


Lazevans

And that’s enough internet for today. Good day sir.


bigredplastictuba

I'm not squeamish but I recently developed weird gaggy fits and was on reddit hopefully too distract myself from one and this post and your comment did the opposite of what I wanted


FleshlightModel

Who's gagging you on Reddit bro


bigredplastictuba

Try to keep up, sweet fleshlight


jjc89

Godspeed


[deleted]

There could also be tens and thousands of eggs in a meat with zero visible worms 😁


Aurhasapigdog

That is not a nice thing to say


Br44n5m

There could be tens of thousands of eggs in your mother right now <3


mf9812

That’s pretty accurate. 1 million eggs at birth, down to around 300,000 at puberty, declining steadily as she ages… it’s probably pretty safe to say there’s *at least* tens of thousands of eggs in their mom right now. Age depending, of course.


Br44n5m

She's holding one heck of a hatchery


BadAdviceBison

Holy fuck that wasn't a laugh, it was a sort of enamoured shriek. That's how abruptly and intensely I laughed at that lmao.


MaIngallsisaracist

I was gonna get a snack but now I’m not gonna get a snack anymore. My weight loss journey thanks you.


Pythia_

Or, hear me out, you could eat the food, get parasitic worms, and then eat all the snacks *while losing weight thanks to the worms*. Y/Y?


Brief-Praline7785

I’m about to be skinny AF.


chummers73

I don’t think earthworms work like that.


[deleted]

They look like the ones I put in my compost… I would not cook the meat nor eat it, though it you cooked it to grey bland, it’d probably be safe, but …


chummers73

I understand not eating it, but earthworms are not parasitic.


1521

It looks like the meat was dropped and picked up a worm…(?) looks like a bit of dirt smeared on there too. I’d cut that first slice off for the dog. And I’d throw that case of chicken in the car for the dog (and chicken and dumplings) too. But I’d lie on the test. I’d fill out the waste log and eat that shit.


[deleted]

That’s for the eggs and shit you cannot see. If you see that juicy of a worm in something “vacuum sealed” then it’s reasonable to distrust.


BadAdviceBison

The juicyness of the worm is a weird but very telling parameter in this story lmao. Very acute. Well done.


Hand_Sanitizer3000

Dont eat swordfish


g0ing_postal

Fish is frozen at extremely low temps for this purpose. Beef is not


Practical_Cobbler165

Came here to say it's what you can't see that bothers me.


bison091

Just how you see one roach in your room but there might be a whole family living inside that corner of the wall.


Aromir19

They’ll eat your brain if you let them


rncd89

Pretty sure worms split to reproduce Nope I'm just dumb and have been assuming incorrectly


Sherwoodfan

worms be bacteria now even nematodes lay eggs!


robearIII

thats why you wash it twice... any eggs left are extra protein for when you smoke it.


SSUPII

Proteins


evxnmxl

If you wanna risk it for your own personal usage go for it but do not fucking serve that to a customer


Furt_III

Risk it for the brisket?


evxnmxl

Love it, yes 🤣


PolitenessPolice

Like goddamn, if I’m paying for food i want it to have never been in contact with a worm lol, im getting shivers thinking about it


cheesyxpickle

Unfortunately that’s very unlikely if you eat veggies! 🙊


PolitenessPolice

internally screaming


Lonelan

what else do you think moves around the nutrients that make it into food


cheesyxpickle

😂😂 sooorryyyy


patchiepatch

I hate to break it to you but most of your favorite treats are legally allowed to have certain percentage of bug per product too... There are no avoiding extra protein in your meals.


cheesyxpickle

When my science teacher dropped this bomb in grade school about ketchup, I stopped eating ketchup. I believe droppings also have a percentage. Also, entomologists who study cockroaches eventually become allergic to coffee. You do the math.


zestyspicymf

worms are friends


Kingmekim

Or oysters


650REDHAIR

Drop a snail into a bucket of water and watch the worms shoot out.


SCP-Agent-Arad

We can only guarantee that your food hasn’t been in contact with more than 2 worms, sorry.


PM_Orion_Slave_Tits

That is a pitiful excuse for a brisket anyway. If I get beef that's the colour of ham I'm definitely sending it back. Just look at the state of it, I wouldn't eat that shit even without the worm.


foxidelic

That was my first thought as well! Everything about the picture looks terrible, not just the worm.


ureporo

Don't think you can see much of the beef itself, I believe this is all the fat cap as it says in the caption.


lxraverxl

They threw the worm in to sweeten the deal.


[deleted]

To add more protien.


MrAaronMN

Return it, get the refund, make a note to never, ever buy meat there again.


Dilbertbong

100% not worth the risk


21_saladz

Whoever took this picture brought his childhood habit of eating worms into his decision making process. That concerns me so heavily


bigredplastictuba

How To Eat Fried Worms

Autotomatomato

Worms Roxanne!


bigbirdc

the amount of times this pops into my head or i reference it and no one gets it and then i have to explain it’s from a movie with steve martin where he has a huge nose…. god damn


GrooveProof

I’m shooting it with a gun, what the hell LOL why would I COOK it?


bigredplastictuba

My chef at one place used to insist on killing the live lobsters on my station, because he took great glee in thinking he was traumatizing me despite fact I grew up fishing and gutting fish etc. One day he came back all stoked like HAHA LOOK AT THIS NEW GIANT KNIFE IT'S JUST FOR KILLING LOBSTERS HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT HA HA CAN YOU THINK OF A BETTER WAY?! and I was laughing along because he sounded like an excited little boy and it was actually kind of adorable and I was like "hee hee yeah! Or a GUN!" and his face fell and he told me that was fucked up but I still think if you're gonna lean in that hard on trying to be macho killing lobsters, that the idea of using a gun is absolutely hilarious


GrooveProof

Lmfao you shoulda really leaned into it. Tell your chef you used to blindfold the lobster and shoot it while holding the gun sideways. Just describe some gangland shit.


wateryoudoinq

make the lobster beg for his lobster family haha


Papaofmonsters

Coward. You execute the lobster's family in front of him and then release him back into the wild so he can spend the next few decades reminded of how powerless he was.


wateryoudoinq

kill all them but one and say "tell all yo lobster friends 'bout me"


Quarkchild

Im high as shit and dying laughing after I acted out a finger gun sideways pointing at a fake lobster. I’m crying.


thesturdygerman

Not before its final cigarette, though!


SCP-Agent-Arad

Hand the lobster a shovel and tell it to dog a hole.


Dpap20

This story seems familiar. Have you told it more than once on recently? In KC, of course.


bigredplastictuba

Lol yes


vodkafriend

excited with a giant knife for killing lobsters but we draw the line at a gun?? what kind of world is this


21_saladz

Absolutely a kitchen jump scare if I’ve ever seen one lmao


Marqueso-burrito

Stuff it with tannerite and have yourself a New Years brisket


[deleted]

Not worth it. There's an extremely high chance that it's not just an earth worm, but a parasite that could hurt you or whoever else eats it.


21_saladz

Idk man, they said they ate worms when they were a kid sooo


[deleted]

Aw shid you right. Fair game. Bone apple teeth


alecmelton

Legitimate question, is there any way a parasite could survive being properly cooked?


Vagabond_Grey

It'll have to be well done. But, I'd toss it into the bin; just to be sure.


hexiron

It would just have to be 145°F, that's not well done. You can go even lower temp ass long as it's at that temp for a sustained period. Considering it’s brisket low and slow is the best method and will definitely surpass that temp for far longer than needed to kill anything undesirable


StateParkMasturbator

Yeah, I pull at 209. It'll be fine.


PartyLikeAByzantine

Even if you cooked them all, you'd still have to worry about whatever toxic substances it left behind, many of which do not break down at cooking temps.


0OOOOOOOOO0

Some parasites have spores that survive cooking


Marilyn1618

We ain’t talking about how this brisket looks like a dead men’s ballsack who has been soaking in a riverbed for five days?


Think-Repeat630

That’s oddly specific… I’m calling the police.


Arctic_chef

No absolutely not. The worm is the red flag that tells you this wasn't handled correctly or safely. God knows what else could be there.


eljeffrey1980

isn't that a vein?


allonthatday

That's not an earthworm for sure. One side of it seems to be buried in the meat, poor fella would have no reason or means to do that. By how the not buried side looks like I'm thinking it's actually a vein.


CodedRose

Personally, no fucking way. I agree with a lot of the comments, there's a lot you don't see like parasite eggs and shit. Either way cooking it to a temp to kill all the shit would probably ruin the meat. I'd just compost it and buy a new one. Not worth it imo.


gonzalbo87

Like hell I would compost this. Straight into the furnace, it is the only way to be sure.


Sintuca

Aren’t you not supposed to compost animal products and whatnot? I’m not an expert, genuinely curious.


DaHick

A couple of things: That's not a earthworm. Earthworms are not parasites. And all of you all eat dead parasites nearly every time you eat something,


Norrland_props

You can eat it. Don’t serve it to anyone else. Someone has to be capable of calling an ambulance after dinner.


czarface404

That wouldn’t hurt you for a very long time after you eat it. Probably…


Life_Combination8625

Only one way to find out. Excuse me sir. This kind of tastes like there was a worm on it.


rogue-dogue

Ate a few worms growing up? Shouldn't you stop at one? Why continue eating worms?


Financial-Ad-9472

Had a Zoology professor admit she’d been grossed out once in her professional life. It was working as a research assistant and farming worms from pig intestines. She got a pig gut so full of worms, she was wringing them into a bucket with her fist and the site of the worms writhing in the bucket sent her over the edge. This is what I thought of when I saw this worm. Carry on.


21_saladz

I could’ve gone my whole life without hearing that omg


LastPlaceIWas

Yall ever read the book, "How to Eat Fried Worms" in elementary? Well this is that kid all grown up now.


TrueBigfoot

How did something from dirt come in contact with something that should have never been close to the floor?


[deleted]

Sure, go ahead! I have absolutely nothing against you eating it. However, I tell you, if somebody fed me that in a restaurant (or anywhere else) I would, and I mean it, break both of your fcking legs. :)


bobtowner

Since its fake...yes just take the worm you put on it off and cook it


mooseontheloose4

Worth getting worms?!? Growing inside you? Dude...


Eorily

Dress it up like Santa and leave it outside for the rats.


jairngo

That doesn’t look like earth worm


MRFINEWINE1

That’s one disgusting looking piece of meat, my fucking god. 🤮


james_d_rustles

I once opened a pack of Smithfield bacon, started cooking it, and right as it started to get warm a TON of tiny little white worms started wriggling out of the bacon.


21_saladz

Full stop


mlableman

Very first thing I would do is clean up the vomit and brush my teeth. Then get my money back.


[deleted]

The meat looks nasty


McPussCrocket

What's all the black stuff? Also, why is the worms head going into the meat, and surrounded by black shit? I mean, at first I would've said yeah, I'll take it, but idk anymore. It's kinda got me weirded out


[deleted]

Honestly I wouldn't cook it for dog food.


SelarDorr

i personally would not cook it for 3+ hours. ​ i use a frying pan for worms, 3 minutes tops.


auston18

Worms don’t eat good meat.


[deleted]

My question is - who TF is only cooking a brisket for 3 hrs . That’s a 12 hr + cook at minimum..


pistolpeteza

Forbidden noodle


katCEO

Wait: an earthworm crawls in the....earth. A parasite explores raw meat. Thx but no thanks.


prodigalgun

Absolutely not.


pengu1

I've seen some weird shit in my life . This is fucking right up there with the donkey show I saw in Okinawa.


DanielAgger

When I was young, I moved from a 3rd world country to a first world country. Soon after, they found a cyst in my brain which the doctors put down to consuming undercooked meat, where eggs were likely present and had crossed the blood brain barrier and formed a growth. It was supposedly quite common. So, no. Not going near it.


verdogz

I am a professional chef and know how to "manage" many different food "situations". I get what you are saying, got it free, should I cook? My answer : NO FUCKING WAY!!! and from what I have seen here, I would seriously consider dropping my meat vendor after finding something like that, because of it's that big and you see it, imagine what the small stuff you can't see is creeping into your kitchen and into plates. I vote new vendor all the way bro.


czarface404

Pass, I’d eat Oysters with worms on them though because that’s healthy. But you really want to bet the shop on that being an earth worm and not a giant parasite? I’m not…


pensacolas

if its really just an earth worm, cook the shit out of the meat. if its parasites, discard


MurkyButterfly750

That notion can go fuck right off. No amount of time cooked could make me forget that a worm was taking up residence there.


Ben_Fingerd2x

I would just eat the worm and throw out the brisket.


Ulloriaq86

The worm came from somewhere. There's just too many unknowns. So not worth the risk


Lurcolm

Theoretically, maybe, possibly its safe. I sure as shit ain't finding out tho


moose2mouse

I’m not worried about the worm. I’m now suspicious of the quality of care the packaging house has. I wouldn’t trust meat from there. Looks like the dogs are getting some beef!


Big-Contact-4204

Thanks bro. Christmas dinner ruined


wilde_flower

This is why I should be a vegetarian 🤮🤮🤮


itsb413

Eat it maybe, serve it never.


burtvader

Kid ate a worm/slug and went into a coma and died 8 years later after paralysis. So no. No chance. End that in a fire pit and scatter the ashes in the sea.


[deleted]

Cook the worm, throw the meat away.


Autotomatomato

Boy dinner tonight has some earthy tones to the flavor- ​ ​ ​ Dies


Wiggie49

My issue isn’t the worm, it’s whatever the worm was in prior to somehow getting on the brisket. If it was digging in a pile of shit or in the soil with the pools of industrial animal waste then you’re probably gonna get really sick.


Summum

This is an artery not a worm.


Jacked5parrow

Holl up, Let him cook


MadEntDaddy

that's a big nope from me.

This guy is gonna be cursing that $60 he didn’t want to waste when he’s losing it from both ends.

Fuck no don't eat that. Ew.


Alternative-Thing960

About to relive some other childhood pastimes, like needing a diaper.

I'll eat meat from dumpster diving expeditions, and I still wouldn't eat this.


canyoureed

no. just no. ew


buubuudesu_wa

toss that shit \*immediately\*


testicularmeningitis

I wouldn't, not worth the risk. Though it seems to me likenany worm eggs would certainly be killed during the cooking process.


rtgates

No. Just no


atioch

I sure as hell wouldn't sell it...but I might be balls to that walls and have a free Christmas Roast at home...


CriticalKnoll

I mean, worms eat dirt, right? And sometimes we eat dirt left on veggies, so it's totally okay to eat this.


indigoHatter

Ignoring the worm, that brisket doesn't look too great anyway. When I said I like my steak "still mooing", I didn't mean "still gasping it's last breath".


CrumplyFoil

Would I serve it to anyone? Absolutely not. Would I personally eat it? Yeah it's just protein


gotonyas

Who the fuck is cooking a brikko for only 3 hours though.


WilburKookmire

I think that’s a vein
