Dead moth in my Easyway drink

From http://www.tams.act.gov.au/play/pcl/heritage/aboriginal_heritage_in_the_act/bogong_moth_story

Bogong Moths were an important source of protein for Aboriginal people [within and around Canberra]. Some say the moths were roasted in hot ashes to burn off the wings and legs, then mashed into a ‘moth meat’ which had a nutty walnut taste.

LMAO @waitingforGodot

Diner: What is this moth doing in my drink?
Waiter: The backstroke, sir

Yeah, I know it’s an old joke but I couldn’t resist.

very poetic.

and the hapless thing is clearly the party overflow, so patently part of any good-time beverage. poor everyone else who missed out. at least you didn’t choke on the toppings – phew!

bogongs are actually quite tasty; de-wing them and saute them in a bit of butter. mmmmm…

Keep quiet or everyone will want one

+1 The winning witty comment on this otherwise useless thread.

Agree with another poster, the person should have just gone back to EasyWay rather than posting on the interwebs. And why drag poor Macquarie Discount Pharmacy into this??

They’re a good source of protein. I’d only worry if I thought it had been sprayed with bug spray – dreadful stuff.

I hope you told the shop first so they could check their other cups?

Also a great source of calcium – maggies need a high calcium diet, thats why they eat insects such as these and many others.

wont hurt you – you could have taken it back. im sure they would have given you another drink and been appologetic, rather than you just putting s*** on them using a internet forum.
