Lunch yesterday was fried fish, rice, and a vegetable that we had not eaten before. It looked like this:
It was cooked by she who must be obeyed, and it was delicious; so much so that I finished off the plate of veggie after she declared herself full.
About six hours later I felt the need for a poo. Quite a strong need, but nothing that indicated that anything was amiss. Settled on the toilet with my iPad, as you do, and prepared to offer a few more turds to the septic tank.
What happened next was quite a surprise. There was none of the pain and discomfort that you might experience with a bout of food poisoning, and none of the pong; but what was visited upon my toilet bowl was a constant stream of hot liquid with the consistency of a cup of Starbucks but with only some of the flavour (I assume). This continued for a couple of minutes and then it was over. Other than the fact that I had not given the news on my iPad the attention I had intended, I felt fine.
There was some discussion as what I had eaten that my wife hadn’t eaten; and then she rushed off for a similar experience and we realised we had a common enemy. She did some research and discovered that the liquid shit initiator had been this:
The new and exciting veggie was equipped with a trailing stalk which should be removed before eating; otherwise tummy explosions will result.
She who must be apologised for “poisoning” us, but at least we now know of an excellent, immediate cure for constipation.
