Oh, do tell. So you had green eggs, green ham, and neither were the result of food coloring? You're still alive?

You can't NOT tell.

Oh okay...remember you asked…

I used to serve in the US Submarine Service. Mind you subs can’t get fresh supplies at sea, so once milk, eggs, fresh fruit, veggies, etc are gone, that is it. So after 2-4 weeks at sea you tend to get to the very last of the items that were once fresh. Since we store the eggs in the bilge which is somewhat cool, eggs make it close to 4 weeks. When I say close, it’s all relative and perspective…with no other eggs headed your way for another 5-6 weeks, even old eggs sound good. So by week 4, eggs and old ham tend to take on a rather ominous green sheen. If you cook them long enough and cover it all in Tabasco, they go down fine. Since we have been eating eggs and other items over time as they get old, we seem to build up a tolerance to whatever bacteria colony they are growing. Wished I had pictures, it was truly a sight to see when the Navy cook slaps it on the plate and shoves it at you!

Oh wow! Thanks for the story, and thank you for your service!

I forget how spoiled we are. Not like green spoiled.

yes, but it stole it from the craft area rather than an unsuspecting canary. real actually caught birdy feathers tend to be black and they eat them rather than spit them out. little gits.

Have you ever seen a burglar wearing and black and white horizontally striped jersey and a black eye mask carrying a bag of swag?

I've seen a French girl exclaim "Ooh la la" in surprise, though while this tale involves lubricant, an open window and being sprayed in the face, it is not actually the least bit saucy.

My chickens lay green (and blue and brown and tan and white) eggs.




But green ham? Thanks, I'll pass!

No, but I have eaten eggs and green ham.

A green ham is one that has been cured but not smoked.
