Weevils in flour

[parakitaMol.]

Once, my sister and I were staying at my Mum's - a smallholding in Devon with a walk-in stone larder.


My sister made a cake... she was quite enjoying the cake mixture till she realised it was actually moving....with flour weevils... just like fleas, they are.


But are they safe to eat or will you die?

Thanks

Small, just like swimming fleas.... or space dust.

Mother was a 'war baby' - sell by dates were ignored... apparently it toughens you up.

Biggest question I have is how to differentiate on a moral level between the weevil I found in the white flour, and that I found in the wholemeal flour.

The wholemeal weevil certainly seems more suited to life, being smaller in length, and slightly slimmer. Altogether less developed, but slightly fitter, whereas the white flour weevil seems slightly depressed, but definitely bulkier.

So, faced with a choice, which weevil should I select?

Racist.
