A scary but very effective way to clean SAKs.
on: March 31, 2024, 01:31:52 PM
In the company where I work, we breed various bristleworms for novel food products.

Recently, while doing repair work, my farmer fell into a breeding tank. I didn't miss the knife until the next day and when I found it I noticed that it was sparkling clean. These little animals have bristles everywhere and crawl into the smallest crevices, even between the closed tools, so they really cleaned my knife! Amazing, isn't it?

This is something out of a MacGyver themedhorror movie.

Food for fish or something, right? Or is this on the menu once the apocalypse occurs?

This looks freaky but I guess I wouldn’t mind having a tank of my own personal SAK cleaners.

That is both terrifying and fascinating at the same time!

I don't have an issue with using bristleworms to clean my knives.

As I currently don't have any I guess my toothbrush and Q tips will have to do.

 Vegetarianism is starting to sound pretty good!

Good thing those worms don’t eat SAKs.

... Food for fish or something, right? ...

Nope, fish food is not profitable enough. We are working on a replacement for ground meat and also a component of sausage masses etc.

Here are the rough processing steps from left to right:
Young bristleworms - After the meat grinder - plus mushroom fibers, starch, natural flavor and coloring - on the far right our raw ground meat alternative.



The result is surprisingly good - probably much cheaper and more resource-efficient than beef. The challenge is the development of large, automated breeding and processing lines as well as consumer prejudices.

But, for example, the lice extract (E120, C.I. 75470) in countless foods, lipstick, etc. is not a big deal in the minds of consumers.

I assume you've never been tempted to fill your mouth with these after lunch to clean your teeth.

Cool! If you can feed those bristleworms with SAK residue, you could even establish a "SAK cleaning" side business and earn money while other people provide you with food for the worms. Win-win! :rofl:

No, I didn't have that idea yet. I think I'll stick with my sonic toothbrush.

I feel like I read an article once about using insects to clean fragile archeological artifacts. I can't find it now, so maybe it was just a weird scene in a movie or something.

I'd try a bug burger. Not sure if I'd like it, but can it really be any grosser than the chicken slime McDonald's uses to make nuggets?  :drool:

Good question! I thought the same way. Unlikely to find me in a place like McDonalds.

Once I ordered a cheese burger at a McD drive near the highway. On the highway I found out they'd forgotten the cheese plus the sauce. "Oh well, I thought by myself", "it's still a hambuger, so let's eat it!".
WARNING: Do NOT eat cheese- and sauceless cheese burgers! It allmost made me puke. What a terrible taste! I threw it away and spit out the piece I was chewing on.

This is something out of a MacGyver themedhorror movie.
It’s the sequel to that MacGyver episode with the killer ants in the Amazon jungle.

No sarcasm or anything coming from me. I think the  bug burger is neat.

But now I’m confused is the  bristle worm SAK cleaning or the burgers an April fools?  I’m a bit slow on the uptake.

Okay, okay, it's true! I'll get back to you when we have approval from the food authority  ;) :D

Well, my SAK once fell into an aquarium and a bristleworm crawled between the tools. Everything else is fictitious. Bristleworms live in salt water, not the best idea to put your SAK in there and they are poisonous, you probably wouldn't chew on them for long.

Big fat juicy ones
Long thin slimey ones
Ooey gooey worms!

I've been trending vegetarian the last few years and that video may have pushed me over the edge!

Exactly!  :D

I love vegetarian foods, but I sometimes like to complement them with a good piece of meat.
NO bristle worms! I once had fried giant locusts (not too bad).
Eating boiled, limp mopane caterpillars pushed me to my limit
and I couldn't manage casu marzu (sheep's cheese with live maggots), which still gives me anxiety attacks when I think about it today.
I like to try foreign, unknown foods but I always come back to traditional Swiss and mediterranean cuisine, that's what I like best.
