Try me now, I'll try anything

Things I learned last night: do not, on any account, attempt to make fresh breadcrumbs in a motor-driven meat grinder.

No good will come of it.

Compressible I can believe, but I'm really quite surprised the resulting compressed substance didn't subsequently get ground up and come out of the end. Bread has so many scary properties I'm beginning to wonder if it's really a good idea to eat it! (The one that always gets me is how small particles of dough or damp flour can turn into a stone-like substance if left to dry.)

I have heard that almost all of the people in prison for murder have eaten bread in the months before committing crimes. Ban it! Ban it!

Me too!

The mincer comes with three different screens, with tiny holes, middley holes and large holes. I used the middle one, which may have been a poor choice - but I'm a bit reluctant to experiment with the large one, now!

Does your list of scary properties include the ability to effectively strain the red dye out of WWII military-issue petrol to turn it into colourless black market fuel?

If not, add another item to the list - even the historians on the Wartime Farm (or whatever it was called) TV programme (same folks as Victorian Farm etc) couldn't believe their eyes when they tried it...

Alledgedly, one could also strain WWII-era Brasso through bread to extract drinkable[*] alcohol as well. I have never tried this :)

[*] Though, presumably, not palatable.

Wow! I wonder if that works on modern red diesel too?

Someone on the internet thinks it does (http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080220113150AAuB4u9) (but considerably more people in that thread think it does not ;)
