Was this Biology A level? (out of interest)


A-level to blame, @Cleoriff, but no: my BTEC HND was where we got into it a lot. I loved the specialist bits - Parasitology and Microbiology - probably the reason I don't order steak pie and chips or whelks or mussels at the seaside... 😖


Good idea @pgn, although I wouldn't eat mussels, whelks or cockles anywhere nauseated_face

With you on the "anywhere" bit for whelks and the like. 🤮

The meat pie, an eye-opener for sure - cultures on agar were most colourful!

This was a Student Canteen (chip-shop) special, probably one that had been under those heat lamps for a few hours... Mind you, heaven knows what the freight delays since the new year are doing to the Pukka ones 😳
