Hey, what's the worst that could happen? Okay, forget that. Who wants to live forever? >>>
I've exchanged preserves in the past with several folks from, first Epi and now, FK. Judy springs to mind right off the bat. Then there was Hugh, Bonnie, Joe and several others.
Nobody knew me then and to the best of my knowledge, nobody was poisoned so, there you have it. Personally, anything suspect, I'd feed to a neighbor child first and if he's still walking around after an hour, I figure the stuff would be fit t'eat. As they say, "no guts, no glory". ;>D
