Yes, I am noticing a metallic taste in different food and drink items too. Who knows what they are using as preservatives now. I just stop buying those brands and then have to go trying other brands to see if they are any better; usually not.

I try not to eat chocolate much these days, but as I am saying that the Universe is laughing at me, because I had a chocolate bunny for Easter and a cupcake today at work someone baked.  I really enjoy Lindt.

Carpy, I fancy some smoked kippers or mackerel for tomorrow's breakfast.

Preferably, peppered. You have in stock, mate?

No marmalade, please; my name ain't Winnie the bloody Pooh!

Another tidbit of information I picked up during my toxic food searches.

"King mackerel is considered toxic due to its high mercury content, particularly methylmercury, which is a neurotoxic compound. This makes it a fish that should be avoided by pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to minimize the risk of mercury poisoning. While some mackerel, like Atlantic mackerel, are lower in mercury and can be part of a healthy diet, king mackerel's high mercury levels require caution."

Be careful out there in the grocery store.

Bloody wonderful! Luckily, I'm none of the above. 

I got enough mercury in me already that I haven't bought a thermometer in 30+ years. 

@Oldcarpy2, mate, you got a room in the back of the cafe where I can eat my damn kippers in peace?

:cheers:

The younger the fish the less mercury, just saying.

Hey Carpy, that air fryer releases a lot of chemicals and plastics into the food while cooking, so keep it in the box and return it, m'kay?

I catch a lot of mackerel and sea bass, on flies and lures. But I do catch and release. A two pound mackerel on a fly rod will give a bonefish a run for it's money.

Sorry, sea bass was also on the list as having a high mercury load.

Will we have to go foraging in the wild for non-toxic food like Polk Salad Annie?
