Need Vitamin D? Try Mushrooms

[farouk]

K: I see why Medieval kings would employ an official taster to taste the food they were about to eat, in case it had been poisoned...

Which may, or may not, be a cushy job. It would just depend on how merciful and benevolent the King/Queen is. If they are not generally liked I would think the position of Taster would be rather hard to fill, at least voluntarily.

K: Would it have come with death in service benefits, for example? (and if necessary with a refund of AARP subscription fees, too?)

Remove a lot of the toxins***

Autocorrect doesn't always work so well!

Kaileymarie:

Not even all toadstools are toxic, are they?

(But bearing in mind that those that are indeed toxic, are very toxic; the trick is to tell the difference...)

Blessings.

Very true.

Some are toxic enough to kill. Some are only toxic enough to make a person hallucinate!

Oh, I wouldn't know anything about that!

I think the easiest way to tell is to give one to someone you don't like, if they start getting sick, then that would be a bad one.

You, my friend, are delightfully wicked. However, as your enemy keels over, you can be assured you did right by giving them their vitamin D! :toofunny

I wouldn't exactly let them die. I would be merciful and get them medical attention. I am a nice guy that way.
