I have just taken three hours to make a home-made chili using dried, mixed beans (fava, garbanzo, chick peas, pinto, and kidney). May sound good to you but when I was putting in the chili powder and stirring it around, I noticed white thin, short (maybe 1/4" long) "things" in my chili. I can't tell if it's part of the beans or if my beans had worms hiding in them (they were pretty old (3 years) although stored in an airtight ziplock in my cabinet). At this point I'm ready to hurl, thinking that I've been taste testing this darn chili for the past hour.
The 'whatever it is' doesn't seem to have eyes. When I pick one out and look at it I can't tell what it is... When I smashed it, it smashed like one of the white beans, but I can't be sure. I don't think I want to hand over the chili to my husband (who has been at work all day
Anybody have any advice or have any idea if there could have been worms hiding in the beans themselves?
Thanks!
signed.... too freaked out to eat
