Yeah I know :o)
I honestly don't know where this poisoning myself thing comes from. I used to eat apples whole too - although I'd never crush the pips, too bitter. When I was a kid I used to eat all kinds of things that I somehow knew where 'safe' -like Hawthorn leaves (!), elderberries (which are actually poisonous when raw apparently - goes to show doesn't it?) sweet peas, rose petals, these little funny plants at the bottom of our garden......even when we were roughing it out and camping rough and hiking in Iceland, we were so hungry once we pulled up some roots of an unknown plant and started eating them..... look how I've changed! I think I used to even eat the soft pips in apricots and peaches, I remember distinctly splitting the stone open and thinking how nice the inside seed was. I used to even shallow plum stones whole. Man, I certainly have changed alot!!!!! Sigh.
