But didn't they used to make red food colouring from an insect - a cochineal or something?

LOL, you just dont know WHAT is in your food, and maybe its best NOT to know........

a few years ago one of my workmates, being Italian, made his own wine from grapes specially imported for the purpose, excellent stuff...... but seeing him doing a pressing in his shed,LOL was amazed at the amount of insects attracted by the aroma of the grapes....wonder how many of those contributed to the finished product?

LOL
