And speaking of farts….
Made spaghetti & meatballs last night. Sampled the sauce all afternoon as it cooked. Woke with what can only be described as death dealing hell farts. The acid in the sauce gave them an acridity you usually don’t experience, and the meatballs were- well, freaky. I hit the john before five, and am happy to have made it in time.

Sounds more like you actually had a mild case of food poisoning. Like maybe there were bacteria in the sauce that you are before the cooking heat killed them. They then fermented stuff in your innards to produce the symptoms you described.
it was an unopened can of new sauce. And it oilcanned when I opened it. Still, I’m hardly ever surprised by anything. And I might have enough bad bacteria already LIVING in my colon.
Dude, send some of that to Acidman. He needs to blow some doors down.
It’s the garlic, man.
I eat anything with the Stinking Rose in it, you can bank on there being a Stench-Fest afterwards. You can practically set your watch by it – it starts kicking in before the meal is over.
Of course, it could be that you are Naturally Fart-er-iffic.
That couldn’t have been pleasant. I hope you are better and remembered to open up some windows.
I usually peel a potato, put in the sauce, and let it simmer. An Italian buddy of mine recommended this to cut some of the acidity.
If you used crushed tomatoes, the seeds are acidic. You can get peeled, whole tomatoes, thumb the seeds out and rinse.
I hope you haven’t developed food intolerance for tomato products.
Intolerance? no. The garlic makes me fart. Other people might not like it, but farting is fine by me.
What you described is why my wife doesn’t allow me to eat deviled eggs, brats with saurkraut and onions, drink beer and eat fried chicken on the same day.
I fired up ye olde grill tuesday evening charred some Johnsonville Brats and heated some canned chili for a topper. The wife has informed me that brats and chili will no longer be prepared if she has to work the next day!
