Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

About a year ago, my grandpa experienced wondrous symptoms. So he went to the hospital. The doctor wasn't sure what was wrong with him at first, so he had to stay for multiple days. After much discussing about possible causes, it turns out he'd eaten a piece of some random game that another family member brought along, and that he'd let thaw and then had refrozen it. That allowed the doctors to treat him successfully on, I believe, day 3.
After leaving the hospital, he still wasn't sure of the cause though — and you can't just throw away perfectly good meat!; so he ate another piece of the defrosted game and, no surprise, went to hospital again. This time around, the diagnosis was a lot easier though.
?
In context I now know you mean game as in hunted game, I was wondering why your grandpa was melting and eating Monopoly pieces
I read this thinking a piece of game meant like a board game piece for the whole thing and was so baffled 😅 finally got it
I'm sure it was a GBA cartridge.
All this because I don't know at all what kind of animal it was.
TWICE?!?!
You can't eat bad meat all at once, it's lethal.
For context: This is Germany, A&E is ~free.
Reminds me of the bad krabby patty from SpongeBob.
