Vegetarian student gets own back by cooking and eating piranha that chomped her finger

[MADem]

Veggie Lauren Treacy got her own back on a piranha that nearly bit her ­finger off – by putting aside her diet rules and eating it.

Student Lauren, 20, caught the razor-toothed creature while fishing at Lake Titicaca on the Peru-Bolivia border.

She said: “I caught about 10 small fish and kept throwing them back before I landed the big one. I didn’t realise what it was at first and in my excitement I went to get hold of it and it just bit me.”
