We had a throw together dinner last night as we had unexpected visitors and by the time they left it was far too late to cook. Our dinner consisted of a can of vegetable soup and some toast. Whilst eating my soup, I found a piece of plastic in it! (I'm never eating canned soup again)
This isn't the first time I've found a foreign object in my food...
I found two cotton tips in a carton of milk and a really long strand of hair in a commercially baked custard tart. Eww...
So I'm wondering... what have you found in your food?
This wasn't me it was my brother and SIL. At christmas they got some chocolates from my mum (Whitmans), they were in a box and had a plastic seal on them. So they opened them and my brother took a bit of one and found a half a moth in it, so spat it out and he had the other half in his mouth (eewwww). He threw it in the bin and my SIL went to grab one and she found LIVE maggots in the rest of them , they rang me and I told them to ring Whitmans and then put the rest of the chocs in the freezer, they never could get through to them so ended up just tossing the box.
ewwww!
my brother once found fingernails in his coleslaw from kfc, all he got was a voucher for a family meal deal!
while eating at fasta pasta my dp crunched down on something hard, was a piece of metal! looked like the dangly hanging bit at the end of the saucepan that they use to hang it up with, we got a free coke and free meals, when I was a lot younger my family went to hungry jacks for dinner (was a huuuge deal, not something we did, EVER!) and I aws so disappointed cos my burger had a pice of foam in it!
also my aunty once bought a box of amway washing powder (not food I know) but there was a dead funnel web spider in it, in a big funnel web!
I found a metal shard in a Herbert Addams Spinach and Cheese roll once. I called them and they sent me out a gift card with a stack of promo stuff. They were supposed to send a 'kit' to send it back to htem for testing but htey didn't. I threw it out after it was sitting on the window sill for a few mths.
I had maggots in my Yo-Go dessert once as a kid.... turned me off them for life
I once bit into a piece of Domino's pizza and bit into something hard. It was like a piece of bichemon (sp?) (road surface!).... hurt my tooth real bad too... we took it back and showed them and they gave us a voucher for a free pizza... wow geez thanks. (not!!)
How does road surface get into pizza? We could only assume it had been dropped on the road?!?! we couldnt work out what it was.
And as a young kid... Mum found a piece of white bread in the loaf that had what looked like rat poo in it!!! or possibly grease from the machine!!! we couldnt work that one out either
The list of things I have found over my lifetime in food is LONG, ink pad, wood, gravel, hair, band-aid, insects and so on. It seems to happen to me alot - but I think stuff must be in more peoples foods, they just dont pay enough attention to what they are eating.
Anyway, I am still feeling ill at what I found in my chicken pie last night - I will be throwing the rest of the box out and not buying frozen chicken pies again! ...what was it? ...well I`m pretty certain someone in the production line for frozen pies is missing a chunk of finger, and I dont think this is the first time human flesh has been in my food either - I stopped buying pizza shop pizza a few years back after someone grated more than just cheese and didnt seem to notice or care when they then sprinkled it on my order.
When my mother and I were on a coach tour in Europe, our group was "treated" to a meal at an Italian restaurant to make up for some shabby rooms that we'd been asked to stay in. Anyway, all of a sudden one of the fellows in the tour group stood up with his wife and left the restaurant and they were followed by everyone at their table. Turned out the man had bitten into a piece of chewing gum that had been in his salad...
And my brother, when he was in Year 7 and doing cooking at school, made some rissole and rice dish but had dropped it, scooped everything up and put it into another container and didn't tell us. Twigged when we found some shards of glass...
Many years ago my Dad had bought some DON kabana/salami and find a knife blade in the middle- he rang them up and they came out right away with a huge basket of DONS goods for us!
My aunt once had a thumb tack in her peas! It was gross.
We used to go out to our local RSL once a week for dinner when DH & I were both working... one night my DD got bits of metal scourer in her pasta. They refunded her meal and we then got a dessert which was mouldy!
1/2 a Fly in the cream of my Apple Turnover I bought from a "chain bakery store" after I have eaten the first half (had cut it through the middle and didn't realise it was there until I went to eat the other half....
Oh, yucko!!! This is all very disturbing. A great read though.
I remembered once when I was pregnant, I bought two meat pies from the local deli... one for me, one for DH. I'd eaten mine and gone home when my phone rings. DH tells me that he'd gone to eat his and found teeth marks from a mouse or rat and had taken it back and I should check mine before I eat it... too late!!!
omg omg omg! I can't believe some of these things!!!
I bit into a chicken nugget once and it had a big piece of red plastic in there. I sent it to the company who sent me a $5 coles voucher, and they got back to me saying there is no way it was in there as there is nothing that it is red and plastic in their factory!!
Strange things you've found in food!
