    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!!!
