"Suprises" in your food!!

[Leigh]

i work in a simple little sandwich bar, near to a sumo salad, and i have customers come to me saying they've found giants dead moths and roaches in their sumo salads, and they prefer ours.
would it kill sumo to wash their lettuce?? we manage.

There used to be a shop in the shire that everyone called "cockroach corner" for obvious reasons.
They had a glass display case thing that every take away has at the front and before it closed down you should have seen the amount of cockroaches living in that thing!! I saw them lift the tray and it had heaps of those little German cockroaches in there!! Walked straight out.
I know a guy that also saw a rat in the shop :shock:
He walked into there one day and said:
"Do you sell everything in the window?"
Reply: "Yes of course!!"
"Well can i have $2 worth of the moths and cockroaches!!"

I used to buy those Caesar Salads from Coles every day for lunch, I haven't been able to stomach them since after eating almost all of one I found a slug on the last piece of lettuce.

A mate at school once found a band-aid baked into his roll, while having a "Pie on a Roll" we wanted him to take it back and demand we all get free "Pies on a Roll" he just threw it in the bin.

Its not in my food but this week i have been walking along and had two bugs fly into my mouth and hit the back of my throat. not much i could do except gulp it down

eww so gross...

 

[AnteUp]

Cockroaches, band-aids, rubber bands, plastic packaging and many more. Oh the joys of on-campus dining halls.

Some guy once drank the water my rats were defrosting in, that was pretty funny. He didn't think so.

i had a milkshake once and my 'surprise' was a crunchy huntsman spiders leg :lol: i found the rest of the spider in bits after i went through my drink to see what else could be in there! (surprisingly, it didnt taste to bad either!) hehe

That ain't funny. That is just disgusting. I would have screamed the building down. Spiders and I don't mix.

 

[mysnakesau]

that all so gross.
i found an old bit of cake in the cupboard (WELL A WEEK OLD) and i was starving. just grabbed it and chuked it in my mouth. i felt this sensation and spat it out and there was a tonne of ants and eggs.

Eewwwww, grose us out........yuck

 

[Sidonia]

AHAHAHAHA oh that's disgusting.
Ants stink, imagine the taste *shudder*

I've worked in restaurants for years and I can't believe how p!ssed off some people get about a little snail or bug on their lettuce. I mean where do they think that lettuce grows? In a hermetically sealed cabinet??? Vegetables grow OUTSIDE, people, in the elements of rain, dirt, wind etc. They are bound to get a few bugs on them. The suppliers usually sell restaurants "washed lettuce" and restaurants often wash them again. There still isn't a 100% guarantee you won't get he odd 'protein bonus' with your salad. Console yourself with the fact that if you have a live bug on your salad, it means that your vegetables probably haven't been exposed to toxic pesticides.


Now cockroaches and mice are a different matter. They are the product of an unclean, unhygenic kitchen...

Yuck yuck yuck! That is so gross.

A friend once found a band-aid in a bun she'd bought from the baker's. :shock:

i once bought a chicken and salad roll from the shop at work, i sat down tore off a huge mouthfull and quickly chewed and swallowed it. it tasted odd, so i opened it up and the chicken was completely raw, not even cooked on the outside.

this was shortly after studying the existence of antibiotic resistant E. coli and Salmonella in farmed chicken at uni. i felt quite sick.
had the same thing happen with a chicken and vege pie.

i work in the kitchen at a resturant, and we usually dont wash the lettuce as it goes really gross looking and soggy, and the customers complain. But what they dont see is the bugs we pull out although i still eat there

I used to work at Red Rooster, and every morning we'd get a delivery of raw whole chickens from the poultry suppliers. They'd be stuffed and seasoned, then roasted in the ovens.

One day my manager dropped a couple of raw, unseasoned chickens onto the (dirty) cold room floor. She then proceeded to pick them up, rinse them off under the tap and season them as usual :|

When i was younger we used to visit my grannys house every weekend & have a salad on sunny days, most of which was grown in her garden, one day after picking/washing the lettuce & sitting down to eat... i noticed a huge green caterpillar walking round the edge of my plate !! :shock: (better than finding half of one i guess!!)
And i remember a teacher telling me about a loaf of bread he bought in a local bakers which had a mouse in it !! i guess you only find out when youve eaten half the loaf !!

Yummy food for everyone!!

 

[jimbo]

A garden skink in stir fry..have no idea how that got in there??(didnt eat it though) And a wasp in a cake..i also dont know how that got in there but that tasted quite odd lol.

I found a cockroach in some fried rice from a chinese takeaway -wasn't hungry anymore

I have also learnt never to lick the yoghurt lid without looking - green mould (I'd only just bought it) & then threw up the rest of the day :?

my dad once had the pleasure of finding a fake fingernail in his hash brown

also hairs in food are quite common & totally gross

moreliaman: that mouse in the bread bit is disgusting - I've only ever found their poo in bread

 

[lazybuddha]

oh yea, i forgot the reason i dont eat eggs. i found a half formed chick in an egg i was making, cracked it open into the pan and this black chick came out. grossest thing ever

 

[Moreliaman]

also hairs in food are quite common & totally gross

Not thick & curly ones i hope !!
:lol:

This thread makes me never want to eat food ever again >_<
