Pictures for evidence and email the company demanding compensation.

I found a toe nail in a slice of bread once and an olive in a salad.

The olive disgusted me more, ugh.

I was going to tell about the big dirty long blonde hair I got in my sausage and egg mcmuffen but when I seen your pic mine isn't worth mentioning.
I once got a fly in a bag on rancheros once

I found a pubic hair in my ginger nut biscuits and all I got was a lousy 20 euro voucher after intense trauma and disgust has permeated my entire being.

Was just settling down to an evening of beer and pistachios.

Pistachios gone in bin!

Atlantic Dawn

At least it's a full worm and not half of one

Busted Flat.

Smell of petrol and melted plastic on soda bread very sick after eating it, didn't notice it due to garlic butter spread I was eating at the time. Going on now for the last month, won't mention the name of the supermarket. Hoping for a reasonable solution.

Half a worm in an apple...genuinely.

On two occasions found an Earwig as part of a Wheetabix.
Don't eat them anymore.

Found a kind of an spidery ant thing in my salad in a restaurant in Cork.
I was almost finished when I spotted it.
I did mention to the waitress but it didn't really bother me.
It probably would have if I had just started.

Menas

Found pieces of plastic in the work canteen stew once. They gave me a rake of vouchers to keep it hush.
I am like a poor mans John Delaney!

Ruu

Lump of salt the size of a golf ball in a packet of crisps a few years ago. A few boxes of crisps delivered as compensation.

But if they are a snack company you might get other snack stuff instead. It's worth following it up.

im pretty sure they only do nuts.. the OH is going to bring it back so it will be interesting to see what happens..
gonna take more than pistachios to worm there way back into my good books.

Copper wire in popular brand pasta sauce
Bit of gravel in supermarket brand stoneground bread which chipped my tooth
Dead mosquito in chinese restaurant meal
Tiny pieces of gravel in quinoa from various sources

They can't check every nut in fairness. Like fruit you check it before eating.

_Whimsical_

Cooked a head of broccoli and as I put it on the plate it fell apart to reveal several slugs nestled inside, their bodies white from the boiling they had just received.
It was a year before I could bear the sight of broccoli again.

On the plus side I can confirm that Tesco organic broccoli is indeed organic.

How could you tell?

I was served a Caesar Salad complete with slug. He'd horns and everything. They tried to insinuate that I'd put him in there myself so I just put the health inspector onto them and complained to the management. Didn't even get a voucher, not that I'd have gone back. It was in Oxford and the place has since closed.

^^Extra protein!

Found a beatle in some pasta sauce once.

Considered eating him, but lost my nerve in the end. (was such a whimp back then!) :pac:

I bought a pizza in a local chippy and i would say there was more hair on it compared to pepperoni .It was the last time I went there.

Cienciano

Got a piece of glass in a spring roll from the local chinese.
Outside Ireland I got some dodgy stuff, a pastie with a nest of flys living in it was probably the worst. Mate noticed his ketchup was moving slightly (dish of ketchup on the table) and it was infested with some sort of maggots/grubs.

Got a caterpillar (live !) in a salad once ! Got a voucher and the meal for free, so it wasn't a bad deal. If you had a jar of caterpillars you could eat for free the rest of your life !.

There was the time I found a horse in my lasagne. Neigh way was I going to eat it.

Food poisoning from a tin of Mackeral Fillets a few weeks ago.
Closest I've come to death,four or five days to recover.

Had a live Caterpillar too in a salad, he was cute and got me a free sandwich, they said "At Least you know the salad is fresh", seen metal shavings in rice too.

Maybe the slugs name was Caesar!

I was served bloody chicken in a restaurant while on holiday when I was 12 and also in a fast food place when I was older.
I ate it when I was in the restaurant. Knew it was a bad idea but didn't want to cause a fuss. (I was accompanied by someone prone to overreaction.)
I was very very sick. The notion of dying started to seem more attractive than further puking.

Oh god, I can imagine! Yuck.

Ooon the topic of chickens, I was quite often preparing whole chickens for cooking in the rotisserie in a delicatessen a few years ago, and the things you'd find in them.

- A whole clawed chicken foot, which I can only imagine was some eejit shoving it into the body cavity to freak out someone down the line...and then losing track of it. And then hoping for the best.

- A whole joyous party of mealworms swanning around. Well, they weren't doing much swanning after being in a fridge for a few days, but they were still in there.

- One large worm.

- A very, very full and bursting cloaca (this happened a few times). Ick!

- Uncountable full stomachs and other bits of innard that should have been removed.

Fecking mushrooms in my Kung Po!

If Bear Grylls found that in a pistachio he'd be delighted!

A few odd ones;

A maggot in a bag of Wheelies. I'd eaten the whole bag and I found it in the crumbs at the bottom
Loads of gritty stuff in a jar of beetroot, sent off a sample to them and apparently it was soil.
Broken glass in a drink at a bar, I thought it was ice and was wondering why it wasn't melting in my mouth. Got a free drink, sans ice!

Samaris

Oh, I remember getting a box of chips in the town and walking home with it. When I got back, there was a lovely fat maggot sitting in amongst them.

Rightly put me off chips for a bit!

LivingDeadGirl

This thread is greatly increasing my mistrust of food companies and restaurants!

Whilst adding extra tomato sauce to a burger in a multinational fast food establishment I observed a centipede crawling through the lettuce. Needless to say I was royally peeved, they did give me a refund to be fair, I probably should have milked it for more like they would in America, look for damages for psychological trauma or some such nonsense.

Irish Guitarist

Not nasty as such but I almost broke my tooth on a stone in some Bombay Mix. I also saw a massive spider in some strawberries I bought in Tesco. I have nothing against spiders but I don't want them laying eggs in my food.

Saw something very tiny crawling around in my freshly opened Wheetabix a while back. Never again.

Pube in a bag of chips from a local chipper.

Uncooked chicken in mosney.

Spider in a cheap can of orange.

Worm in a apple.

Theres a few more Ive blocked out at this stage :pac:

Bubbaclaus

Dismembered rat guts (or at least something rat sized) in a carton of orange juice.

Didn't notice until the carton was pretty much completely drank either.

Come to think of it, I"m still a little dubious of garden-fresh fruits. Many years ago, I bit a woodlouse in two when eating a strawberry from the garden. To this day, I still cut any strawberry I eat in half, just to be sure! That awful little scriitch sound of its exoskeleton... O.O

Woodlice taste oddly sour, just in case anyone is curious.

The weirdest was in Brazil. Had a box of boil in the bag rice by a well-known brand - something like Aunty Jens - which after a while (and having eaten a few bags) I noticed the box was really warm. Like, really warm. Very strange.

I peeped inside but was fairly freaked out, so just tossed it in the bin before further investgation.

Was a weird one. Still don't know what the hell was going on in there.
