I was served bloody chicken in a restaurant while on holiday when I was 10 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!

A stone in a tin of beans.

A butter sachet in a pizza.

A pen cap in a curry chip.

A screw in my tuna

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 · 07-06-2015 10:28PM

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!

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.

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.

Got a deep fried daddylonglegs in the middle of my won tons

Half a worm in an apple...genuinely.

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

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

Iseedeadpixels · 08-06-2015 12:18AM

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:

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.

Samaris · 08-06-2015 12:25AM

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.

A ring that I nearly swallowed in a barmbrack.

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.

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:

John, Paul, George or Ringo??

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.

Getting anything in a bag of crisps these days is a bonus.

Nice juicy caterpillar in my homegrown broccoli. I put him to one side and continued eating. No big deal.

Akrasia · 08-06-2015 07:15AM

I opened a jar once to discover to my horror that it was full of Bovril

~shudder~

Fruit flies in vinegar seems to be fairly common

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 it a ginger pube?

Because if so that's not a glitch, it's a feature.

Mouse in my cereal.

No ones fault. The bastard had gotten into the house, into a cupboard, nibbled into my frosties, then got poured into the bowl.

Then said bowl got kicked across room by my hysterical sister, followed by a number of mouse traps laid across the house.

Did never see the mouse again.
