Most Disgusting Thing You've Found In Your Food?

I don't remember what type of bug it was but I found half of it in the McDonald's hamburger that I had just bitten into. I swallowed & then realized where the other half of the bug probably was now & shuddered.

My mother and I went to a fairly decent Chinese restaurant when I was a kid. I had ordered a soda and she ordered an iced tea. The restaurant was having trouble with the soda machine in the back so only her drink came out and she had to use the bathroom. I sneaked a sip of her drink and I noticed something dark in the glass. When I told her she fished out a huge solid chunk of ice cube that contained a whole cockroach.

When we told the manager he almost had a heart attack and insisted on showing my mother the kitchen and everything else in the back to prove the roach wasn't their fault. And it wasn't, it had come off the supply truck. We got our meal for free, they replaced my mother's drink after inspecting the ice in it, but we didn't go back for a while.

And just to add, no part of the roach was outside the ice. The biggest shock was I was the only one who had taken a sip of it before it was noticed. My mom thinks it's funny.

I got a salad from Hardee's once, and when I got back to work with it, it had little black hairs in it! EW! I sent them a note, and asked them why didn't they put onions in their salad instead of little black hairs? They sent me a coupon for another salad, but I threw it away.

Few weeks ago I found crushed stones in my navy beans while I was pouring them in the pot for the overnight pre-soak.

One of my jobs in the kitchen is to clean the beans before cooking them. It's critical if you hope to keep your teeth and/or fillings intact.

Oh, I forgot one...when I was a teenager I opened a bottle of Dr. Pepper and took a drink, only to find I wasn't only drinking liquid...still not sure what it was, but it FELT like spit out chewing tobacco!!!

Heh. Pubes. Pubes are funny.

I used to work in a butchers , in those days people in the shops didn't wear gloves.
I had made sausages , I had mixed the batch with my hands and as fast as I was making them they
were being sold. Earlier in the day I had cut my finger and put a bandaid on it, after the rush of customers I noticed
the bandaid wasn't on my finger. Somebody must have found their sausage extra chewy !!

DING DING DING, we have a winner! LOL

I found a bee in a jar of pickles at the grocery store.

I didnt actually take them home, but I had them in my cart for purchase.

When I was about 18, I found a fried roach in my french fries from BK.

A month ago, I found a piece of plastic in my salad from Ruby Tuesdays.

They do tell you on the package to check for that, though.

wow really? I've never actually read the package haha My mother used to cook the same kind of beans when I was young, so I just called her up and asked her how she prepared them. The things you miss when you don't read the package!!! *runs to read package*

When I was younger, I found a chicken claw in my chicken sandwich at mcdonalds. The manager tried to say it was just a bone, but it was CLEARLY a chicken claw.

Holy crap THAT is disgusting.

Not disgusting really, but I bit into a pebble baked into a Flaming Hot Cheeto. It cracked a molar, and I was pregnant so I couldn't have dental work done and had to wait. They, while trying to say that it couldn't have come out of their bag, at least cut me a check for the dental work I later had.

This one is food in my food, but it traumatized me. There's a hole in the wall place where I live that makes amazing hard shell tacos. That's all we ever get there, because they are famous for them. One morning my Husband and I decided to try breakfast there, and there was a huge piece of uncooked bacon fat in the middle of mine. No meat on it at all, and it was about a 1/2 inch thick and ran the entire length of the burrito. Even after taking it out, I couldn't eat anymore of it.

Various hairs throughout the years too.

I should read this thread each time I get hungry. It's the best appetite suppressor

I found one of these in my Haggis!

Found a short & curly in my sandwich. Nothing worse than realizing somebody has done something awful to your falafel.

It's stupid how proud of this thread I am. Lol

I did find it pretty surprising the first time I saw it. It says to check for "small stones, soil particles, etc.". I guess it would be difficult for a machine to differentiate between dried beans and tiny rocks.

I just found a slug in my salad yesterday and almost puked!

I'm kind bummed that that doesn't rhyme, in my accent.

I used to work in the local environmental health department sometimes in University vacations - that's where all the contaminated food would be reported to - lots of cockroaches, mould, and very bizarrely once a lump of coal baked into a loaf of bread!

But I've lived most of my life in the countryside where we have a robust attitude to what's edible - a little blue mould or some fruit flies have no doubt been consumed on occasion, plus those little maggoty things you get if you gather your own mushrooms; extra protein!

Even when the bag says "triple-cleaned", we always find at least one or two. If you aren't doing this, you're eating them without noticing. Some brands are better than others. Surprisingly, the Great Value beans from Walmart have been some of the cleanest, in our experience.

I imagine if they are small enough that you don't notice swallowing them, they aren't going to hurt you. Unless you bite down on one.
