Most Disgusting Thing You've Found In Your Food?

I found a fingernail in my mojito at Cubana Lounge... eew

I found a nail in my IHOP omelette...as in a metal nail, not fingernail...had to bite on it to find it unfortunately!

Ok...technically it wasn't in my food, but I have not eaten at a Hardee's in about 12 years. They allowed a customer to sit in the dining room and clip his fingernails. When my husband asked him to stop, the other guy got beligerent and the staff told us all that he could do whatever he wanted. In addition to this, there was a mouse running through the dining room and a staff member squashed it with a food tray. I was so disgusted and upset that I paid the bank $15 to put a stop payment on the $9 check that I had written. Corporate called me and apologized. They sent me a few coupons for free items, as well. But I will not ever eat at a Hardee's.

I found an insect egg on a blueberry. This was after popping another one in my mouth and thinking to myself it was a bit too hard... yuck.

What's the most disgusting thing you've never found in your food? haha

My daughter was stalked and then eventually assaulted. Her attacker wasn't jailed and the police told my daughter that she needed to tell her employer, a local restaurant, what the girl looked like so all of the employees would recognize her if she came in. She took in a picture of the girl and showed everyone.
One day while my daughter wasn't working, the girl came in and they all recognized her. Welll according to them they spit in their drink, dropped the food on the floor, etc., then served it to the person!
I was grossed out hearing that but at the same time I also didn't care. On the other hand, it makes me wonder what else has gone on in kitchens! Don't ever piss off your server! lol

Once, in high school, i found a coin in the lasagne

At work one day my office mate ordered some waffle fries from a local diner .... it has the back half of a mouse in the fry..... the lower leg and feet and tail... so it looked similar to the waffle in the waffle fry.

We determined the mouse got caught in the fry slicer/stamper machine at the factory and so someone else got the head and guts in their fries....

Needless to say... we got lunch for free for a week...

My SO is an audio visual guy. His company installed the sound system for a popular chain steak house. They get calls every few months to come back and fix wires that have been chewed by mice or rats. The cupboard where the wires are is located directly above the soft drink machine. Every time they open the cupboard mice droppings fall out. Needless to say we don't eat there. Ever.

I was at Whataburger and a cricket fell from the ceiling onto my sister's plate. That grossed me out. I couldn't eat there anymore.

I found what I thought was earthworm in a piece of chicken...which is why I refuse to eat meat still attached to the bone, especially chicken. Unfortunately, now I can only tolerate super processed boneless skinless chicken breasts.

According to everything I've read on Google...it wasn't an earthworm after all. It was an ESOPHAGUS. I'd rather have the worm, thank you.

Usually one slip-up doesn't bother me, be it a hair, a fly, or fishbones - working in a supermarket and the dissection course at school did wonders for me. There was a time I even thought raw meat was disgusting, but dissecting the heart of a cow and the eye of a pig does wonders..... It's just when the number of.... incidents grows that I get creeped out and too annoyed with stuff.

Like when I found flour moth larvae in my rice. It was a new package, too. No big deal, shrugged it off, dumped the package and opened another one. Sealed, another brand, and not exactly cheap, either.

More lavae. What the hell....

That sufficiently cured me from my old rice addiction and I took a break from that stuff for a few weeks. I understand that this happens, and it's not that bad, but seriously, that was too many bugs for one day. Also, you can barely see those damned things, so sorting out is not exactly an option.

The bigger blasphemy, though, were definitely fruit flies in my wine. My wonderful, wonderful wine :sad: Never had something like a (toe-)nail, though. That's definitely disgusting stuff. brrrrr..... :sick:

(Usually the more disgusting things, imo, is what your food can turn into sometimes.... When a potato grows a beard bigger than Gandalf, something obviously went terribly wrong somewhere..........)

Whats worse than finding a caterpillar in your sandwich?

Finding half a caterpillar....

An eyelash with mascara on it in my salad from steak n' shake.

when i was a kid we were having dinner and there was a TOOTH in a box of Kraft mac & cheese.

mom didn't freak. her reasoning? it had been in boiling water for 20 mins. :laugh:

let me begin by saying that i've never been a fan of fish - tuna fish is all i will eat in the "fish" department. so when i found a BONE in my can of tuna, it almost ruined me completely :grumble:
