    A big fluffy feather, would have understood if I were eating chicken, but it was in a salad. It was sandwiched in the layers of lettuce.
    Needless to say, I did not finish.

    Personally, I say who cares? Those insects are probably more nutritious than the food they are in! Plus, most food that we eat already has bugs and parts in them... we just don't know it. (It's allowed by the FDA.) I'm an advocate for entomophagy.

    The one that does bother me are the band-aids. Seriously... they didn't realize it fell off? Um, at least they were covering their cut??

    I was eating a hot dog at an Oriole's game, and the guys behind me were making lewd comments. I don't know what made me look at my hot dog at that point, but there was a big chunk of black fur in the middle. :sick:

    Friend and i went to a restaurant, and she got a salad with pine nuts. She had a bite that was super loud, and she bit on a pine nut shaped piece of glass... it was aweful... luckily they gave her her meal for free.

    Wow the worst thing I've ever found in my food was a metal wire in a calzone. It's not really disgusting but I could have choked on it lol.

    hmm lets see, cat hair (last night) while dining at my bff's house.

    The worst happened when I was a child. I dug into the neighbors cookie jar and immediately started munching down on a cookie. I took several bites before it dawned on me it was tasting a bit off. I looked down at the cookie to discover that it had fat grubby worms in it. Mealy worms! I gagged, spat, flushed, flushed my mouth 200 hundred times more but still almost thrity years later I am traumatized. hahaha true story.

    A ginger's mustache hair in my fruit and yogurt parfait from McDonalds... also halfway through eating it before it was unearthed.... Vomit.

    Ginger, you say? You've been contaminated. Proceed to airlock for chem-wash.

    One time I picked up a cake slice from the local supermarket. When I got home I made some coffee and sat down to dig in. It had a metallic taste but I assumed I was coming down with something. After a few more bites I couldn't take it. I tossed it in the trash only to find the bottom have mold. ...and then I died...

    My LAST visit to any TGIFridays was when I ordered nachos. I ALWAYS put at least half of my food in a take home container before eating. Well *kitten* I was packing away, I noticed a bug under one of the pieces AND my plate was dirty.

    I got a slice of pizza once from a Wal-Mart food court and found one of those little silica gel packs (found in medicine bottles to absorb moisture) under a pepperoni! I talked to the manager about it who didn't see what the big deal was; he just told me to throw it away!

    Are you kidding me???? I would have flipped OUT!!!!!!! Free Walmart forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    mosquito larva in my rice.

    One time I was having some soup at a restaurant in China. My mom just ordered "the special" and I didn't think to ask what it was. Then I saw it was Turtle soup. I had two pet turtles at home at the time and I couldn't bring myself to eat another bite at the place.

    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.

    Chewed gum in a can of orange soda when I was a kid - no, it wasn't mine. I will never forget that.

    Few weeks ago I found crushed stones in my navy beans while I was pouring them in the pot for the overnight pre-soak.
    Co-worker was having soup in our work cafeteria and opened up the little pack of crackers. She only used two of them in her soup. Few minutes later, some crawly thing caught the corner of my eye, I looked over and there were ants crawling in the plastic wrap and all over the table. Yes she already had eaten quite a bit of her soup :P

    I found a beetle? (or some sort of bug) in a prepared salade from the grocery store.
    Work ordered in pizza for us....my piece had a curly hair sticking out of the cheese.
    Work brought me to the restaurant for a bday lunch....I ordered a wrap, when I picked up the seond piece I happened to notice a black hair sticking out (work pizza and lunch was the same place...never ate there again)
    When I was young my parents ordered pizza, my slice had a nice blue thumb tack (push pin) baked in it. I bit down on it and it stabbed my gum.
    My dad, PO'd, called the place and the guy says,....these things happen and hung up on him???:huh:

    I worked for a butcher/deli for the longest time, slicing sandwhich meat one day a hunk of metal flew out at me....it was a pop tab.
    Ive also found plastic, and metal wires, bones etc in the lunch meats......I havent eaten any since.

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