What's the weirdest/grossest thing you've found in your food?

Speaking of that, and since this topic came up with my family some months ago, my mum found a Parsons Nose in some KFC meal back in the 80's. She hasn't been back since and its put me off too.

For those not familiar with the term Parson's Nose, it's the part of the chicken that went over the fence last. Sometimes also called the Pope's Nose.

Some people eat that part of the chicken too. At least we know it's a legitimate and edible part of a chicken. Nuggets, I don't know.
 
i found a wasp in a wrap. It was almost alive, it was trying to flap it wings but failing miserably.. kinda felt sorry for it, but it totally ruined my lunch break. I was starving and couldnt be bothered to walk back to the shop.
 
My ex in Uni got a feather in her Taco Bell chicken fajita... the worst I've got was to glass shards in an Iced tea that actually got stuck in my lip (the lid was damaged).

I've had two incidents with bugs in my food, flower bugs in some no-name mac & cheeze, and some other unidentified bugs found in some dill bought at a bulk food store; in both cases I discovered the critters before consumption.
 
When I was a kid I was munching a bag of mini marshmallows.

They were somewhat crunchy and I couldn't figure out why.

Finally, I had the brilliant idea of only biting half of one to examine why it was crunchy.

I bit a pink mini marshmallow in half and proceeded to check it out.

I saw an ant wriggling it's way inside it.

I threw the bag away and then threw up the marshmallows.

I guess ants had somehow found their way inside the bottom cupboard and made their way to a feast of marshmallows.

Yuck. I haven't eaten a single marshmallow since and this happened when I was 9.
 
I havent found much stuff, but in elementary school there were quite a few gross times. I went to a public school then, and I dont know about yours, but our lunches were disgusting. I know multiple people who found Band-Aids in their food while I was sitting next to them.



They were used too.
 
Staples in red jello in elementary school. Also plastic wrap on top of each piece for some reason.

Not really gross, to me anyway, but I was camping last year along a river and made a Mountain House dehydrated apple cobbler. My pan wasn't quite big enough so I couldn't put the lid on. Bugs attracted to the fire landed in the not-yet-done dough. We still ate it. I wasn't really bothered by it. :p
 
When I was around 10 years old I was in the car (windows down) drinking a pineapple soda.

Yes, pineapple. But that's not the point.

I suppose at some point I had stopped paying attention to the pineapple soda just long enough for a bee to get into the can from which I was enjoying this odd potion.

When I took a drink, the bee tried desperately to crawl through the pineapple soda and between my lips. It finally succeeded. It was easily the strangest sensation of my life up to that point (since eclipsed by the feel of one of these), and I was spitting bee and pineapple soda all over the inside of the car, much to my mother's chagrin.

In hindsight, I can understand her bewilderment - it's not every day that the person next to you spontaneously starts spitting pineapple soda and bee all over the place, with no apparent reason.

It didn't sting me (thankfully), but I will say that if you ever have a bee crawl out of your pineapple soda and between your lips, you will NOT forget it. Ever.
 
The weirdest thing I've had would be a piece of cardboard in a large cookie. I was at school at the time and the guys convinced me to send it back to the company. I did so and got a letter back (apparently they were shocked to hear the news and had never had anything like that reported before). They also gave me a box with several of their other products in it, none of which contained any cardboard :)
 
Today i went to our local bakery and bought 2 pies.

And i ate one Perfect and hot too then i get the second one out of the bag. There is a HAIR sticking out of it.

That leaves me thinking did the first pie have any hair in it? Ah well the temp that it's cooked at would have killed anything
 
A guy I worked with found a rather large (2 inch) black slug in a yoghurt from the English supermarket Sainsburys.

nice
 
Tiny little flies in a tin of Pineapples, don't used tinned food now.
Hair in take away meal, don't get those now
Bottom line for me is never eat anything other people you don't know have made.

That's happened to some dill I had in the cupboard, forgot all about it and, ye little bugs, funny thing is the jar was sealed...maybe dill is really bug eggs :rolleyes:
 
The Grossest!

I used to work at that McDonalds, I don't go there anymore. I've pretty much stopped eating McDonalds' food altogether (Still drinks and ice cream seldomly) Not because of the condom incident, rather I think most of the food they serve is disgusting.

My brother used to work at McDonalds as a janitor. One day when he arrived at work, he couldn't find the brush that he used to clean the toilets and urinals. As he looked for it, he found that a new employee was using it to clean the inside of the milkshake dispenser!

:eek:*spits milkshake all over computer screen*
 
Wow...who knew that so many people found gross stuff in their food? And one poster who has found (i think it was) four or five things? I don't think I've really ever found anything from a restaurant-served meal.

But I think the grossest that has happened to me was at a party when I put down my beer for a couple of minutes, then came back and took a big gulp. Unfortunately, someone had used my beer as an ashtray so I ended up with a used cigarette butt in my mouth, and a swill of ashy beer. It was horrible.

Although I still have trauma when eating those hostess cherry pies 20 years later, due to some kids in high school saying it looked like...well, it may be too vulgar for forum talk, but use your imagination.
 
One time as a kid I was pouring ketchup out of one of those glass Heinz 57 bottles and a piece of glass came out along with the ketchup. Luckily, I saw it when it came out, so it never got anywhere near my mouth. Pretty sure we got that meal for free.
