one time in middle school, my friend almost ate this weird looking thing in her taco meat. She pulled it out and we didn't know what it was so we took it up to the science wing and one of the teachers determined it was part of a cow's artery.

I dislike suddenly biting down on a piece of sinew or bone in meat, I rarely will eat anything ready-made with chicken cubes... they often have a small bit left. But at the same time, I don't really mind it more when it's a worm or whatever. I've eaten insects on purpose and they're even pretty good, it's not like it's really going to hurt to eat a worm. It's just the sudden crunch when expecting a soft piece of meat I hate. :(

I drank a glass of kool-aid full of ants.. now whenever i drink anything.. I look in the cup first

[Dariah]

I found a used bandaid in a sandwich once. Luckily, I hadn't bitten into it yet.

[FrozenMoonbeam]

eeew.

there was ground up bits of cow in my vegetarian spring roll once...

And when we were doing health and saftey training at the supermarket where I used to work, we had to look at slides of like, dead mice that had been cooked into loaves of bread and sliced up. EEEWWW it was so very gross.

Once I got a cupcake out of the very back of our snack cupboard. It was in an qpaque wrapper and I wasn't paying attention when I un-wrapped and bit into it. It was like a PUFFBALL of mold! Not recognisable as a cupcake AT ALL. I spit and rinsed of course I am very careful what I eat now. At other peoples house I always ask when something was purchased.

Short, course black hair.....

[mystical_shroom]

Short, course black hair.....

[RetroGroove_Grrl]

I found a piece of sharp plastic inside a piece of pasta.

and hair, obviously, in my family there is lots of hair floating around, were a bunch of longhairs.

Worst thing I have found in food was at work, when I found a snail munching away on some buk choy that someone wanted to buy.... I was like

"uhh, did you knowthere is a snail in this?"

[bedlam]

when I was little my parents and me went to some of their friends house for dinner, they served some kind of chicken or turkey soup, and I got a HUGH chunk of grisle in one of my bites! I was really polite as a kid and didn't want to seem rude so I chewed it (for what seemed like forever!) and swallowed it! yuk it was soooooooo nasty I can't believe I did that but they we using cloth napkins so I could spit it out dicreetly.

also just last summer I bought a four pack of chocolate slimfast, I had already drank 2 of the cans then one morning woke up to have one for breakfast, opened it took a slip and almost barfed everywhere it acually tasted like barf! I dumped it out and it had hugh chucks in it and smelled so rancid. the can had expired by a year along with the last can I had left (which I made a point not to drink hehe!) I don't know why I didn't do anything about it, looking back I wish I had! I should have atleast brought it back to the store and got my money back, I guess i was feeling lazy or something.

[EmbraceInnerPeaches]

..well i ate a kitty litter sandwhich made with beef jerky and leaves and honey.......it just was weird.....

[LittleRedOne]

My brother ate a caterpillar when he was small. He thought it was a gooseberry.
When I was a baby I used to crawl up the garden and sit on the compost heap, eating handfuls of rotten veg and stuff. Mmmm, vegetably goodness :D

[happykoala]

this isn't that gross, but on time I made a chocolate milkshake. I poured it in a glass, but when I drank it, it tasted really funky, and then I felt something hard...after spitting it out, I realized I had poured my milkshake into my brother's glass of orange soda.

[Atom bomb therapy]

old milk.

[treesus]

[UFEZG]

I got a dead fly in a Yoo Hoo
Once there was cat puke in my tomato soup ((that cat still lives, I might add))
A maggot in a peanut at the state fair
Nail polish in my Dr. Pepper
An inchworm in my sloppy joe
Something crunchy in a hot dog (to this day, I don't know what. I puked, so whatever)
A cigarette butt in my beans and franks
An eraser in some spaghetti

It seems that stuff that isn't supposed to be in food finds its way onto the table... especially my table... :P

my brother found a feather in his KFC chicken wing once...

as for me, once i orderd a ceaser salad with NO chicken, just plain!

first they bring it to me with the chicken, so i returned it and aske for a new one... as i'm eating the chickenless one i find a piece of chicken in it... YUK
i almost threw up... i was so angry at them cause i specified it had to be a new one... and not to just take the chicken of, i mean i could have done that.
i ended up not eating anything.
and i acted like a b i t c h and told the manager... sorry sorry yeah yeah blah
by the way it was at TGIF...

My dh got some lettuce from our garden, and I was teasing him and said, "You rinsed all the bugs out of it, didn't you?" As I was putting some of the lettuce on my sandwich for some reason, I turned it over and saw the BIGGEST catapiller I have ever seen, it was exactly the same color as the lettuce. It was alive and squirming.

Ugh, I didn't eat ANY dinner that night.

[tuatara]

while riding my motorcycle one night i stopped to talk to some girls and just notice that i was chewing on something that tasted like peppermint but i hadn't eaten any peppermints ..i took it out of my mouth and i was chewing on a fly ..........or how about the time i was eating a nice juicy apple and i noticed a worm in it .....actually ,half a worm

[trancetripnddhd]

a cabbage worm in my cole slaw...all nicely packaged from my grocery store

[kitty fabulous]

once after visiting my late mother in the hospital, i went to a denny's restaraunt in rochester, with my dad and my then-four-year-old son, and i ordered a salad, because for some reason i was craving one. but right in the middle of it was a slimy, grey, rotten lettuce leaf. we complained and the waitress just told me not to eat it. she wouldn't even replace the salad or refund our money. we emailed the company when we got to my dad's house, and our complaint was one of many that eventually got that restaraunt shut down.

i was totally nauseous for days. i'd even considered taking legal action, the nausea was so bad, and i had every reason to believe it was the salad. but imagine my surprise when, the day after christmas, my ex and i discovered i was pregnant with my daughter! the nausea was just "morning" sickness!

[hippiejessica]

Blood in my quesadilla from Taco Bell. I was looking in it to make sure they didn't put any tomatoes or lettuce or whatever, and there it was. Thank goodness I didn't bite into it!

Another gross thing in my food--I went to a Japanese restaurant last summer (05) and on my salad they had put that green flubby sauce that makes your tongue feel like it's about to fall off.

[hippychickmommy]

I found a whole cockroach in a raspberry slurpee when I was a little girl. My father had a fit, took the slurpee right back to the store we got it from and give them an earfull.

[satirul]

It often happens to find something suspiciously soft in cherries...i learned that's a maggot,so i don't look anymore,just keep eating it saying to myself "it's protein,it's good for ya!".

Pubic hair...lots and lots of it in a pizza.

One day i was sqatting with a bunch of punks,we had no money and i was on this beach in a very torrid day.At some point i see a bottle of beer half full...thank god!It was warm,but who cared...I took a mouthfull...guess what...it was a very salty kind of beer.since that day one of my nicknames is pee guru,"specialist in urinotherapy"

[MelvnDoo]

once in middle school i was eating a hamburger and felt this weird mass of something in my mouth after i took a bite and chewed a couple of times. using my tongue, it didnt feel like a foreign substance at all, so i just felt around with my fingers in my mouth. i pulled a single hair out of my mouth and out came this huge ball with it! turns out it was a long hair (from one of the nasty lunch ladies, no doubt...gross!) that turned into this clump which locked in parts of the hamburger to form a ball.
i think they just gave me another one - which i did eat but after i gave it a thorough inspection

years later i knowingly and willingly ate a dried caterpillar from africa. as i bit into it, the hardend "exoskeleton-like shell" of the body exploded/shattered in my mouth and and all the dry, dry pieces (along with the dust of the pieces) went all over the place. i instantly gagged and came close to throwing up.


and then years after that, i was in a german restaurant in chicago and ordered a hot corned beef sandwhich. long story short, i soon became dizzily ill for an hour, threw up for a few hours in a car, arrived at my empty house and hallucinated (seriously) a bunch. i tried to lay down to rest but i felt like i was on fire, with actual flames all over my body. so i tried to run really fast around my house in an attempt to have the wind extingiush the fire. after a while, i had to lie down again because i was exhausted, yet still on fire and having weird visual images and physical sensations. i was fully aware that what was happening wasnt real but i couldnt make it stop. there were absolutely no drugs involved (at least to my knowledge. but i doubt that an upscale german restaurant would be secretly dosing people) - this was pure food poisioning. that god damn corned beef (aka the :X)...

[KParker730]

Ahh once i cracked open a hard boiled egg, and the white was all red and bloody! That was pretty traumatizing i havent eaten hard boiled eggs since.

[Cosmic Butterfly]

They had organic cherry cider on sale at store because it was going to expire in a month. So I bought a bottle. When I got home I opened it up and began to chug it down. But something was not right. There was stuff floating on the top and things had seperated. When I looked at the inside of the lid there was a bunch of little maggots. The stuff floating on the top was maggot cacoons. It was so gross. I lay on the grown wailing and puking. It was kind of funny though too.

[coffeeandasmoke]

I've found a pubic hair in my pancakes at IHOP and a hair on my chicken at a Mexican restaurant out here. The servers were really cool about it, replaced my food, and I still go to both places. It's only happened those two times to me, and it doesn't seem like it happens often at either place.

[badwolf]

My friend found this weird thing floating it her beer once, it remembled a combination of a large piece of snot and a dead sea creature. It really stank too.

To this day we still have no clue what it was.
