Had a curler in my custard and a moth in my salad.
Let loose your tales of horror.
Fish.
A pizza from Pizza Hut.
Moth wouldn't bother me, actually a pube is probably better than a bit of chewed fingernail.
Mushrooms.
A mushroom.
Lorne sausage, which is the work of the devil.
Out with a lass I in my yoof. We went to a butty shop and purchased her lunch.
She had a habit of always taking a look inside shop sarnies, nothing dramatic, just opening the bread and having a peek.
Probably saved her life on this occasion.
Opened up her flaked salmon sarnie to find a whole load of shattered safety glass.
Apparently cabinet had smashed earlier etc etc. Had we been older than 17 we'd probably have kicked off more; as it was, a refund, free sarnie and drink we took as a reasonable recompense.
A live ant inside a peach.
Half a beetle.
Celery.
Lorne sausage, which is the work of the devil.
Behave yerself. Braised in gravy with loads of onion and black pepper, it is heavenly!.
Fish.

My parents have human turds in their white bread I kid you not. 😆
My mum bought a loaf of bread from a bread seller (in far east) and when she got home to open the plastic bag she could smell strong human turds. My father confirmed that. She then realised the bread was mixed with human turds and promptly return it to the baker the next day. Yes, she kept as evidence until the next day.
The story goes, apparently dissatisfied employees shat on the bread to sabotage the employer.
😆
Unexpected black olive.
Toenail
+1 olives
Suspiciously eartag like bit of blue plastic in a burger.
A large piece of fingernail in an aero. That was 20 yrs ago and never eaten one since.
Maggots in a pack of tesco chicken. Never shopped there again.
Usual wildlife in salad.
Grub in an apple. Still reluctant to eat them. Tend to cut them up first.
Found a screw in a curry, the owner then went on to blame me for planting it in there to get a free curry
I found a whole bloody load of them in a peach when I was a kid - put me off them for yearsA live ant inside a peach.
Found a dead moth in my beer glass once - at the end of the pint 🙁
Little white maggots in my carelessly-stored (magic) mushrooms.
a large tuft of human? hair incorporated into my baguette from the work canteen
the end of a rubber glove, inside an m&s chorizo pasta salad from a service station (dunno if there was a finger inside it...)
Little white maggots in my carelessly-stored (magic) mushrooms.
did you notice them after you'd taken them?
mate found a dead frog in a bag of salad once.
Mould on a bacon sandwich from the BV cafe at Cannock Chase.
Another unexpected food horror was when a colleague came back from snowboarding in the Alps with treats. He'd bought back a bag of something that looked like sweet biscuits with a cream filling - the packaging was in French, and I'd done German at school, so I was oblivious to the actual content. Turned out it was a savoury biscuit with a processed goat's cheese filling.
You might think, "That sounds OK." It wasn't.
It really wasn't.
did you notice them after you'd taken them?
No, thankfully. I was [i]seriously tempted[/i] to just man-up and eat the lot, but decided it probably wasn't the best way to start a trip.
Back in the day I bought a big plate of chips from the college canteen.
Added plenty of salt and vinegar and tucked in. Thought it was odd that the chips tasted more of mint sauce (as-in minty vinegar).
All explained when I dug in deeper and found chewing gum melted all over the lower chips. It had obviously fallen out of the slavering gob of the dinner lady as she fried them up. Quality. Not.
A piece of hairy meat in a steak n kidney pie. Thats not a euphemism
Slivers of glass in a baked potato at a pub. No apology but after a bit of to and fro he begrudgingly offered to pick it out for me - not a new potato you understand, just the old one with his assurance he had found all the bits. Wasn't entitled to a refund apparently. Personally if I'd have served up a plate of broken glass I'd have been offering up the services of my wife to ensure I didn't get sued.
We didn't go the legal route.....more the dirty protest route.
definitely fish
A tooth in a sausage, gravel in a lettuce which broke my tooth, a fish inside a fish.
A spider in a box of bananas when i worked for Tesco.

A live ant inside a peach.
My sister bit into a peach to find a dead slug wrapped around the stone.
A tooth in a sausage, gravel in a lettuce which broke my tooth
Good job you had a spare from the sausage eh
What's all the fish phobia?
Tongue.
Tongue that hadn't been cleaned properly, so there was a bizarre French kissing sensation as I chewed and cow taste buds rolled around my mouth.
[i]What's all the fish phobia?[/i]
It tastes absolutely vile.
Mushrooms too. Bloody Marks & Spencer steak and ale pie. No you idiots its a steak, ale and [i]mushroom pie[/i]. Bastards ruined my dinner.
Let's not forget the stealth tomato in every pre packed sandwich.
An absence of chilli
I lived with a girl who kept a pet Cockatiel..
I was sat in the living room eating a coronation chicken salad baguette one afternoon, and thought I'd dropped a bit of the filling onto my t-shirt..
I quickly picked it off and shoved it my gob only to encounter the foulest and bitterest taste sensation I have ever had the misfortune to endure..
The squawking, screeching, violent, insanely jealous little demon had crapped on me from above.. 😈
(I'm not sure why I felt the need to mention her pet bird at the beginning of the post)
Blood - in a chicken Kiev served in a pub.
Unexpected custard in what looked like delicious hand made profiteroles. I very nearly cried.
My daughter took a liking to sugar snap peas, so she sat eating them raw last week, and then started opening them up to eat just the peas, except she found a maggot, cue an hysterical outburst..
Unexpected custard
Is that a euphemism? 😯 😈
Chicken, on my pizza.
Out on a bender many moons ago with a mate, we both order a drunken pizza.
I don't eat meat
👿
Slug pellets in salad.
Broccoli
In a school 'meal' in the seventies I stumbled across a two pence sized piece of green glass in a heap of boiled cabbage. I was stunned but didn't say anything to anyone, simply moved it to the side of my plate and sheepishly carried on eating.
Also, once found this weird worm at the bottom of a bottle of tequila...
Wedding anniversary meal with a couple with whom we share our wedding anniversary, expensive Thai Restaurant, in one of the curries I found a long dark hair. I spotted it before anyone ate it, complained nicely along the lines of 'I found this in the curry' holding it up in finger and thumb so that others in the restaurant could see. We got 50% off the whole bill which included several bottles of wine, so we went home happy and sloshing.
I found a plastic cut off corner from a bag and a staple in the same curry. Complained. No apology. Never went back there even though I wasn't paying.
having a meal in a shared house yonks ago, one of the girls goes very red in the face, rushes from the table and spits the remainder of her sausage which turned out to include part of an eyelid complete with lashes - a bit chewy she later divulged
Pineapple on a pizza. I mean FFS why why why would anybody do that, the inhumanity of it.
Found broken glass in a packet of peanuts once. I thought they were a bit crunchy.
A friend was working out in Beijing a while ago and, whilst eating int he company canteen, found part of a jawbone in his lunchtime stew.
a KFC
oh and a pin a mince pie
oh and squeezy cheese in a sausage
Worst thing I found in my pub dinner yesterday was my dinner.
A pig tooth in a sausage from Tesco.
My friend had a chewy bit in a blueberry yoghurt. It wasn't a blueberry but a slightly chewed

I once found all my 5 a day in one meal. I was outraged!
Possum.
To be fair I had actually ordered a whole baked possum but quickly came to the conclusion that it was the most disgusting thing I'd ever tasted.

A piece of broken glass in some apple crumble from my (then) work canteen. Unfortunately I didn't notice it, took a mouthful and said glass pierced the roof of my mouth and cut my tongue - thankfully I didn't swallow it! It didn't actually hurt all that much, I'd thought it was a bit of burnt sugar or just an overly crunchy bit of crumble topping - I got a hell of a shock when I spat it out into a napkin 🙁
A blood-drenched sticking plaster, the sort that caterers use when they get cuts so they can see them if they come off their bleeding fingers when they are making your sandwich.
Aunt Bessie roast potatoes. Thanks to my MiL.
Four of us went to one of those upmarket burger places by The Clink in London. My mate found a piece of stiff wire in his burger, as he's known for making a fuss it was amusing to watch him explode but by the time he'd finished we got all our food and beers for free so all very good.
A fag end including filter in a school pasty when I was 15. Made the pasty taste disgusting, I have not eaten one since
Another one with potentially more serious consequence was about 15 years ago in a local restaurant with a very good reputation.
"Has the [b][u]home made[/u][/b] banoffi pie got chocolate in it? " I ask.
"No " says waitress
I take one large bite, clearly has chocolate in it so I spit it out.
I complain to waitress who brings manager over. " i'll check whats on the [b][u]packet[/u][/b] " she says. Comes back, "oh yes, it has white chocolate in it"
When I explained I have a cocoa allergy and it could have caused me a real problem, the manager just shrugged and asked whether I would like some ice cream instead. She did not take it seriously and so I never went back.
A used plaster in a pizza. Obviously came off the hand of the pizza maker!
Rusty nails in a pizza in Peru.
Quorn.
Made myself a ham salad sandwich to take to a work event a couple of months ago - given the 5am start i wasn't paying much attention.
Whilst eating it really confused myself - i was sure i didn't put a lump of stilton in there, but carried on regardless assuming id thrown in some nice stinky cheese and forgotten about it.
Next morning go to make second sandwich and actually looked at the butter. It was furrier than a rat's backside and stunk.... 🙁
I also hate mushrooms. I found a large piece of rubber in my thick cut marmalade.
