had a box of chocalates when I was kid.  Picked out the one with the tail in  it to show my mom...damn mouse

I was eating pizza once and bit into what I thought was an anchovi. Upon closer inspection I discovered to my horror that it WAS an anchovi!

Put me off pizza for a week (almost).

Several years ago, my Brother an I were in Costa Rica, very nice place by the way.  Anyway, we had just finished hiking a small Volcano and found our selves very hungry.  On our way back to our "hotel,"  we stopped in the middle of no where, at a "road side hut" to grab a quick bit to eat.  

I ordered a Hamburger, as did my brother.  When we receive our burgers,  we were so  hungry there was no time to inspect the food just eat.  I got about half way thru it, when I was startled by a large CRUNCH.  I them inspected the burger only to find a rather large cock roach in the meat.  Needless to say , I did not finish the burger, but man I was still hungry. I figure my brother either ate the roach and did not know it or he got lucky and did not have a friendly roach in his burger.

I guess that's what I get for ordering a burger at a "road side hut" in a foreign country.

Damn, I didnt know they had KRYSTAL hamburger places in Costa Rica!

Drinkin a coffee from a local deli and almost to the bottom something bumped into my lip. Pulled the cover off and low and behold there was a finger cot floating in the bottom of the cup. Hope it was not contagious!!

i was eating a saled in Canada and a huge  horse fly was in it.   of course.i told the waiter and he moved it to the other end of the table and let the plate sit there with a  fly on it for a good long while.  i was sick to my stomach after that.  DONT EAT CEASER SALEDS IN CANADA!

When I was a kid I found some glass in my food at the Ground Round.

Ate a piece of cherry pie and thought it tasted kind of musty. Examined the remainder of the pie and found the cherries under the crust had a mold layer on them.

At my friends house, picked up and took a drink from what I thought was my can of Coke. Nope! It was the can that had been sitting there for a month and had a slime/mold coat floating on the top. Shudder! yuck!

In a nice Italian place I found a small beetle in my salad.  When I pointed this out to our waiter he said "do you know how many times they wash that stuff.  That bug is probably cleaner than anything else you'll ever eat.  What do you want...another salad?"  I declined.

When I worked at a greasy spoon the meatloaf had a secret ingredient...Copenhagen...just a pinch..for bite.  Customers loved that stuff.  It honestly was really tasty.

A Korean dish. It was a kind of fish stew where the fish is simply cut into bite sized steaks. I blindly spooned one of these bite sized fish steaks into my mouth only to be gaging out a foul tasting brown paste. It turns out that the fish were not "cleaned". My Korean friend told me (after the fact) that I was supposed to remove the meat from around the guts then eat the fish and discard the remainder. Ain't learning about different cultures neat?

Cockroach.

Probably about 97% of restaurants need to be shut down due to health violations.  Especially those chi-com ones.

I also think restautant owners who do NOTHING about their pest problems should be publicly caned.  We put $$$$ in their pockets and they continue to serve dirty shit.  Unfortunately the number of dirty restaurants out number the health dept. inspectors.

There's one good thing that most counties in southern Cal. has adopted.  They have to publicly display their grade on a sign in front of their establishment.  This is not an absolute guarantee but it's a damm good start. And they can get their license pulled for failing to comply with guidelines.  I used to see a list of the violators on a website.  A lot of places were chi-com and Mexican.  KFC, Popeyes, Del Taco etc...

My cousin was eating all you can eat Buffalo wings and I saw a curly hair lying in there.  The chump working there didn't have curly hair.  Let me guess, he was taking a piss and didn't wash his hand.  It must have gotten stuck under his fingernails and came off in the wings.

What city was that Cheesecake Factory?

It happened a long time ago but I think it was the one in Marina del Rey, Also where I used to live.....

I ate half of the worm that lives at the bottom of a bottle of Mezcal (they say it's tequila but that stuff tastes so nasty I think it's sonoran goat piss).  That was after sharing the fifth of Mezcal with a fraternity brother.  That was before playing "Battlin Vikings" on the roof with garbage can lids and mop sticks.  That was before getting knocked off the roof of the fraternity house and breaking my ankle.  That was before sleeping all that night on a cold sidewalk.  That was before waking up the next morning to find my ankle the size of a softball. That was before throwing up on the sidewalk.  That was before getting high fives from everybody that walked by that morning.

Amazing what half of a little worm can do to ya.

Okay, I'll bite...
*I've had a couple encounters with nasty shit.
Once, I was eating some strawberries, and I bit half way into it and when I looked at the other half, there was a pincher bug (earwig) camping out inside of it alive! To this day, I have a tough time eating whole strawberries in those baskets. I have to cut them in half first. Of course, I was like 7 when that happened, so it was pretty scaring. I'm glad I didn't bite it in half.

*About a year ago, my wife and I had some Japanese food delivered. All was fine till the next day when we reheated left overs, and there was a catipillar in the steamed broccoli, I hope I didn't accidently eat any other ones. But you know the worm got cooked with the food, so you kind of got part of it. I haven't ate asian food since, I'm trying to talk myself back into it. I had to talk myself out of going down there...

*I was on the boardwalk of one of the local casinos in Laughlin Nevada, and these asian people were chasing a big water bug (giant 3 inch cockroach) down the walk way. I didn't stick around to see what they did with it, I thought them eating those things was just a myth?

Nasty...

Hold on to your dinners....

Kentucky Fried Chicken, The three piece, extra crispy meal.

I always pull off the crunchy part and eat that first, on my second piece of chicken(the breast)

I pull the skin off and there is a puss filled abscess there about the size of a silver dollar....

Note to self: Next time in Texas, don't eat in Garland.

My uncle while enjoying his Banquet Chicken found the breast(chest cavity) of a deep fried rat.

At least it was cooked. It was wasn't it?

A big black hair in a slice of pizza i bought at Fiesta Mall.

I don't think it was a pube.

My father always told me while I was growing up that a big jucy ant was better for you than a prime-rib steak. More protein too.

Was talking to a Mexican ex of mine who reminded me about eating a bullet-ant once. For all you who dont know what a Bullet-Ant is, its a nasty big guy who's sting is reported to feel like a gunshot wound. They're common to South and parts of Centeral America and are moving north. They are quite possibly the most painful stinging insect in the world. Narda, my ex, got stung in the cheek and was in the hospital for a week. The doctors told her mother that had it stung any further down in the digestive tract, it would have killed her...

The worse thing I ever find in my food was TOFU.


But seriously, I once was eating Mexican and found a dead baby roach in the rice.  But I was 2/3rds done with my dinner so no telling if I'd eated any.

Once in college a friend was eating her lunch at our cafeteria table and she pulled out a hard glob of chewed-up gum in her salad.  It was disgusting.
