found something in food..
so I had a bar of chocolate today.. think there was a twig in it.. well I "hope" it was a twig.. it's going off to the maker with a little "note"
it's chocolate with something else in,normally but if I saw it'd give the type.. it'll give you the maker.
I found a bit of bone in steak and kidney pie about hmm 8+ years ago,.
so what have you found in food that shouldn't have been there.. (again might regret this thread)

I've had one or two incidents with that sort of thing over the years, but I can't really remember the details - which I guess means it mustn't have been too traumatic, and I obviously didn't manage to turn it into a big payout. :(
Sister-in-law had a piece of glass in a tin of something or other a while ago and wrote to the retailer who offered her a refund. I'm sure she could have done much better than that, but I suppose you have to have a lawyer, and be bothered to follow it through to the bitter end.
there is industry percentage that is acceptable.
reminded me of this

Not surprised it made him feel ill - what made him decide to eat bread he got in 2009? Must be well off by now!
Mind you, I swear my nan had just the one giant jar of marmite for like 30 years, had a metal lid you see.
i have a can of star wars speghetti shapes from 1999. getting a bit rusty, hopefully someone will wanna buy it in 20 year. :p
I really should ban you for that....
Pic or it didn't happen :razz:
If there was two it might have been twix (ok that is really funny when it's said rather than read)
it's not a chocolate you can get in the UK.. ireland is/was maybe 6 years ahead of the UK with a certain brand... I think they use it as a testing ground for europe.. ironically. (I might have mentioned it here before.. like JD , I like this chocolate and it's probably a good thing I can't get it here or I'd be even heavier.l)
e.g. a relative who owned a shop gave me a box of 48 bars of a certain chocolate as a kid and all my mates were trying to find that type in the shop.hehe
ok i'll take a pic.. but I put it in sellotape as it's easy to lose.
Corn Dogs as well, I remember they got quite popular in the late 80's early 90's for a little while. I think when I was about 13 14 maybe I got a twin pack of Corndogs that was sealed and in date, but when I opened it up I was greeted with a crusty slimy mouldy mess. Once again I got a written apology from the company and a load of vouchers for free stuff from them? Once again after that I didn't really want to buy any more of them. They must've been an American company or a very small company cos' all the other things mentioned on the vouchers you just couldn't get them anywhere?
Nearly swallowed a sliver of broken glass that was in a bottle of Brown Ale once, that would've been a bit disasterous. Didn't get any freebies from Newcastle Breweries, but the shop I got it at did offer me 2 more bottles for free.
This time I took the deal :D
Worst one for me though was I was in town with a couple of mates, and we went to Greggs I got a cornis pasty and there was some kind of big greasy gristly lumpy stuff in it, and it didn't look like it came from a regular animal. I seemed like it may have been something that wasn't supposed to be in there. It was almost the entire filling. Well this coupled with the hangover resulted in me standing over a dustbin spewing. My best mate ended up throwing whatever he got away because of my plight, and one of my other pals stood there laughing at both of us. I don't think I've eaten a Greggs pasty since? Well except those sausage and bean things, looking forward to scoffing a load of those when I go home :D
I had something similar happen to me, I remember clear as day it was a pack of Rileys beef crisps. I opened it up started munching the crisps and noticed a ball of something at the bottom of the bag. so I digs it out, and it's a little potato absolutely caked in flavouring. Curious here had to taste it anyway. It was like having a whole jar of bovril shoved in your gob. Anyway since it was just a potato I just hoyed it away, and wasn't really that bothered.
All was going well until I went to pour in the milk from the carton and what appeared to be mouldy cottage cheese slopped out with an unholy stench that had me on the verge of Exocist puking.
The Milk came from the fridge.....THE FRIDGE!!!! The scuzzers I work with had kept it in there letting it go rancid and no one thought to chuck the rank mess out
Anyway, sorry that still rankles with me....feel free to get back on topic :lol:
we get an angry email every 6 months complaining about the state of our fridge.
one memorable time, the director of public health found some moldy cheese, he went ape ****. :-P
They were fine.

The fridge in the conference room is in immaculate condition, but of course that's cos' all the managers use it, sod the grunts.
It's always crap when you open a can of worms & its full of peas
Kitchen staff didn't give a sh*t.
They said it was boiled anyway. I prefer my grubs dry roasted though.

I'd have vaulted the counter, and stuffed it into one of their mouths, afterall it's boiled anyway, not gonna do them any harm.
Sounds like some your uni had some pretty crappy kitchen staff (Were they the Culinary Arts students? :lol:) :D
i thought your stock response was to put your bag over your head? :-P
Best canteen at Lufbra was when one of the SU canteens shut up shop and some of the Singaporean students took it over. Put in the proper jet-engine type wok burners for doing stir-fires to order. Really nice food then.

He kept one batch aside for the "Biryana?", of course this was never clearly labelled, or even put out of the way so you had no way of knowing if you were getting the right curry.
The only solution was to have pie n' mash instead or risk the wrath of chef :lol:
