"Actually, I found a chicken comb........." LOL! I did have one experience with foreign objects in food. When I lived in Phoenix, there was a Mexican burrito joint a few blocks from work. I'd eaten there on several occasions as the food was decent for three or four dollars. The last time I ate there I ordered a chicken burrito, brought it back to the office and proceeded to munch. About three bites in, I glanced down at the burrito and noticed a brownish oval object buried within the lettuce. Upon further examination I found three more brownish oval objects and also discovered they had legs. They were young cockroaches, about 3/8 of an inch long. I immediately turned to the wastebasket at my desk and hurled, not in a quiet manner I might add, which drew immediate looks of horror from a few of my co-workers who had also gone there for lunch. I gathered up the remainder of my chicken burrito AND the wastebasket and returned there to display the burrito, emptied the contents of my wastebasket on their counter, and in a booming voice shouted, "I FOUND THREE $%&#;ING COCKROACHES IN MY CHICKEN BURRITO!" There were perhaps fifteen people in the establishment eating, chattering away about whatever people chat about during lunch. Needless to say, the place became instantly silent. I didnt ask for my money back. I didnt have to. The shock Id instilled upon the establishment was payment enough. Those in line waiting to order vacated the premises immediately.
