--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generally speaking, I am a lover of food. And over the course of my life, I've eaten many strange and, sometimes, wonderful things. Hell, I still enjoy the occasional bowls of menudo for breakfast...(when it's fresh, with a little extra onion, oregano, and a squeeze of lemon... OMG!)

That being said, there are some things I would rather NOT eat if I don't have to. Take my recent experience in the UK....

The setting:
It's been a long morning of training. System problems have kept us on edge and we are pushing through as best we can. I'm frustrated, tired, and hungry....

I head to the cafateria and order a double BLT. I'm looking forward to it as I haven't had a BLT in a while and I do so love them....

@ First Glance:
I take a big bite of my sandwhich and as I set it down, I notice what appears to be a sauteed mushroom stuck to the bread. No big deal... I like mushrooms...

A closer look:
As I am setting the sandwhich down, the "mushroom" falls off and then does something no mushroom I have ever seen do...it straightens out and starts to crawl...
That's right, ladies and gents, it was not a shroom but a slug. I closed the lid, took it back, and got a refund. But not before my co-worker snapped this pic of me and my slug...

the Pic:

I look like crap, but that's because I was coming off of a night/morning of drinking with some Scotts... fond mammories..errr...I mean memories!!! But that's another story for another day... /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

hehe, an accountant here had a similar problem. He ordered a chicken salad which was delivered to the office. And he found several wormlike creatures in the lettuce. Nothing that big, but several of them...

DAMN..!

How the fuck does a slug end up in a BLT..!!?!?!?!

Damn, and I just ate one of those last week, my mom made it...Lovely sandwich...And slug free too..! Too funny st4..!

I've found small slugs and snails in salad bars in cheap restaurants. It comes from not inspecting the lettuce and other veggies before you use them. At least you didn't find half a "mushroom"! LOL

that's the way, forget ordering it where you can't see it being made. Either make it yourself, or have it made by someone you know that knows how to cook good!

I sometimes get stuff from the refectory at the university, but I never touch any chilli sauce since it is 4 day-old spaghetti sauce spiced up....or chicken that has no bones (I don't eat that processed fake shit).......thank bloody goodness they don't have live creatures in their food :shock:
