The worst food thing that has ever happened.

[Fuckmeupthearseandrogerme]

This is proper gross, much worse than when I ate a crumpet and then looked at the one left in the pack and found it was riddled with mould, in fact it is so awful that I will leave a space so you can choose not to read. If you do read have you ever had anything as awful and if so have you got over it?

I cracked a free range egg into my pan and it had a half formed dead chick in it. Turns out not so dh had left the box in his van for two weeks before putting into fridge, van evidently warm enough to start the process. not envy

Have you had anything worse?

I, um, quite like duck tongues. Had them on skewers with duck hearts.

I once, when living alone, had cooked some roast pork and the following night got home from work and stuck the leftovers in the microwave. I was eating while working so not paying full attention but realised, I think in time but I can’t be sure, that part of the meat had a thick layer (about 2cm) of fly eggs across it. There were a lot of flies around and it must have been attacked while it cooled the day before without me noticing. That was grim.

If the eggs are from a farm shop or hobby keeper then there is every chance they could be fertile. BUT the fault here was not the DHS. Chicken eggs need to be turned every 6-8 hours or the embryo rises to the top of the egg , sticks to the shell and dies right away. So if there was a half formed chick inside the mother hen had incubated the egg for at least a week/ten days and the keeper had likely not noticed her sitting on it. Then it was taken and accidentally boxed up.

My brother in law grew up on a small holding in walls and often talks about the horror of cracking an egg and finding a chick inside.

In certain countries they eat fermented partially developed duck eggs, called balut. Apparently the bones are still soft and the feathers have an interesting texture.

Drinking the bottom of my brew and swallowing something large and slimy. Don’t know what it was and didn’t want to🤢

As a child, woke in the night thirsty, decided to sip from my cold cup of "bedtime" tea I'd forgotten, in the dark , all well until my nose was gently bopped by a drowned mouse.

I've had a burger with cardboard inside it, and a takeaway with a pubic hair in it 🤮

Not me but once read about someone that had found a large tumour in the flesh of a cooked rotisserie chicken. 😭🤢

Oh and another who had found a whole eyeball with eyelashes in tow when cutting into a block of tinned corned beef.

Now I would only ever eat the pre-sliced stuff after reading that!

This thread is likely to be the one thing in the world that can reduce my appetite. I don’t even want a bacon butty for breakfast!

Mine was chopping up lettuce to find a slug alive and crawling.

But the worst was when I was 16 and working in a well known Italian American food chain restaurant. The chef was annoyed with a customer so dipped his dick in their food. Didn't see it happen but that's what I was told. This restaurant was absolutely disgusting the staff would regularly dip their fingers in people's food before serving. I never eat in that restaurant chain and it makes me cringe whenever someone tells me they went for a family meal at that chain as the food and staff hygiene standards were just disgusting.

We had a chick in an egg as well. Organic eggs bought from a supermarket in Spain on self catering holiday.
Apart from the shock. The smell was appalling, stench of death.

Since then I don't buy organic eggs. Sorry chucks.

Aren't eggs meant to be candled to avoid the whole dead chicken thing? I assume it's not actual candles these days.

A loop-the-loop caterpillar looping happily on my salad, nearly ate it, but spotted it in time!! And, exploding Orange juice. I put a large bottle of Orange juice by the side of the freezer, and forgot about it. It's quite warm at the side of the freezer, and it had been there for a while. My Son picked it up, and it exploded!! Covering him, and the kitchen in orange juice that was very off!! He burst into tears, so I cuddled him, and spent hours cleaning up. I was very careful about that space by the freezer after that.

The way you've phrased it, the caterpillar sounds very cute!

My friend has an m & s duck that they incubated and hatched from purchased eggs.

Not just any duck but an m & s duck. He's very posh you know.

SquirrytheSquirrel, the caterpillar was very cute!! I still sent it back for a loop-free salad 😊

My friends mum made it in the papers in the 90s after a Brazilian wandering spider jumped out of a bunch on bananas at her in the supermarket.

I was eating a cheese and onion pasty bought from the place at London Waterloo station.

I found a pube in my mouth from the pasty.

Also eating a scone in a garden centre cafe and found a blue plaster in the middle of it.

I found a live slug in my refrigerator after a delivery of cauliflower (among other items) from Amazon Fresh. The invader was treated to copious amounts of salt.

Ok this thread is going to be saved to reread if I ever get tempted to cheat on my diet. Totally put off food forever now.

Several decades ago, I gave our cats half a can of a paste-style tinned cat food. They didn't eat it. My XH had a thing about food waste. He acknowledged afterwards that the sandwich he made with the remainder of the can hadn't been very nice, though he'd managed to eat all of it.

I once served a tin of vegetable soup for lunch. Unfortunately, the small caterpillar landed in my vegetarian friend's bowl instead of mine and they spotted it before I did.

A worm in a fried egg - haven't been able to eat eggs since.

A wierd dried up worm inside a Cashew nut.

My parents grew those wierd little Kale sprout hybrids in their garden a few years ago.... Every single one had at least one caterpillar inside it! Also organic brocolli is always riddled with caterpillars.

Once when I was a teenager I was doing some painting for my art homework. I'd been sat there a while and realised I was quite thirsty so picked up my glass of orange squash and took a huge glug only to discover it was the water for rinsing my paint brush, not orange squash at all. In fact I hadn't even made an orange squash

@DingDingTriangle DB woke in the night and went for a glass of squash. Picked up a bottle and poured away, took a glug to find it was cooking oil.

When I was five years old we came home from a hot day and I saw a large cup on the table. Thinking it was water I took it in both hands and had a gulp but it was gin and tonic. I spat it all out and my mum took it away.
