luckee\'s thread on why we tip people got me thinking. Maybe this has been asked before but I am too lazy to check.
What\'s the most disgusting thing you ever found in your food at a restaurant? If you worked in the food service industry, did you see anything that would make the buying public cringe?
I once ordered some chicken fingers and I found what looked like a pubic hair deep fried into the batter. I could dangle the damn thing from this hair so I know it was cooked. :eek:

How did you know it was pubic?
-
At school, my friend found a used tissue in the hole of his bagel. It was funny. He said "What the F*** is this? This looks like a tissue."
-
personally i have never found anything out of the ordinary in my food, i guess thats because im a good customer and tip well ;).

PLEASE! Let\'s not get on the subject of tipping well again \'kay?
As for weird stuff in my food? I have never found anything in my food that I wouldn\'t let go down the hatch. Hell, it all goes to the same spot and comes out lookin pretty much like, well, chit!;)
-
Let\'s see...
- I\'ve found hairs plenty of times. I lost count on those.
- Took a girl out to dinner once, ordered pizza and found a baked fly on it.
- Same as above (same girl even, different place) had some other kind of bug.
That is what I remember right off the bat, not to mention all the hairs I can think of indivuially. I found another one just the other day at Mcdonalds.
GO figure.
-
Many hairs in diff. places.
Once found a bug in fettucinni(sp?)
-
I\'ve heard people have found a OX eye in a meat pie here in aus... I\'ll never eat a four\'n twenty again.
Also someone once ate a McDonalds Mc Chicken burger and it had a tumor with a huge pus ball. This chick took a bite out of it and had to go to hospital to get her stomic pumped..... I\'ll never eat mc\'ers again.
-
A guy found a screw in a steak one time, don\'t know how it go there but it was weird.
-
Hairs are just protein. If they were cooked, just pull them out and you\'ll live :)
-
Can\'t say I\'ve ever found anything in my food. And I worked in a Restaurant for a while and never saw anything happen too wierd.

McDonalds is quality food.. Hey what\'s a hair or pus ball to the great taste of McCrap.
You guys wanna taste something REALLY good. Order a Bigmac and ask for NO SAUCE. Ohh you\'ll love the only FAT taste it has.
-
Or you could go to Wendy\'s and get better food :)

My mother will not eat at restaurant and now I think I know why.

I used to work at KFC (back in the day).. Lets just say i will never eat there potato and gravy. Once u know what it\'s made from. You won\'t wanna too.
-
What\'s it made from? I never eat it anyway, but I\'m curious.
-
I once got a pizza from the local pizza delivery shop on the way home from the pu. WhenI got it home, I opened the box, took a slice out, and just as I was lifting it to my mouth, I felt something sticky underneath the pizza base.
I turned it over and found a big lump of used chewing gum stuck ALL over the base.
Naturally I took it back the day after, once I had sobered up and my hangover had gone and gave them a right mouthful.
Didn\'t get my money back though, so I told them that they could stick their pizza\'s up their arses in future.
-
Once I went to taco bell and I found a fingenail in my burrito...I hope it was a fingernail anyway that\'s the last time I ate from there.
-
I one time was eating BBQ\'d cat and it actually had a hair in it.
I was so repulsed I had to put the cat down. Why can\'t people wear hairnets? That\'s all I ask!!
-
I once found vegetables in my food ewwwwww
green and other colors....ewwwwwww
:p
-
one time at the restaurant my bro was workin at (years ago) they got a case of lettuce that was infested with black beetles. No one noticed until 3 simultaneous screams came from all corners of the joint.
this is different, but one time I cracked open a bottle of Labatt Ice and took a chug. Only to discover that it was filled with a petroleum product of some kind (kerosene, gasoline, deisel fuel... I couldn\'t tell...) I got violently ill (I was two sheets to the wind to begin with) then I soaked a rag in it and lit it on fire.
True story.
-
:D Awww yeah. Have I got some stories to tell about this subject. Hmm.. two of the grossest... this is gonna be a tough call. Ok, here goes. I used to work for a poultry plant out here called Maple Leaf Farms/Serenade Foods. You mightta seen their Chicken Nugets, Kiev\'s, Cordon Bleus, Patties, and what not on your local grocery store shelves. If you ever at duck at a chineese resturant.. there\'s a damned good chance it came out of my plant.
Oh.. crap.. jus thought of another one.. ok ya get three stories.
1. On the production floor we have this machine called the WolfKing with grinds up the chopped meat into a paste and cools it with concentrated blasts of Co2 so that it dosen\'t stick to the inside of the Vemag which makes lil meat "tubes" and injects them with cheese and butter. Well, we were running behind one week because they had been trying out this new Xray machine which they couldn\'t get to work. (Bots, Nuts, Shear pins, odd pieces of metal are commonly find they\'re way into the meat) Anyhow, we were busting a$$ on production and didn\'t have enough time to thouruly check out the WolfKing after Sanitation left. Seems they hadn\'t been cleaning it out properly for god knows how long.. and lil bits of fat, skin, meat, and other tissue would work it\'s way up into the gears and would rot. Since Sanitation didn\'t put the machine back together right, there was a small gap between the auger and the side of the tank. All that nasty black rotten chicken gunk which had been rotting for all that time started seeping out into the batch. This stuff was pure death concentrate.. and they let it go because we had orders to fill.
2. This one I dunno for sure if it really happened because I wasn\'t there at the time. We had a girl working over on the Formax, which is basically like a mini-WolfKing.. cept it also mixes Soy into the batch for when we\'re doing Econoline. Well, This girl wasn\'t paying attention and still had her hand on the rim of the tank when she went to shut the hydrolic lid. Crushed her entire hand almost to the point where it had to be amputated. (They saved it tho..) I imagine a good deal of blood went into the mix, but I also heard some bits of flesh and bone snuck it\'s way into it too. Management didn\'t think that it was enough to scrap an entire 800lb batch for.
3. When I was working in the oven room, we\'d always have a real problem with chemical contamination. Well, it was never proven.. but you could see it with your own eyes. The ovens I was using were these old delapadated models with would constantly jerk the rack violently or kick the chains which spun em off. Well, the floors of these ovens were just concrete slabs sittin on bare earth. They weren\'t a part of the room in general. So as the racks are getting slung back and forth, all that grease from inside would spill out and seep down into a mucky recess pool underneith the concrete slabs. Not only that, but Santitation would hose the place down every night before I got in.. so you have.. god.. I dunno how many YEARS of industrial cleaners, duck fat, water, and caustic acids collected up underneith these ovens jus rotting and stewing.. plus whatever was in the ground underneith that found it\'s way up like various bugs, chemicals that seeps into the ground off the roadway, herbicides for the lawn.. ect. Well when you go to push a 600lb rack onto one of those slabs, all that nasty sh*t would well up from benient and bake in there with the duck. It\'d get so bad, that about every five minuites I\'d have to go in there and squeegie down the floor cause that blackish/brownish/greenish ooze would flood out from under the oven an cover the floor. When you\'d open up the ovens, a thick cloud of searing hot steam would pour out smelling like.. ugh.. I dunno what.. but it wasn\'t smellin like duck I can tell ya that. On the ducks themselves you\'d find thick black streaks of this.. whatever it is.. all over them when they were done cooking. And this is barring the few times the company didn\'t REALLY screw up.. like the time they patched the floor with this cheap azz compound that would peel up and stick to the wheels of the racks and bake in there with the ooze and ducks.
Now, after all that.. think about this. Our plant was what our USDA officer called a "USDA Dream". (Course, she was only there for 2 hours a night and never saw even a quarter of the stuff that was going on) I believe her tho. If you only saw the stuff I pulled out of the SYSCO (chicken breast) boxes in one night. Ugh.. Hemostats, gloves, hairnets, chunks of wood, wads of used chewing gum, pens, paper.. it wasn\'t pretty. From what I hear.. that\'s a regular occurance too.
So the next time you feel like complaining about a hair on your food... don\'t blame the resturant. Think of where that food has been and all the nasty stuff that\'s happened to it before it even got to the resturaunt. That lil hair.. is nothing. You have no idea what you\'re puttin in your mouth.
Oh, and BTW: Did I ever tell you guys about the bathrooms in that place? About how the mexicans would poop in the corners or in the sink and wipe with their hands.. then going back to work without even washing them thoroughly? Oh god.. how they ever got away with leaving their bathrooms in that shape I\'ll never know. Here\'s a fun lil game to play at work that the mexicans I\'ve worked with used to love. Take a big juicy crap.. wipe your butt.. and then stick the TP to the wall to see who\'s feces is the most adhesive. Take bets on who\'s poop will fall off first for added excitement.

Boy, I\'d say you sure know how to have fun...
Those were some yummy stories. I think I am going to have some celery for dinner.
Anyone have any celery stories?
-
I once bought celery that was firm and green :eek:
-
I found a worm in my food. I have also found a hair of some kind on my pizza.
-
I\'m glad I ate dinner first before reading SonyFan\'s fun little Mexican game.

My brother once ordered a salad at an IHOP and it had a LIVE beetle crawling around in it. And it was a quarter-sized one, not one of those little guys.

*shudders* it would suck to be a beetle, but for it to be alive must have sucked major balls.:(

A girl friend of mine found roach eggs in her taco from Taco Bell. She had eaten it, and it did some heavy damage to her mouth.
Then the lawsuit came, and she got money.

How much?
-
Yeah. It\'s bad when people sue for stupid things but finding roach eggs is a definite for sueing.
-
"Oh, I think I\'ll drive with a scalding cup of coffee between my thighs."
:rolleyes:
-
I found a big grasshopper in a glass of peas.
So I wrote a letter to the company and got lots of free stuff.
-
This one time my school poisoned me. Yeah, I got pizza for lunch one day, about an hour and a half after lunch I stood up in the classroom, went to the teachers desk and asked if i could go to the nurse, well...i didn\'t make it out the door without throwing up. Then i threw up twice down the hallway, both all over the sides of garbage cans that i missed. Ahh, fun stuff that was.
-
Now I come to think about it, my Mum found a piece of dirty twine/string in a bar of chocolate. She took the bar back to the shop where she bought it from, and they told her to send it back to the company itself.
She decided that she would do this. A few weeks later, she got a reply back, and do you know what was inside? £2. The tight-arsed scrotes didn\'t appreciate that if my Mum had done them a BIG favour by sending it back to them instead of kicking up a right stink. Later she found that had she gone to seek legal advice, she could have got a lot more money.
But then that\'s my Mum for you, too honest and good natured for her own good sometimes.
The motto of this, is this.
If you have been inconvenienced by a company\'s professional incompitence, don\'t go quietly, make yourself heard. If they think that they will come out of the ordeal with a tarnished reputation, they will bend quicker than George Michael & Elton John at a homosexual gang bang convention.

Welp, It\'s mainly made out of the chicken fat, crap and whatever else falls into the pressure cookers. There\'s a fine collector at the bottom of each cooker, Every close the cooks had to clean the cookers. drain them completely. and whatever was left in the bottom of the fine collector was drained of oil etc. and the §hit left over was then collected into bags to be used for gravy. Now, i\'ve found a lot of toys in these collectors.. MELTED ones at that...
There\'s been things in there that i couldn\'t even tell what they were. But what happens is teh fines get stored. When they are needed a host would take the fines, a bag of powered crap. and boil them together with water. Then they would run it through a sifter to get rid of the lumpy crap. The Potato is just a power and water together. No real potatos there. :)
Also good to see how half the cooks used to sweat into the flower that they use to bread up the chicken. Even saw cooks with cuts on there figures not wearing any gloves. Or bandaids falling into the cookers or in the flower.. it was sick. Another really bad thing i saw was cooks sneezing onto the chicken after they were bringing it out of the cookers.. "you u like slime with your chicken sir?"
-
Another thing i saw. Was some cooks would get burnt on the side of a cooker. They would then scrap of there skin into the oil.. for all the lovely people to eat.. I do not eat at takeaway food places anymore. Not anyones that use oil anyway.
At one time i was burnt really badly on my hand. They wanted to me continue to work. I told them to Screw themselfs and left. Half the time i refused to go to work because of burns..
-
THAT\'S IT, i am never ever evvver eating anything from these fast food joints or any other restraunt for that matter.(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.westwoodi.net%2F%7Esmilies%2Fcwm%2Fcwm%2Fpuke.gif&hash=356028777c68f9396d8baf88f5dd52e405c2ff29)
/me pukes all over the place.
-
Lol @ Tyrant.
But these stories make me glad I\'m never eating at such places. :)
-
We\'ll I work at a restaurant and we a perfectly clean.
-
Yeah, but like I said Billy.. even tho your resturaunt is totally clean.. where was that food before it got shipped to you? What was the factory that it was processed in look like?
Take SoulGrinds story.. and couple it with mine.
Trust me folks.. nothing you eat is ever perfectly clean and sanitary. The food industry thrives on the notion that.. "Ignorance is bliss".
-
Well it\'s best said that people who work at fast food places never eat from them....if you actually experience how the food is made...ewww
-
Well, I dunno about that. I still eat at Noble Romans even after seeing blood from the deli meat being spilled on the pizza dough, seeing only the big pieces of mold being picked outta the cheese while leavin the lil crusty and half-green pieces left in there, after seeing trays of sausage which have putrid fat 1/8 of an inch thick lining them cause noone washes em, after seeing slimey 2 week old ham being put on special order pizza.
I guess you just get to the point where you just don\'t care anymore... cause it\'s all nasty when you really think about it. You can\'t get away from it.. so why try? *shrugs*
-
The most disgusting thing in food ive ever got was, well it was the food sorta.....there was this place called medievil time and its a play sorta thing with knights and they serve you medievil type food. The chicken they gave out had to be about 99.9% fat and 1% bone, I mean there was absolutly NO meat on it. It was horrible although the games the knights played were good.
-
Medievil Times? Like in the Cable Guy?
-
Medievil Times is awesome. Get the ribs if you go. They kick arse.
-
I went on a school trip a while back. We went to a buffet and pretty much half the band got food poisoned from mac and cheese. I ate it and was fine. I got an iron stomach. At lax camp, I made this interesting dish. I was full so I mixed my vanilla pudding, Jello, salt, pepper, oj and soda and ate a spoonful. It tasted bad but I didn\'t really have a stomach ache.
-
Thats odd..out of the 7 odd times I went..the cornish hen\'s were always great..little fat..great meat. I love that place..can\'t wait to go back home so I can check them out again.
