Roach leg floating in my...

[Mousebaby]

The average manager would probably reimburse at least a portion of the meal just to keep the person quiet and prevent a scene. :shrug:


What I don't understand is... why allow your daughter to continue eating if you were so ?

It didn't seem to bother her in the least and I didn't want to make a scene. If I had explained to her that there might be bugs in her food she would have lost her little mind! Not to mention I had to wait for the girl to bring me the check anyway so I was kinda stuck! :shrug:

Well, I WAS eating a bowl of fruit, but now I'm not!

You know, I had another thought about that study: Some folks may consider 'organic' vegetables, etc. or growing stuff on their own so they "know where it's been".

But think, even organically-grown foods need to use some sort of bug control, and they are likely being processed by similar machinery than all the other foods.

And if you think mass-produced foods are bad, your kitchen is probably home to many more bacteria and the like.

Ultimately, if you haven't become violently ill yet... you probably won't. :shrug:

I heard about this a long time ago and thought my friends were crazy. Seeing numbers on it... I still don't think there is anything to go over.

Using the peanut butter example, their sample size was 100g. 100g = 3.53 oz. The average person probably uses only about .75 oz on one sandwich, which would come out to ~12 fragments/sandwich.

This may still sound like a lot, but they don't define what a "fragment" is. Something microscopic is probably not much of a threat. And notice, they did not test for bacteria counts on the "fragments"; odd, considering that is what would actually make someone sick.

I think it's also funny how they discussed bug recipes. Eating a cooked, prepared bug is rather different than eating one that, 5 minutes ago was crawling on the floor, and somehow ended up losing a leg in one's food.

This makes me wonder about my choice of the natural peanut butter that I consume regularly.



Okay, enough wondering.

You must have been checking it though, eh?

 

[Mousebaby]

You must have been checking it though, eh?

You got that right

 

[hvp05]

You got that right

When you first found the leg you should have approached them with, "Can I get a box for this? I think my cats would enjoy it as a toy."

I come from the hood, we ate roaches by accident a lot of times. Sometimes from the area restaurants. But, I wouldn't play that shiat today. Be sure to report it to the Health Department.

It's really just protein, but I don't want to see it.

Also, may I take this time to mention that you love to eat crabs?

Bugs are organic, thus they are fine.

TEA!!! I ate my lovely lunch and asked for a second glass of tea and when she finally showed up with it I saw something floating in it, it was a bug leg!

It's ok, you probably swallowed the other half before you saw that.

NOPE, I had not even took a sip of the tea, THANK GOD!

I wonder what Elaine would have done in this situation.

I'm sure she would own the company by now.

I just saw this and I won't tell you how many of those items I have in the kitchen right now. What to do?


Thanks a lot, Wenchy.

You know I heard a few years ago someone compare a Lobster to a Cockroach based on the level of scavenger it was. It took me a while to eat lobster, of course I can't afford a whole one but man was it good.

Oh and another thought is that sewage is handled by scavenger companies. Hopefully, it's just a play on words.

TEA!!! I went to Applebee's for lunch today.

Is it a seasonal treat or did they charge you extra?

 

[Kyle]

It's still better than finding a very long human hair in your nachos. Right, RoseRed?

What about short & curly's?
