  OMG! I am so glad you didn’t show a picture! that would just make me puke. The worst I have had is earwigs in my lettuce. I didn’t have to pay either. In Pendleton’s case, I would have insisted on counseling for the rest of my life. And I would never ever eat out again. E.V.E.R.

  I suppose we don’t eat out often enough.. either that, or we eat too fast when we do eat out to even notice…

  We were eating out at a local restaurant when a spider crawled out of my salad. I scooted the little guy over to the edge of the plate and continued eating my salad. When the server came by we brought the spider to her attention. I’m not sure what freaked her out more the spider or me finishing my plate. We got our meals free.

  I drank a cup of milk to find a cigarette butt in the bottom of it. I won’t say where… cause it’s a popular, reputable place… and the owner is a super cool guy. I know it was a freak deal, and it’s never stopped me from eating there again.

  I think I was too hungover to really care, and never even said anything.

  Red Lobster in CDA… a bug the size of my thumb nail crawled out of the salad….. I got ahold of the gal and she said. oh.. that was it… she asked if she could get me something else. I told her no, as it took me 10 minutes to get ahold of her, and my husband had finished over half of his meal… and by that time, I had lost my appetite. She brought the bill, and said, oh, I didn’t charge for your meal… well, duh…. I didn’t get to eat it.
  The more I thought about it, the maddier I got, on the way home. Contacted Red Lobster on line. Got 4 $5 cert. And a phone message from the manager on my phone… and said next time it happens (?) to get ahold of the manager! next time? Found out two others had the same thing happen to them that same day.
  My husband still teases me about it and that happen 4 years ago.

  That reminds of the person that put a finger tip in her chili in hopes of getting big bucks form Wendy’s.

  As a vegetarian finding meat in my food was odd. Since I have been vegan I haven’t been eating in restaurants.

  I have to agree with Walkabout, we just don’t eat in restaurants anymore period. Sad in a way, but our bodies are defintely temples, think about what you put in to them.

  As for being a vegetarian, anything found in our meal that is an animal product is offensive. It has happened on occasion, hence our feeling of not going out anymore. Sad, but very true. I know most of you just might say get over it, but a true vegetarian would never put up with such things.

  Stick. Don’t they have vegetarian restaurants around Cda? That might be a business opportunity if there aren’t. I know other folks that are veggies too. Who knows?

  Have you ever found something odd in the food served to you at a restaurant?

  Depends on your definition of odd. Marrying in to a culture other than American, I have to say that the first year together was interesting to say the least!!! Live foods, foods that prior to my marrage would have been considered bait or animal chow, and other fare that would cause most red blooded country folk to turn green are normal meals in our household. I will say that bugs are not and have never been on the menu.

  HMO; There are some, but my wife is a vegan, so the choices are very far and few. We just don’t go anymore, and like I said, sad. Most things are cooked in animal fat or you just don’t know, hence our staying at home and doing our own thing. Some vegetarians claim they are such, but they eat fish and think that is the proper thing. Fish are meat, sorry. They have eyeballs and children, so don’t claim you are vegetarian when you eat fish and chicken. Not so. Just because you don’t eat beef doesn’t make you a vegetarian. We are happy with what we do, though obviously we are a minority. Be we are happy with that.

  ‘Be’. No.’But ‘we are happy with that. It’s late, and my English goes by the wayside. Sorry for that, but most get my point.
