Food nightmares

IronGiant

I'm still amazed anything of terrestrial origin could live in a jar of branston pickle...

Imagine if they only told you the factory burned down, and the truth was they nuked the site from orbit, it was the only way to be sure...

Balut... ergh.

I once started to eat a peach and had a big earwig come out of it, and as a kid, that freaked me out.

Also as a kid, I found an old fossilized chocolate bar that had been under my bed for months, and I broke it open only to have a huge maggoty sort of pupae fall out from the middle - it had made it's home in the chocolate, you see.

could have been worse , you might have found only half an earwig

I don't have words for the chocolate part of your story sorry

SBT

That happens in restaurants/takeaways everyday

Forgot to mention, but it turned out the earwig had eaten into the peach from the top where it was attached to the tree, so now I examine all fruit for holes that shouldn't be there before I bite into them. Lesson learned.

I love humus but once found a midge stuck in it. Didnt eat it but put it back in the fridge [for someone else to eat], a few days later it had gone, hopefully nobody had ingested it but nothing happened anyway . Can't stand the bugs, especially when in summer at about face height they seem to float around in 'bushes' of about a doses each. Try to whack them with something, the 'bush' or 'cloud' just moves to another part of the garden. What have midges got to do with food nightmares? When they 'get stuck in' of course!

Surprised no-one has mentioned Balut yet. I'm fairly open minded when it comes to food, but even the thought of it makes me want to hurl.

Vile !

I always peel and trim Spring Onions so that there's bugger all left on them now as I've found quite a few dead flies (?) trapped in between the outer and inner layers.

I cringe when I see other people not checking their spring onions when they're preparing a meal I might eat !
