Ok lets hear em', we've all had them. What is your worst dining experience. Maybe you found a bug in your food,chewing gum in your soup.

Here is mine although its not that bad.
I was at Tigard Cinemas back in 1993 watching Jurassic Park. Was eating my tub of popcorn, when all of the sudden I spit something out of my mouth, a nice shiny Penny. I was so irritated I wanted to go back and scream at the snack bar counter, but I figured they never would have believed me.
whats yours???

This is not bad but my wife and I were in the movies and it was dead quiet. All I heard was her spitting out her reeses and just saying gross. She had peeled the wrapper of and bit into it and it was crunchy. She thought she had bitten into a bug inside of it and spit it out. Upon further inspection the candy had two wrappers on it and she was munching on the wrapper! I was LMAO on that one and she got pissed at me for laughing! BAD MISTAKE....never ever laugh at your wife no matter how funny the situation.....just sympathise with her for your own good!

My girlfriend found a fake fingernail in her salad. When we told the waitress about it, she just said "Oh, we don't make the salads here"
and walked away.

On an equally gross note, I heard someone found a rat baked into a loaf of bread a few years ago.

My mother went out to dinner with me and found a spring not unlike what you would find on a ballpoint pen baked into the damned thing.

Do you guys have one of those relatives whose house you just dread going to cause they always want you to stay for dinner and the food is just god awful? I think everyone must have one of those. Aw won't you stay for dinner.....we are having HAGGIS for dinner.

For those not familiar with HAGGIS:

Recipe:
1 sheep's stomach
1 sheep heart
1 sheep liver
1/2 lb suet, fresh (kidney leaf fat is preferred)
3/4 c oatmeal
1 ts salt
1/2 ts pepper
1/4 ts cayenne
1/2 ts nutmeg
3/4 c stock
Wash stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing.

Cover heart and liver with cold water, Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking.

Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting. Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon.

Mmm, yummy.

I ought to make that next time "aunt and uncle-in-law" in Hawai'i invite themselves over to our place as they do at least no fewer than six times per year, each year...........

Consider it a case of "irritated Nephew's revenge".

Can't possibly be as bad as "Tofurkey" on Thanksgiving tho!!

1. I'm not sure I can read anymore on this thread, I almost lost my cookie-dough on the fingernail post.

(But I wish you guys would do us a favor and tell where these things happened so I NEVER go there.)

I've had two incidents at Thien Hong on 68th and Sandy involving "wildlife", but after about a year, I had to return, the lure of the awesome pepper-salted-squid was too strong, and it's been fine ever since. I just don't wear my glasses.

2. Moto, you need to go to Hawai'i six times per year, and invite us along for free lodging. I had people I'd never met, or even knew were coming ("friends of friends"), show up at my door in Park City Utah, to ski, party hard at the fun bars, and/or go to the Sundance Film Festival. The single male visitors were always welcome, of course.

This thread is like a car wreck, I can't not look.

Well you don't need to....just look out in your driveway for that. LOL

Sorry could not resist!

This is a goofy one that's kind of related.

My youngest does not eat anything not processed and nearly force fed to him. He's better now, but it used to be pretty ugly.

We went to a resturant and ordered some food for him, he was maybe 5 at the time.

My wife, knowing better than to actually try something new in a public place, went for the trusty grilled cheeze sandwich. Never failed before, so we thought we were safe.

After my wife completed the order, the waitress read it back and my son yelled, "NOT GIRLS CHEEZE, BOYS CHEEZE --I'M A BOY!" Must have been the accent, we never could figure it out.

She dropped her pen and we could see it took a lot for her to keep from just laughing at him. Instead, she gathered her wits about her, picked up the pen and said, "No problem sir, a BOYS CHEEZE sandwich it is!"

True story! Infact this happend about 10 years ago to a very famous pizza chain that is no longer in portland. The owner was caught clipping his toe nails and putting them in the pizza dough.

Lets just say the "toenail supreme" didn't go over very well!

I also have a friend who claimed she saw a pubic hair in her Taco Bell burrito. Stay away from Taco Bell, I've heard way too many horror stories from that place. The worst one was the disgrunteled employee who pooped in the beans. Trust me that was no rumor!

Hah "Thrice-baked beans" ... I think I'll pass.

My first manager with Domino's Pizza, back some 15 years ago when I was a young Sparky, had this issue with having to get even with absolutely everyone who pissed him off. If a customer called and complained, he would write down their name and address and phone number, and if they ordered again he would do some nasty act to their pizza ... needless to say he got fired.

I'm not sure if it was for that, or trying to trade 300 pizzas for a new car, or the sexual harassment of underage females that worked for us ...

Merkin~

I have never been to Hawai'i myself (relatives actually come *here* to the Coove, mainly as a way-point for ski trips and other excursions in the Mainland......then spend about two weeks here again afterward before putting the truck back in storage and heading back home for the next month or so before inviting themselves here again.)

But I want to go some day...can't right now, single young college student living in a crappy apartment and still trying to pay-off payments, truck repairs etc. I hear it's incredibly beautiful there...........

Uncle hates Motocross tho...I think that's a deadly sin upon itself!!

(Now, what was that thing again about disgusting food??)
