    What Has Been Your Nastiest Food-related Experience?

    Mine was biting into a lovely ripe plum, only for about six large and very alive earwigs to run out of it, over my hand. Cue girly scream and hasty fetching of vacuum cleaner.

      Since the summers are so brutal in Phoenix, you have to store your dry goods either in Tupperware or freezer or refrigerator for fear of getting weevils. I was making dinner and opened a box of rice-a-roni I had stored in my pantry because I had forgotten to keep it stored properly, and the weevils almost JUMPED out of the box! I almost dropped the box on the floor but managed to get it into the trash. That's when I decided not to keep anything like that in the pantry...yuk!

      The last two weeks of Ranger School is survival and military tactics, and the nastier something is the more points you get for graduation. So I would grab a live snake by the tail and snap him like whip, snapping his head off, Indian trick, then eat him raw! One time I caught a Cotton mouth (very poisonous), bent his neck and bit his head off and ate him raw! I got a lot of points for that!

      1: Eating a Sunday roast, had a piece of cauli with a maggot on it same colour.
      2: Strawberry, take bite, look at strawberry, half strawberry half maggot. The guy I was desperately trying to impress, got the strawberry maggot and my stomach contents down his lovely white shirt.
      3: Drinking a cup of coffee at my daughters house. Feel something in mouth. Spit it in cup, a drowned bluebottle floating.

      I have learned my lesson everything I eat and drink is now thoroughly inspected...Excuse me whilst I run to the bathroom...

      Again, hilarious and disgusting at the same time! (Of course it's only funny because it didn't happen to me.) Ain't life grand? :)

      In Colorado, humidity is low, so we have fewer opportunities for food spoilage, I think. If I had ever had the same experience of Harka, I don't think I would ever again eat fruit anything. It would just gross me out too much. Yeccchhhh! I cannot think of a personal experience with gross food, except I was holding an apple once with only half a worm in it. Disgusting. I would never eat snails or slimy creature on purpose. Oh, Harka. How do you live on and eat? Gross!!!!!

      I also accidently ate a slug once, but I try to forget that one!

      I like food too much to let these things stop me from eating!

      Well, I was eating a taco salad. When I was about to get to the bottom of the bowl I saw something in the sauce that wasn't normal. I pulled it out by my fork and it was a mop string! I told them about it, however I never went back again.

      Well my story is hardly nothing compared to some of these!! I think I'd pass out and die if I eat a slug!! My story is one time I had an open bottle of pepsi on my bedside table and I woke up and took a big swig of it, then I saw there were ants ALL over and in the bottle. I had to keep telling myself that in some countries ants were considered a delicacy. Now I only bring water to bed.

      Be sure to leave the cap on the bottled water or cover the glass in case spiders decide they're thirsty..

      Well, I do believe you all won the "yucky prize".

      I thought my story, try one, free sample, at a booth in a mall, took the cake....

      I saw the sign, saw the baskets below the sign, and without thinking picked one up and popped it into my mouth. It looked like chocolate candies to my surprise... It was COFFEE BEANS !!!

      It made me so sick, I turned green instantly, almost lost my stomach contents, right there on the spot. I spent hours on caffeine high with the shakes. The thought of coffee, still makes me sick.... I'll never drink or touch that stuff again...

      I used to eat tuna daily. I was also collecting mouse bones from owl pellets. I opened a can of tuna and found a bone in it that was round and long like a mouse leg bone. I took the bone out of the tuna and ran to my room and matched the bone up exactly to a mouse bone that I had dug out of an owl pellet! Same length and same everything! I about vomited and have never eaten tuna again. I am going on 20 yrs without out now. :(

      1. I chose the biggest juiciest strawberry in the punnet, decided it was too big to eat in one go, so (oh thank you, my lucky star was shining on me at that moment) I cut it in half and lo and behold it was hollow inside, housing the biggest bulgiest ALIVEST queen ant you could ever imagine. The strawberries were Spanish, and although I love Spain I have never eaten a Spanish strawberry ever since. I can barely make myself eat a strawberry from anywhere actually.
      2. Sleeping over at a friend's house, the mum had thoughtfully left a glass of water by the bed, and when I went to take a sip, ooh what's that wriggling around on the surface of the water? Looks like a cat flea! Hey- it IS a cat flea!
      3. At the same house, I went for Sunday lunch in the summer, saw their pet rabbit hopping about in the kitchen. On closer inspection, pet rabbit had left quite a lot of little round droppings all over the floor....bit later, the mum drops a slice of ham on the floor and I notice that several droppings have stuck to the ham, The mum noticed too, quickly flicked the droppings back onto the floor and put the ham on the plate with all the rest of the slices. I spent the rest of the time before the meal with my eyes glued to that plate, trying to fix in my memory which piece of ham it was that had the poo on it....oh no and 4. Another horror at the same house (why did I keep having to eat there?) I saw what looked like the mum putting a curled up naked baby into the oven. Turned out to be rabbit, but hopefully not the pet rabbit - who knows? It might have been....anyway that put me off rabbit forever - it was the first and last time I ate it.

      One time at bob Evans I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast and when they brought it out there were baby carrots in it. Needless to say I returned it and didn't eat there for a long time.

      Do you really not like carrots then?
