What Would You Do?

You're at a nice restaurant, eating a salad. It's one of the best you've had. Then you find a bug. What do you do?

[SysLord]

Just get another one. No point in making it front line news.

I'd toss my salad!!!!!! I used to waitress and I used to check everything I served down to the smallest detail. I'd be like.......get this fucking salad away from me before I crunch the fucking bug and send it back w/ my drink poured on it. Ooops! I'm sorry.....I don't eat bugs bitch......and if there's bugs then maybe I should head out the fucking door and get a frozen burrito and a fifth of something and say "bye!" (for the same price) Gross fucking shit! I'm sorry but food is food.......Now if they fucked up my drink........I'd have to order a Zombie and let them figure out how to make it! lol Oh, god.......I'm jammin on Scrub......yes left eye is dead......and that sux shit!

I'd send it back and get another one. They say we eat bugs all the time anyway. So it's just a luck of the draw that I saw this one.

[SunnyHeadcase]

is the bug alive or dead?

[gtojim]

Jake is rite about us eating bugs all the time there are alowable limits to all packaged foods set by the F.D.A. that alow worse things than critters.
But if I was served a dish in a restaurant with a visable critter not on the menu I would send it back with force and not pay for any part of mine or my gests meals, drinks ect.

I am trying to find an article I saw on that. When someone told me that there is actually an allowance for bugs in food it made me look more closely, that's for sure. Not that I'd find anything, but yuck!

Has anyone here eaten a bug, on purpose?

[Andie]

I had all kinds of bugs..Some are even pretty good..as long as you dont look at them..:D
But there is a reason for them being survival food..
I do look at grasshoppers with special kind of love ..;)

Run, Jiminy, run!

I can't deal with the bugs. I'd rather eat bark.

[Jennafer]

Well, now that I think about it.....It depends on what bug. If it was a roach I'd just leave and head to another place. I know some places aren't perfect but spraying the restaurant is required. I know in AZ the cockroaches were scary as hell. They hissed!!!!!! And flew!!! Yikes!

' Tis me alright. Not advertising. The critter is a hedgehog. Native to the middle east, and they're a hoot. Bite you every chance they get, so it takes a real 'critter-lover' to calm them. I have it down pat, but even my kids can't pick one up. They can't throw their quills, but they roll up in a ball, and good luck. Hiss, bite, etc. Unfortunately, they outdo rabbits in procreation. So if you say you have 8, later that day you have 12, and so on.

Also, as this pic illustrates, they're extremely blind.

What is that?! I got lost on the subject.....Can you believe I'm jammin on Crash Test Dummie's....lol. I still have it from way back!!!!! I love them!

[Diva]

They'll bite you? So what is the upside of these little guys?

[Bff Biff]

ummmm, I'm not sure. Getting one tame is worth it. When they get trusting, they are great pocket-pets.

ummmm, I'm not doing so good, am I?? Glad I'm not a 'hedgehog' salesman.

A face only a 'mum' could love, but they're cool. Help.

K informs me that their home is Somalia, and eastern/southern Africa. There's a 'hedgehog' society too. IHS, international hedgehog society. Damn.

BTW, in keeping with the theme of this thread, hedgehogs could be put in your pocket, taken to the restaurant in question, and when you get a bug, feed it to the 'hog'. Problem solved. In fact, if you are concerned about whether your salad has bugs, put the 'hog' to work. Set it on the plate, it'll find any bugs, pronto.

Is this more 'hog' info than you need?

[Diva]

So they do get friendly?

[Jake]

Hey Biff! So what got you to have them as pets? Do they bite hard?
