Restaurant or packaged?

I made a taco salad the other day and I think this was in the bag of chips I poured in the bowl and it almost broke my tooth this hard piece of plastic.
Honestly I can't remember exactly how many odd things I've found in food.

I got my lady a burrito once at burrito amigos, it had a large piece of Saran Wrap in it.
Brought it back to them and they asked if I wanted another burrito. I turned, walked out, and have never been back since. Fuck those amigos.

Similar experience when I had some kinda sauce that had clearly expired a week ago at some burrito chain.
I told them they were going to kill someone with this shit.
They're response? Want us to make a fresh one?

WTF?

Fingernail in a bao (sweet roll with pork inside)

I still get nauseous if I think about it too much.

Ditto
A fingernail at a breakfast place in a plate of roast beef hash
The worst thing, I love hash so par for the course took a nice heaping fork full bit into something not of the same texture then spit it into a napkin. I freak out finding a hair in my food, I lost my shit
I no longer eat hash unless I make it myself

Nothing crazy, just egg shells and a hair.

Did have a kid cut his finger tip off though while cutting up chicken for a wrap. I take him over to the first aid kit, get the bleeding stopped and went back to the line to make sure they had sanitized everything and swapped out the knife.

I'm looking for his finger tip, can't find it. I ask the guys on the line, uh where is the wrap he was working on? Oh, we finished it up and sent it to the table.

I made it just in time before they had started to eat it, I snagged the plate and apologized that we had made the wrong thing and would be bringing them out the correct one shortly.

Had a stern talking to with those knuckleheads on the line.

Once I had cracked 11 perfect eggs into a pan.

Cracked egg #12 and a rotting fetus came out.
I puked in the pan, threw the whole thing out, and couldn't eat eggs for years.

I can't describe the smell. Maybe because it just surprised me, but holy shit. The smell and the visual combined made me hurl instantly and I'm not a puker.

In the Philippines they eat fertilized duck eggs that have been fermented.

When I was a teenager, I worked at Arbys.
Next door was McDonalds.
I remember my manager talking to some suit in dining area. I asked him who it was and he said a lawyer.
He told me he went to McDonalds and got a cinnamon roll and there was a bandaid inside it.
Since he was a manager at different restaurant McDonalds was worried he was trying to blackmail them or whatever

It was early fall maybe 10 years ago - all the pumpkin stuff had just come out. I absolutely LOVE me some pumpkin pie. I thought it was still too early for all the pumpkin everything, so I was surprised - and excited - when I saw fresh pumpkin pies in the bakery / deli section of the grocery store.

Took it home and later that evening, I cut myself a piece. Instead of a plate & all that, I just picked it up (because let's be honest - it wasn't gonna last that long) and walked back to my laptop on the bar in the kitchen where I was doing some work.

Took one bite and it was glorious. Two bites and still good. Third bite and something is completely off.

I look down, pull something out of my mouth, and realize I've been chewing on a fucking shoelace.

I spit the rest out (almost threw up...which is saying something as I have a pretty strong constitution), threw the rest away, & have never bought anything from the bakery / deli in that store ever again.

I was gulping school milk at lunch. It was a little warm.
I swallowed a lump of something about the size of a ping pong ball.

Then threw up, but we couldnt find the lump.
