7. I might be able to top that

We were on a one hour departure delay in St Lucia last month. The copilot said there was a decent restaurant upstairs in the airport, so we went. We each ordered a chicken roti (a meat and potato "stew" wrapped in a tortilla like bread - normally very good). We sat down and started eating. The first bite contained a bone - no big deal, it's carribean food. Same for the copilot. I felt something hard and sharp in the next bite, and removed a piece of chicken beak from my mouth, followed by the copilot's rather unpleasant discovery of a claw in his.

I think they toook whole chickens, pulled the feathers, and tossed 'em in the pot!

Needless to say, we didn't finish our meals.

11. omg, that is so disgusting

:D At least you have a story to share with your grandkids, right?

12. No kidding! To make matters worse,

I worked on a 60,000 bird chicken farm (more like a factory) when I was in middle school - for a whopping $1.25 per hour. Anyway, it took me years to be able to eat chicken again. This episode may have caused a major relapse!

8. Was it yours

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Why would you spit bones in your hamburger?

Seems like that would leave the potential to do great damage to your teeth.


:P :hi: closeupready!!!

10. Well, you know, I guess because I just get in these moods, you know what I mean?

:D LOL :hi:

13. My aunt and I talked about this when we began noticing

bone fragments and tough grisle in ground beef back in the late 80's. Apparently, according to my aunt, Raygun relaxed many safety and health and cleanliness standards that has allowed more tough bone and other crap to stay in the meat. The quality of ground beef has gone way way down more and more over the years. I usually cannot bring myself to finish a hamburger when I bite into bone. It makes me think that was a particularly nasty and lax "run" (or lot) of beef grinding. It always makes me wonder what else could be in there. Ick. I hate it too.

14. Thank the rethuglican party

Some years back the rethugs in Congress agreed to help the meat industry by revising rules on the amount of non-meat (i.e. bone, gristle) that was allowed in the packages of ground beef you buy at the supermarket.

Ever since then, I've been periodically finding bits of bone in the ground round.
