Watch out for celery
when you buy it whole,cut the individual bits of a third of the way up

If you wonder why break some off real low down and see all the little worms n stuff :eek: ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww#


Anyway you should wash all fruit & veg before eating :rotfl:

this is absolutely true, sometimes when you buy bread and cakes from the bakers in summer flies and wasps have trodden on it

This is an absolute disgrace. I almost vomited over my computer screen reading this disturbing story.

In my opinion, you should sue Tesco for £5000 plus costs. Or threaten to go to the papers and you may get an out of court settlement. You deserve to be compensated for this ordeal.

Only yesterday I got home and found a blue bottle fly dining on some Tesco bread I'd left in my kitchen - so clearly Tesco foods are attractive to all vermin, and something must be done about it. We cannot have these health risks.

In some countries finding a snail in a bag of grapes wouldn't even warrant a mention. The snail would be removed and placed outside then the grapes would be washed and eaten without any further mention. Such a lazy and care free attitude just does not wash however. What if a child had choked on the snail? WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

Sue them and get the compensation you deserve.

Justice for the OP - no more snails in our grapes.

i think you may have a very good point there and not many people can be aware of this.

why, only last week, i dropped a piece of a sandwich i had bought at tescos, and which i was munching in the street and immediately, this attracted a sparrow which ate the morsel.:mad:

notice that asda, sainsbury, morrison, somerfield, m and s did not cause this shameful scene.

and just imagine if the sparrow had then pecked a small child in the vicinity.

i for one am signing your petition.

Haha, didn't someone say that on a thread about speeding or something? And it made no sense at all?

I'd be happy to know that the grapes weren't coated in pesticide, washed them & eaten them.
Then found a suitable home for the snail and framed the 'Still Life with Snail' photo for the office wall!

Anyway, it seems like a case of sour grapes to me...

That reminds me of my favourite joke:

Man goes into a bakery.
Man: I'd like to buy a wasp, please.
Baker: But we don't sell wasps.
Man: Well there's one in your window.

Certainly more people die annually from choking on grapes than die from snail-related injuries.

if a snail ever does sting you, you can put a paste of aspirin and water on it immediately and it doesnt hurt so much, also a snail dies once it has stung someone.
