On a similar subject I once found a sausage in a toad-in-hole.

If it had been three worms, no doubt you'd have been looking at a handsome payout. But 2? Sorry. That's within the accepted tolerances according to the Insects, Arachnoids and Other Invertebrates in Food Act 2002.

Last time I checked, this was the Praise and Vent forum right? I asked for advice on what people usually do in this circumstance, I will be making a formal complaint about this and Yes I do expect all elements of insects and worms to be checked for a removed from produce

In all honesty, you're not being very realistic. If you bought your vegetables direct from growers at the local outdoor market you'd have eggs with chicken crap on them, root veg with mud still clinging and green veg with things like earwigs etc in the leaves. That's absolutely natural.

Obviously big supermarkets try their hardest to sanitise everything and make it as far removed from the natural product as possible. It's not realistic to think that you'll never have a bug in veg, even Tescos veg, because when all is said and done it's off a plant that's been growing in the earth and has been colonised by various creepy crawlies.

If I were you, I'd take it as a good opportunity to get more in touch with vegetable growing and perhaps make that shift to locally produced, organic stuff...or even grow your own!

Freddie shall interpret for the shocked.

Vegetarian finds real meat in bowl of has bean salad. Screams like a hyena and run. Distraught boyfiend declares war on grocer and sues for millions. Trading Standards raid said emporium and all staff given lessons on storing meat and vegetables.

No one lived happily ever after

I think it's quite depressing actually and speaks volumes about the stranglehold that supermarkets have on our food industry. Food doesn't actually originate in the supermarket! There are a few stages before... Have we really become so divorced from where our food comes from??

It appears so to some people.. Look at how uniform everything looks when you buy from a supermarket compared to a proper greengrocer or farm store..

I was eating in my favourite restaurant not so long back and had this amazing chocolate fondue thing with a sprig of mint on it. A tiny little green catapillar hopped off the mint on to the scalding hot chocolate and perished. Poor fella.

We all had a good laugh with the staff about this poor mite and got on with our lives with a new pudding.


mmm...pudding.

Oh yes, we sued and retired to the behamas with our millions.
