Chokes or Hoax?

Erin0620 on 02/28/2008

Hair, tape, a piece of wire, a garden bug, and a rusted screw...during my 5 years in restaurant employ, various customers complained these items were "found" in their food. Some are true. One obviously fabricated. Hair is possible unless everyone, including the guests, wears a hairnet. Tape is used to label and date the food, occasionally slipping off. Scary as it may be, a small wire from a wire grill brush can slip off unbeknownst to the cook and wind up on your steak. A garden bug can arrive with the lettuce, survive washing and cutting, and make it to your salad bowl. However, when a customer complained of a rusty screw in their fettuccine alfredo, I was sent to the table. Amazingly, the screw was found on the top of her pasta, rusty, but clean, with no sauce. Almost as though it had been purposefully placed there....
It didn't take much questioning for the diner to admit the scam.
This quiz will pertain to things "found" in commercial food, both hoaxes and true.
