It gets 1000% more fun when you have a lot of dental work.
Was that part of a filling or a crown? Did that damage my fillings?
Much worse the other way around, though
Much much worse: getting put a piece of apple in your mouth (so you are told) and its banana instead
just experienced this.
it was glass.
there was glass in my meat.
all thanks to the downfall of the abomination of the FDA!
yay…
I had glass floating in my beer once. I didn’t notice until I drank some of it thinking it was small pieces of ice. It was in a country where I didn’t speak the language so I had to find someone to explain to the bartender why I wanted a new beer.
Just reading this made my spine shudder
made me really happy that I’m eating more from my garden, but sad that I can’t grow meat.
Well…….not safely and legally, at least.
Not with that attitude
backyard chickens
thought about it. too many neighborhood cats and hawks.
I just saw three large hawks hunting yesterday actually.
Time to start growing stuff yourself I guess.
that’s why we poisoned the ground with road pollution, so you don’t get any unfortunate ideas of freedom.
Was eating a hotdog the other day and a very small piece of bone was in it. When I bit down it jammed the tiny bone fragment between my teeth. I spent the rest of my Costco shopping trip making really weird faces trying to dislodge it.
Got a pointy piece of wood in a fish fillet once when i was a kid. Unexpected textures still ruin meals for me. I’ll finish it, but I’m checking every bite before I take it.
i distinctly remember sitting next to a person at school who had a whole ass piece of cardboard under the breading of a fish fillet. Just fucking layered between the fish and the breading.
I already disliked fish, and that certainly didn’t help matters
Gummy vitamins, felt something crunch. It was one of my fillings and it got jammed into my gum at a point where it was wider than the gap in my teeth and my dentist had to send me to a periodontist. Needed oral surgery afterwards because of the damage.
Ended up chipping my tooth on a tiny seed in my curry.
I think it’s worse if you’re eating something crunchy and there’s something soft in there.
I once ate a chicken leg and completely missed the chunk of cartilage on my fork and chomped down on it.
It was about 25 years ago and I still gag when I think about it.
Cartilage is one of the common “foods on a stick” in Japan. Good stuff
Ahh denkushi (伝串) was one of the foulest surprises I had when out drinking around Shinjuku one fine evening. I thought they were little deep fried pieces of chicken but ended up biting into a semi chewy grease sponge of chicken skin. I bought three skewers of the stuff and had to gag them down with a pitcher of Sapporo. At least they were cheap like 50 yen each.
Yeah I had a similar experience buying one at a festival and was not a huge fan, which surprised me as I like chicken skin in general. But the way they do it on the skewers is just not appetizing.
Had to look up denkushi, as I’d just seen them called kawa, and seems like it’s the term one izakaya chain called shinjidai uses. Apparently there’s only like 5 of them in Tohoku so I’ve never been to one.
Yeah, it’s fine when it’s prepared properly and you’re expecting it…
Mind you, “the Japanese eat it” is hardly a ringing endorsement.
“the Japanese eat it” is hardly a ringing endorsement.
True, but I’ve gotten used to a lot of their stuff at this point. In light of this thread I was gonna bring up sea cucumbers being both soft and crunchy at the same time. Probably one of the weirdest textures I’ve been exposed to.
Like when you’re eating shelled peanuts and you get that really funky one
every ground meat ever…
One of my baby teeth came out while eating a banana as a kid. That was creepy.
Found the one that wasn’t de-boned.
I don’t know what monster first thought it was a good idea to mix pickle relish into tuna salad.
OMG yum!
