Have you ever found a worm or similar in your food? Was it before or after you've eaten it? That's the important part.
I was just eating a bowl of leftover noodles from dinner last night, and I had finished half of the bowl when I looked down and saw a sizable worm laying dead in the bottom of the bowl. I spit out what I had in my mouth, and threw the noodles away a minute ago. If that isn't creepy enough...my family members(mom, dad, and brother) who are MUCH more squeamish about that kind of thing, all ate the same noodles last night.
It's not the worst thing in the world, it's basically extra protein. And, it's the caterpillar(larva) of the Indian Meal Moth, which frequently lays it's eggs in meal-like dry foods that people like to eat. It likely happened at the factory, because the package of noodles was already sealed when it was in my cabinet, and the noodles were cooked last night. Still, it was a bit of a surprising find mid-way through the meal today.
Ever had something similar happen?
