Waiter! There’s a Fly in my Soup!

Well, actually, no there isn’t. But there was a ladybug in my salad! 
Unfortunately this was the one time I didn’t have my digital camera on hand so I had to take a picture with my cellphone. It came out very blurry 
but you can still clearly see the cute little buggy-wuggy.
I found this to be particularly hilarious for some odd reason, perhaps because not that long ago I was talking with some friends on a message board about insect eating. You see, somehow we got into the discussion of eating insects and one member swore she would never eat bugs. Naturally I felt compelled to point out that there are insect parts in all of our food and that she has already consumed insects in her life. 
So I thought it was highly ironic that one day, while eating out at Carino’s I should find an insect in my food. Talk about irony! I had fun messing with the waiter, I must confess, I think he expected me to cause a scene and demand free food or something. I guess I could have, but really, I couldn’t see the point. There is no way, when it comes to food processing, to make sure that all insect parts are kept out of the food. Plus, the ladybug was already deceased so it was apparent she got in there sometime during the vegetable picking and packaging.
Despite the fact that I have eaten bugs before I didn’t chow down on this ladybug. I went ahead and put the salad to the side and started on my chicken and sausage combo skillet. Yummy!

Okay, I just read your bug-eating entry. You, sir, are a sick, sick monkey. I’m willing to try almost anything, but insects is where I draw the line.
I’d've made a fuss about the ladybug, but that’s just me. I get squicked if there’s a bug in my food. There was a time I drank a mug of hot chocolate, and there were fleas in it. Still one of my worst memories. Every time something’s crunchy that shouldn’t be, I feel sick for a few seconds.
oh dear! I would have made a bit of a fuss but I would have been nice about it. Just like.. uh yeah there’s a bug in my food, its dead, FYI.
I don’t make a huge deal about it, unless it’s glaringly obvious that the bug is there and they’re just not paying attention to what they’re serving. However, I too get a bit unsettled when something crunches if it shouldn’t. LOL
You bug eater didn’t eat a bug? That’s so strange hehe.
