The Devil tried to kill me

OK, not really. Seriously, I went out for Mexican food earlier and was very surprised to find a very sharp plant seed with multiple stickers on it within a mouthful of refried beans. It would have probably ended my digestive system had I swallowed it. Scared the living hell out of me!

I will say, however, that the plant seed did look a lot like satan's head. Can't be a coincidence. :D

Lesson Available: Stay away from Mexican food...

Super Cacti Commandoes. They will find you. And they will plant themselves within your Mexican food.

Every bite you take is one closer to your death!

Or maybe God was trying to kill you, and Satan saved you.

I hope you wrangled a free meal and some tee-shirts for your pain!

My mother had a similar experience as a teenager at a local bakery. She explained the problem - a nail in her cake - and was subsequently loaded up with goodies - for free! - to take home.

... Whether she risked death again and ate them, I'm not sure. :wink:

I did get a free meal, but I didn't pitch enough of a fit (I probably should have, fucking seed could've torn holes in my intestines) to get anything else.

I was refused bread and some other minor services at a restaurant once and the man at the table next to me made a huge scene - unasked - on my behalf, insisting it was age discrimination. It probably was, to be honest. The waiter blanched and the missing items were provided at once.

I went out for Mexican food just today. I enjoy it, and the only bad experience with Mexican food I had is when I has some really spicy dish, and soiled myself in bed the next morning. That's why I stay away from the refried beans.

There is a good place within walking distance of my house. Never had any troubles with the food. I recently went to a place in Hayward, that I used to go to in the old days and got the runs. I think I will stick to Fremont.

Damn boy, them's some powerful beans!

Frankly, just the name "refried beans" scares me. What does it mean to "refry" something? Isn't that what McDonald's does?

I think it is quite literal - They fry the beans once, then make them into that paste, and fry them again.

From my understanding it's actually a mistranslation. In Spanish it actually means well-fried beans.

They are pretty tasty though, especially with cheese on the top. I will probably never eat them again, or at least not for a while, after my incident last night.

The strangest thing I found in my food was a chicken foot...... of course I ordered chicken feet, so maybe that explains it? :)

I went to a mexican resteraunt once and swore never again. I started off with spice potatoe wedges, which to my uncultured eyes looked like homemade chips covered in the contents of a spice rack, then i decided i wasn't hungry and sat there with the bottle of wine for dinner. My dinner guest wasn't impressed as she then had to drag me out at the end of the night as i was pissed as a fart.

Strangest thing we ever found was a fungus inside our pancake syrup. We threw it out right there and then. Fortunately, none of us got sick or anything.

You'd probably find far stranger stuff in a hot dog (I'm guessing human penises, ants, semen, that kind of stuff) if they didn't process the hell out of it. I'm sure thanks to the invention of the hot dog, we use more parts of the animal than the Indians did.

Reminds me of Krustyo's and the jagged metal disk in every box.

Stick to kosher hot dogs. They taste better and you know they keep the anus ratio low.

Precisely.

My mom never double-fries beans, and I'm definitely half-Mexican (with her being completely so).

But the anus makes it taste good. :D

I say it wards away the weak and the long lived.

Those who know they will die at 40 have nothing to fear.
