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.

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.

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.Axis Kast wrote:I hope you wrangled a free meal and some tee-shirts for your pain!

Re: The Devil tried to kill me
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.jegs2 wrote:Lesson Available: Stay away from Mexican food...Durran Korr wrote:OK, not really.

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

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.

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.

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.Shinova wrote:Strangest thing we ever found was a fungus inside our pancake syrup.

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