Well, I must have missed one on the roof which then fell onto the chicken breast I was grilling. How I didn't see it I'll never know (age) but when my chicken started tasting crunchy I realized I had a problem.
I spit out as much of the shell as I could but I think I still have grit in my throat.
Had me wondering how this compares to others' misfortunes.
That's pretty disgusting Zo. I always get cockroaches in my BBQ but they scamper away pretty fast when I pull the cover off and I've never had the misfortune of roaches in my meal. Snails tend to be in my letter box eating my mail but not in my BBQ.
I have two disgusting experiences. One when I was a kid. All summer long we would have beautiful, delicious, fresh cut watermelon and my Gran used to pick up the plate the watermelon was cut on and drink the watermelon juice after the watermelon was cut. One day I walked into the kitchen and there was a plate full of watermelon juice. I grabbed the plate and eagerly slurped it down.
Turns out someone had left frozen meat to defrost on the plate and it was blood not watermelon juice.
Next time I was much older. My then GF had sold her house and needed somewhere to stay before moving into her new digs. So I invited her to stay with me for a couple of weeks. She also brought her cat. One night we stopped at our local Italian takeout. I ordered pizza and she ordered lasagna. We took it home and I scoffed down my pizza but she only ate about half her lasagna. She offered the rest to me which I gratefully accepted. It was delicious so I ate the lot. It was so good I wanted more so I scraped around the tin foil dish it came in scraping up the yummy cheesy bits. Then I noticed the serving spoon used to dish it and decided to lick it clean!
Turns out it was freakin CATFOOD on the spoon not lasagna.
Serves me right for being such a pig I guess.
