I’m a pretty adventurous eater, so I’ll try almost anything once. Unusual combinations? Sure! Extremely spicy dishes? Pass them my way! But I have to say, I do draw the line at finding plastic, hair or creepy-crawlies in my dinner…
Bored Panda has scoured the internet to find photos of the most surprising and disturbing things people have discovered in their food and beverages. I would not recommend viewing this list while you’re eating lunch, as some images may send your appetite running.

My Brother Found A Tiny Crab In This Mussel He Was About To Eat
Barong 1 year ago (edited)
I used to work at a seafood restaurant. While working there, I used to shuck between three and four cases of oysters daily. Little crabs like these were a normal occurrence. Sometimes three or four of them were in there. I guess the crabs used the oyster beds as a nursery. Unfortunately there was no way to save them so both the crabs and the oysters were thrown out. The crabs were pretty lethargic and I’m not sure if it was because they had not enough oxygen or what so they probably wouldn’t survive long anyway the worst was getting “mudders” which were oysters that looked fine on the outside but when opened appeared to be full of mud and was probably full of a decomposed oyster, at least that’s what they smelled like.

Tempest 1 year ago
A friend told me that once his brother’s university canteen lunch had a snail shell in it. It was a serving of gravy or something from a buffet style dining area so everyone believed that the rest of the snail was probably dissolved in the gravy. No this wasn’t in France or anywhere where they eat snails.

Egg Inside An Egg
When to open this egg and found a smaller softer one inside.
Mabelbabel 1 year ago
Double shelled eggs are rare, but they're safe to eat. It happens usually when the chicken is at the start or the end of their egg laying cycle. If two eggs are developing very close together, the first one reverses direction, goes back up the egg forming duct to join the newer forming egg and one egg envelopes the other so that they are laid as one.

Needle Found Inside A Slice Of Bread
Important to note I didn’t find it rather my dad did. He was gonna make toast or something and before he put it in the toaster he realized that there was something inside the slice of bread. Towards the bottom left of the slice you can see a dark spot, that spot is actually burnt and is where the needle was taken out of. He hadn’t toasted it or anything so the burnt spot was already there.
Couldn’t have been any of us as outside me and my parents, my siblings are very young and don’t have access to needles or anything.

Strawberries won't just grow inside tomatoes.... that's not how it works. But the tomato pulp and seeds do have that appearance in this case. Especially when sliced to look that way. Who cuts a tomato open like that?
