grasshoppers in salads...tentacles on my plate...

[krisamata]

so me and two people from work decided to head to earls for margarita mondays.
and we were having a couple of drinks, and me and another girl decided to share the spinach and artichoke dip

so we're eating and its SO GOOD.
and i lift up one of the chips, and i find what appears to be a brain...a very crunchy looking brain thing.,...so right there im grossed out, and i move another chip to cover the brain thing, and theres a TENTACLE.

EEWWW

so at this point i stop eating cause im beyond grossed out.

and i tell the waitress what was wrong, and she screams and then says this....


"omg thats almost as bad as the grasshopper someone just found in their salad"


OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

[oFFseT]

:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

eeeeeewwwwwwwww Krista that's sooo gross

what happened after?

[krisamata]

ummmm she didnt make us pay and i was and still so beyond grossed out.

[Hot Karl]

tentacle? like octopus?

[krisamata]

^^ yes like calamari
only, i didnt order calamari

[oliver]

big deal, tortilla chips at places like earls/cactus club are cooked in deep fryers. calamari is also cooked in the deep fryers.

...when they cooked off the tortillas for the day, a loose tentacle from the calamari cooked earlier was probably scooped up as it had been most likely floating loose in the fryer oil. then you ordered the spin/art dip and the bit of tentacle was included by accident. unfortunate but certainly nothing to be alarmed or grossed out by. if you ordered the calamari you'd be eating that same tentacle. its not going to hurt you. chill out.

as for the grasshopper. that sucks. haha. sucks to be those people. it undoubtably came from the company that ships earls their lettuce. we once had a live frog jump out of a vaccum packed romaine lettuce bag one morning. ack.

ok, that's not as bad, it's just like when you get one frie in an order of onion rings. CALAMARI ownz.

so you found a tentacle, what was the brain thing?

[simplify]

ahahah.. when you said tentacle, i was thinkin testicle. i was like, "what the fuck?, what's this chick on?!".. prolly the cook's just playing some tricks cause he hates his job and wants to get fired. earl's is a nice place. :keebler:

[~lazee_grrl~]

holy shit!!..me and glenda went to earl's for margarita monday's and we also had the spinach and artichoke dip...i don't think we looked too closely into the dip..which might have been a good thing..~

[krisamata]

oliver.
yes i arlready realized what happened
i was just grossed out cause i don't eat calamari...
and yes i know i shouldnt eat the chips cause they're cooked in the same crap as the meat and shit but fuck it, sometimes its too hard to be SO picky.
i just didnt appreciate having that thing on my plate.

as for the brain thing....still not sure what it was.

[yoko*]

but grasshoppers are crunchy and good.

it's kind of like eating shrimp...shell.. except their legs kind of get caught on your tongue, and that sort of hurts sometimes..

[Hot Karl]

i like my hoppers in chocolate.

Just out of curiousity.. which Earl's was this (so I make note of never going to that location again)
Thats pretty gross, your post kind of reminded me of when I found a used bandaid stuck on my sandwich at burger king.. this was years ago but that was totally disguisting. Oh and this one time I was at "love at first bite pizza" the one on Granville, I wasn't getting anything to eat but my friend was, and I shocked when I saw one of the cooks drop the pizza dough he was preparing on the ground and pick it right back up and continue to put toppings on it.
