    Much worse the other way around, though

    Much much worse: getting put a piece of apple in your mouth (so you are told) and its banana instead

    just experienced this.

    it was glass.

    there was glass in my meat.

    all thanks to the downfall of the abomination of the FDA!

    yay…

    Got a pointy piece of wood in a fish fillet once when i was a kid. Unexpected textures still ruin meals for me. I’ll finish it, but I’m checking every bite before I take it.

      i distinctly remember sitting next to a person at school who had a whole ass piece of cardboard under the breading of a fish fillet. Just fucking layered between the fish and the breading.

      I already disliked fish, and that certainly didn’t help matters

    Was eating a hotdog the other day and a very small piece of bone was in it. When I bit down it jammed the tiny bone fragment between my teeth. I spent the rest of my Costco shopping trip making really weird faces trying to dislodge it.

    Gummy vitamins, felt something crunch. It was one of my fillings and it got jammed into my gum at a point where it was wider than the gap in my teeth and my dentist had to send me to a periodontist. Needed oral surgery afterwards because of the damage.

    I once ate a chicken leg and completely missed the chunk of cartilage on my fork and chomped down on it.

    It was about 25 years ago and I still gag when I think about it.

        Yeah, it’s fine when it’s prepared properly and you’re expecting it…

        Mind you, “the Japanese eat it” is hardly a ringing endorsement.

          True, but I’ve gotten used to a lot of their stuff at this point. In light of this thread I was gonna bring up sea cucumbers being both soft and crunchy at the same time. Probably one of the weirdest textures I’ve been exposed to.

    I think it’s worse if you’re eating something crunchy and there’s something soft in there.
