      Indeed, my suspicions are aroused that (a) she didn’t notice it taking lettuce out of bag (b) even with “prewashed” lettuce, everyone should rinse it again anyway (c) she takes a bite out of sandwich and only then opens it up to see perfectly formed locust. It’s half the size of the sammich ffs. Betcha she’ll find a chihuahua in her bag of spuds next.

      In fairness, plagues are not necessarily a ‘bad’ thing.

      I don’t advocate another one…

      Just sayin’

      Who took the photo?
      There should be a Public Inquiry that pays stnuC a lot of money to do nothing about this.

      Why am I paying taxes, etc.?

    Surely thats bullpoo
    Look at the size of the locust in comparison to the size of the sambo AND the amount of lettuce on the sambo.
    It would be almost impossible to accidentally place this in a sambo. Locusts are not small, this really HID in between two leaves?

        I agree – I think that it’s a grasshopper.
        Sure, if it was a locust, there’d be NO foliage/greenery/salad, ‘cos it would have eaten it all !
        Having said that, not nice to come across something like that in your salad..
        F.

    Hi Jenny,

    Thanks for getting in touch, I’m so sorry that you found this insect in your lettuce. I can imagine how horrible this must have been.

    So that we can fully investigate and provide you with a full refund please can you return the product, foreign body, packaging and your receipt to the store?

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you,

    Clare – Customer Care

    “Foreign body” aw that’s sweet. She has to bring the little blighter back so they can repatriate him – after the boys in forensics have done their stuff of course.

    Jenny seems a right numpty. Does she think her rocket is grown in a hermetically sealed chamber? No, it’s covered in excrement and insects crawl all over it, eat, crap and has sex and if it’s not organic it’ll be doused in all sorts of chemicals. It’s just effin nature Jenny, get over yerself.

      Eat cows and pigs.
      And sheep.
      And chickens.
      And turkeys.

      Mostly chickens though.
      That’s the current consensus, unless you live somewhere foreign where the menu expands.

      If you want my opinion, snails are too chewy. It’s like eating the fat off someone else’s steak.
      Frogs’ legs are delicious, like small chicken legs, but cooked by French people who know more about it than you do so shut up.

      Just eat everything and stay out of McD’s.
      May you will live long and make someone else prosper.

      May the grease be with you.
      -So what if you are a galaxy where no man would ever want to go…
      I’ll mix my metaphors if I want to.

      Hold in your stomach…
      SEE?
      You”re not really fat.
      Hold in your stomach a bit more. Take a selfie…

    Tesco are just sampling the publics reaction to insects. Soon enough, we’ll all be eating them. You have been warned….

  5. Clampers Outside!

    Not a local locust then, and his name is Rocket Peppered, kinda like George Peppard. Is this fella suave at all? I suppose he can fly, or could one time…. *sniff* but he was no Blue Max.

      Thanks.
      I’m gonna have nightmares now about that weirdo from Arrested Development trying to sell me more Max Factor make-up, just like last night.

      Of course it is dylad.

      I like BS when it’s BS, and the other way ’round too.
      (But only in a literal sense, if you know what I don’t mean.)

    Once found a worm in my salad. I’d aready eaten half of it by the time I’d noticed. I fail to see the problem. Some people are so disconnected from where food comes from and what it is.
