If this were me, it would win my personal award for nastiest thing I've put in my mouth (inadvertantly or on purpose). Woman almost eats severed finger found in rice ball:
Rice surprise anything but nice

TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- A woman in northern Japan bit into a rice ball she bought at a convenience store and got a gruesome surprise: a fingertip.
The woman spat out a mouthful of her Korean bibimbap-flavored snack after she tasted something unusual and discovered a one centimeter (half-inch) slice of human finger, said Takashi Fujii, a spokesman for the convenience store Lawsons said.
Police later determined the severed digit belonged to an employee of food company Nihon Fresh Delica who accidentally cut his finger while making rice balls.
The woman found the chunk of flesh Friday in the northern city of Sendai. She showed it to a doctor, who identified it as a fingertip.
Bibimbap is a spicy Korean mix of rice, vegetables and red pepper paste.
Fujii apologized. "We'll make sure this sort of thing doesn't happen again," he said. |
