Deep Fried Receipt
I was recently eating lunch at a small pizza dive. My usual is half a stromboli and half and order of breaded mushrooms (very healthy). As lunch was almost over I went to cut one last mushroom in half (because they are large) and to my surprise did not find a mushroom inside the deep fried batter.
Instead it was wadded up paper. I’m pretty sure it was a receipt!
I yelled, “It’s paper.”
My friend said, “Are you sure?”
“Yes, it has letters on it!”
Because that is how can tell right? Letters, not numbers. Whatever my logic the fact is that I was served a deep fried receipt. It wasn’t even my receipt.
I don’t even want to know how it happened. The waitress didn’t charge us for the mushrooms, but she also didn’t seem to surprised either. No mushrooms for me for a long time.
Oh that is disgusting. I don’t think I’d eat in that restaurant ever again…and I’d call the owners as well as the FDA…
Hope you don’t get sick…be careful..come of the food sicknesses take a few days to show symptoms..

Ew. Ew. Ew. And one more thing, EW.
what the HELL?!
And THAT is why I don’t eat mushrooms.
Um. ICK! Glad they comped them, but ew.
oh nast-tastic! however, glad something deep (fried! sorry i had to!) told you to open up that little “mushroom”…
you’ve always had some good instincts and they really paid off today. free mushrooms is not a consolation prize for a paper-filled batter dipped deep fried piece of nothing.
Is it bad that I am not as grossed out as maybe I should be? Really, it could be so. much. worse. than paper. Think bugs, fingernails, droppings. You figure deep fried paper got a little disinfecting in the hot oil! Sorry you won’t be able to stomach the deep friend mushrooms for awhile!
Euw that is just nasty!!!! Surely there is a rule that if they cook a receipt with the food, its ALL free?
No manager showed up to apologize? Good grief!
