Cafeteria Mystery

Friday, December 5

Yesterday, I made a delightful discovery in my Yuck-atan meat. Animal intestine.

No, I can't verify for sure. But with the FDA generally in favor of the consumer, I probably could have classified it as a rabbit intestine and claimed a healthy settlement... Whimsicalness aside, I do feel violated. It was certainly not a noodle as hypothesized by Molly (besides, my dish was supposed to be Yucatan mean, not Yucatan noodles). And it was relatively rubbery in texture, with a definitive intestine-like structure. My theory -- I came very close to eating the innards of some small mammal.

Hopefully not to the avail of a future victim, I did not report this discovery... Mostly because I wasn't entirely certain what I was looking at. And also because you can't expect much from a school cafeteria. But I'll be darned if it wasn't an intestine.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
