If you were at a friend's house for a nice, lavish dinner and you found a dead cockroach in your salad, what would you do?

 

[OBIO]

Vomit, then leave.

Options:

1. Point out to my friend that there is a cockroach in my salad.
2. Not eat the cockroach
3. Skip the salad and hope I don't encounter any more cockroaches during the meal.
4. Ask for a stiff drink.

Sorry C9G, could you explain a little more?
Is it a Whole cockroach, or Half a cockroach??
See, Obio's solution only applies in one of those cases... :d

 

[Henry]

is it cooked?

Ewwwwwww! LOL! Yep, spoken like a Louisiana Boy....

 

[harleyman]

I would sneak it into the hosts bowl and see how they handled the situation...HeHe

I wonder if they would toss it aside and eat up

Or go STOP EATING there was a cockroach in my salad

Or maybe , just not see the thing and wonder silently why I had not touched my dinner.....LOL

 

[TheOptimist]

Keep quiet, or everyone will want one.

 

[dogknot]

Keep quiet, or everyone will want one.

Now that made me LOL!!

Reality, I'd do the same as WarHorse47. Why wouldn't you say something, especially to your friend?

Question #2: Would you tell your friend they have a booger stuck to the side of their nose? ...or just let it ride? :mixedsmi:

 

[JAllen]

Hey that is an expensive salad! Not everyone can serve such gourmet dishes. Congratulate your host on their good fortune to serve Roach Salad!

I would lay it out on the table, make a cross out of some salad content parts and say a prayer.

Yummy Grubs, been a while since I had them.

 

[cheezyflier]

well, i would try to point it out as politely as i could. i doubt if i could eat after that, but maybe.


back when i was a young man, i stayed the night at my g/f house. her family were all 1%'rs. when breakfast time came they gave me 3 choices

1) sh!t on a shingle

2) a bowl of cereal

3) scrambled eggs

i was just about to choose cereal when i noticed my g/f was pouring a bowl of rice krispies for herself. then i watched her flick 3 roaches out of the bowl as if it was no big deal, and pour the milk. i had been up drinkin all night the night before, so i was a little queasy anyhow. i walked home that day, 3 miles in the freezing cold, puking the whole way home.

I suppose it would depend on the state of the friendship. Ideally, you would be able to say “umm, hey Joe, lookit what I found in the salad. I think I'll set this one aside and wait for desert. I think...” But, if the incident takes place in the Philippines, then what you do is run in the back and get your elephant gun and shoot it before it drags off the kids...
