personally it depends in the person but if I find a hair in my food from a certain family member with greasy hair I can't look at it the same way & it ends up as my sibling's lunch >: )
if I'm at a friend's home I won't mention it & continue eating as much as possible bc I don't want to ruin the vibe & they've gone out of their way to cook for me... but if I find more than one that's a no no
If you found a hair in your food, would you keep eating?
I don't mind. People have hairs -- on their head, armpits, pubes. It gets in your soup sometimes. What if there was a war going on and your best friend was decapitated in your prison cell and all you had was soup with a hair in it? You throw it out? I don't. I eat pubic hair soup to get my vengeance.
I sometimes romanticize the idea but unfortunately not. I am from Japan and also US citizen (dual-citizen). I am spoiled. But my father's side of the family suffered great famine during world war 2. His sister died of mysterious causes (they just said "shock") after bombings started. My father grew strong eating the most undesirable things -- eyeballs, fishheads, bones, potato sludge, things of this sort. And he raised me that way. And on my mother's side, they also participated in world war 2. Grandfather was paratrooper fighting on opposing side, lived on rations, had to fight to survive. He also taught me this way of looking at the world... it is all second-hand to me but I have developed a strong distaste for spoiled people who complain about food. It is almost like a self-loating because I ma spoiled too. My life is too comfortable.
So you give me food, any food, and I imagine I am in war-torn country... I am starving to death. Like McDonald's cheeseburger! Only $1! My wife thinks I'm totally insane here. I think she is right. But I can romanticize almost any food better than anyone else. I can be eating cold canned beans straight outta can and enjoying it better than people eating 7-course French cuisine. Add a pube to it and I just pick it out.
bro i understand, food isn't all that. don't guilt over smth other people only dream about tho, take pride in it bc u were given this opportunity. It's not like you can't eat fish heads when the apocalypse comes : )
Might as well practice though! I prefer the poor way of dignity over the aristocratic way of etiquette and fine wines and such. It is a more appealing and challenging aesthetic to me. I can still enjoy the 7-course French cuisine. And I'm grateful. But I take pride in the fact that you throw me pubic hair soup and I might be able to complain the least among everyone else getting it.
If it is a pube, then hell no, plus if it was at a restaurant I would want a refund, not a replacement... 🤢
If it is just a singular hair (from the head), I just remove it and keep eating. Haha, people malt despite having hair tied up or in hair nets. Doesn't happen often but I have encountered a few short stands of brown or black hair over the years of dining out. Same thing would apply if a friend cooked. I'd probably lift up the strand of hair for discussion, joke and say, "hey, look - found one of your hairs in my food" followed by a good laugh... life's short, gotta have a laugh...
If its me, or family or friends, just take it out and cary on eating. Eh it happen. In a resurant, i'd probably ask for a replacement if it was like in the early stages of eating. I just don't find it that gross.
If I find a hair in my food at a restaurant I get the food free, if I find it at my house then I just pull it out and make a joke out of it and continue to eat, if I was at a friends house I would pull it out and make it disappear, and keep eating, but I don't think I would eat if there was more than one hair, I mean like were they getting a haircut over the food?
Sure, I’ll just keep an eye out. It’s just keratin basically. :/ the fda allows for rodent and inspect body parts in food, why would I care about someone’s loose hair?
@siseñor that's a very touchy subject. I work a s a cook and and a cook getting hair in someone's food is the wort thing that can happen. So naw I wouldn't continue eating a d I would send my dish back and ask for another one.
If I found hair in my food the meal is basically over. The exception is if I'm eating at home then I know its mine. But still it kind of kills the meal.
