Last night I made paprika chicken to have with rice and green beans. Chicken was almost cooked, beans were steaming away so I put 2 pouches of rice in the microwave and put the chicken and beans on the table. Opened first pouch of rice into a serving bowl and then went to put in the second which sort of plopped into the bowl. When we looked it had the whole body of a fish, sort of mackerel sized, minus it's head, tail and innards in amongst the rice.

As I said, yuck, yuck, yuck!!

OMG ? kittylester Don’t know what else to say . Was the rice a famous brand ?

kittylester Tue 05-Jun-18 11:53:59

No - it was a supermarket own brand!!

Oh I hope you are contacting them about it. It was probably part of the cooking / flavouring process but still horrible fir it to fall out of the packet into your plate .

Blimey kitty hope the complaint is on its way. Think I'd take the evidence to the supermarket and also write, the supplier could well supply other supermarket own brands and possibly the well known brands. At least it didn't have its innards but as you say - yuck and double yuck.

Gross !! As DD would say.

Send that e-mail on it's way now kitty

I took it to environmental health - put them off their lunch toi!

Willow500 Tue 05-Jun-18 12:29:38

Wow that is truly horrid - what sort of flavouring would have fish in it?!! Send photos and complain vigorously !

Poor You Kittylester................I felt sick,sick,sick only reading your posting..........someone needs more than their knuckles wrapped I should say!!!

Greyduster Tue 05-Jun-18 13:05:38

Well at least they’d gutted it for you before putting it in the bag! Most people hate that job! grin. Sorry, kitty - I think you took it to the right agency. The supermarket would simply have swept it under the carpet...... hmm. I’ll quit while I’m ahead shall I?

How off putting Kitty ?
I bet you don’t want to open a pouch of rice for a long time now!

lemongrove Tue 05-Jun-18 13:38:58

Come to that, neither do I now.

nanaK54 Tue 05-Jun-18 13:40:00

Oh very, very yucky

Bathsheba Tue 05-Jun-18 13:42:12

Oh God, that has put me completely off rice pouches shock

dustyangel Tue 05-Jun-18 14:01:32

Oh yuck Kitty! I’ll happily buy and cook my fish like that or even with head still on (in Portugal) but I’d feel totally repulsed if one turned up like that. sad

GillT57 Tue 05-Jun-18 14:04:52

Gross! Even more so if it had been opened by someone planning a vegetarian meal, blergh.....

annep Tue 05-Jun-18 16:32:36

Glad you went to Environmental health. Going to the shop lets them off with it. Horrible. yuck indeed!

annep Tue 05-Jun-18 16:34:10

insect in prepacked salad. and now this. it does put you off prepared food.

Doodle Tue 05-Jun-18 19:43:41

kitty how awful ? Makes me feel ill just thinking about it. How on earth could it have happened?

Maggiemaybe Tue 05-Jun-18 20:09:17

envy (and I’m not saying I’m jealous, btw!).

Jalima1108 Tue 05-Jun-18 20:27:47

Yuck!!

Sometimes I wish I had never read or heard about something because I can never forget it!

Nannykay Tue 05-Jun-18 21:59:44

Yuck, I’ve never used those pouches, don’t think I ever will know !

lemongrove Tue 05-Jun-18 22:04:51

It was certainly bad luck....but worse for that fish!?
