Man vind glo lintwurm in Spur-gereg

Stellenbosch. – Die helfte van die lintwurm in sy varkvleisgereg was al opgeëet voor ’n polisieman van Somerset-Wes die oorblywende deel in sy bord in die Gordonsbaai Spur sien lê het.

Insp. Hennie Smit het Donderdagmiddag ’n eisbein, ’n tradisionele gebraaide varkgereg, saam met sy vrou in die Sunset Bay-Spur in Gordonsbaai geniet, toe hy volgens hom die segmente van die sowat 7 cm-lange lintwurm in die bord sien lê het.

Met afgryse het Smit gister vertel hoe ’n stukkie van die oorblywende agterlyf van die wurm uit die vleis gehang het. “Ek het eers gedink dis ’n sening, maar toe sien ek die plat segmente en besef dit is ’n lintwurm.”

Hy het sonder om ’n woord daarvan aan sy vrou te sê, opgestaan en na die restaurant se toilette gehaas.

“Ek het die kos wat ek nog besig was om te kou in die toilet uitgespoeg en daarna dit by die ontvangsdame gaan aanmeld,” het Smit gesê.

Dit was glo nie die eerste keer dat so iets gebeur het nie, het dié aan hom gesê.

Die bestuurder wat op daardie dag aan diens was, het hom om verskoning gevra en voorgestel hy moet iets anders bestel.

“Die man het nie eens geskok gelyk toe ek hom inlig van die wurm nie. Ek het toe maar ’n stuk steak en twee dubbel-whiskeys bestel om die gevoel in my weg te kry.”

’n Bestuurder van dié Spur het gister by navraag gesê nie hy of die personeel is bewus van dié voorval nie.

extra proteins anyone ?

If I don't see it Im not bothered.

Do you have any idea what other things you eat/drink when you buy any food /drinks at a bar/restaurant?

If I did find something like that in my food I would however sue the living hell out of them

 

[Slaine73]

I would not be happy at all, no

Don't they only enter the multi-segmented stage when living inside the human host?

 

[Pitbull]

FFS !!!!

I love Spur but will never eat Eisbein from any other place than a German restaurant. So much for enjoying Spur food now. Cheddamelt steak now lost forever /cry

 

[shadowfox]

I'm actually surprised he didn't start hurling at the table ....

I'm always a little uneasy when someone wants us to eat at Spur. That place is SO dodgy.

I agree, if I don't know about it, I can't be bothered. But I don't see how you can sue them for more than a free meal.

That's what I was thinking. How did he know for sure it was a tapeworm? And BTW, I love Spur, nothing wrong with their food.

Emotional distress. I am sure I can think of one or two more things

Also you can blackmail them because they will be closed by health and safty (even just for a while) if you report it.

You will have trouble fighting a corporation like Spur over a plate of food with something undesirable in it. H&S will do a check on the kitchens and the preparation of the food, and clear it. Just another unhappy customer who got a free meal.

Look I am betting you will get them to settle, think very bad press and all that.

Not for millions but maybe for around 20k or so.

Maybe we should ask the leagal eagles on the forum if you will have any case here in SA.

In the USA im sure you could sue for millions

I would like to see someone try that! I mean, did the poor guy who found the alleged tapeworm get anything?

A barf bag?

Lol, one of my mates found a worm in their KFC burger, one of those nice big plump "salad worms". He took photos and luckly did not take a munch out of it

This story sounds like BS to me. Tape worms only live in the digestive tracts of live animals and humans. It must have been some other type of worm, or maybe even a vein or sinew. Tape worms can't live in the flesh of a pigs leg. I'm just too suspicious of stories like this - there are too many scammers and idiots around these days.

I agree that you should never order something esoteric like eisbein at a restaurant that doesn't specialise in it - turnover is too low and it probably sat in the freezer for months.

Pretty sure that they only live in muscle while they're in the larval stage, and need to be ingested in order to develop to the adult stage. If i remember my biology correctly, it actually needs the digestive enzymes in the hosts stomach to dissolve the cyst walls that the larva lives in.

Either this is a rare case or it wasn't a tape worm, wouldn't be surprised if the media spun it to make it sound more sensationalist.

Probably a vein.
