Just think of the extra protein if you'd only found half of it.
CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Reminds me very much of something that happened to me around 45 yrs ago!
Just started a new job (EMI Medical in Hayes, if anyone remembers that!) and 3-4 days later my boss took 2 newly-arrived US safety certification test engineers with several of his staff, including me, out for lunch at a large local pub.
IIRC, I ordered something like steak (as you do
) chips, peas and salad and that duely arrived, and so I began to "tuck in". One of the first things I did was to cut into a tomato (in the salad) - to be "greeted" with a wiggling caterpillar in one half of that (Yes, that one was very much still alive!)
"Oh, what do I do now??" was my first thought, and I so I very discretely beckoned to the waiter, and then silently pointed to "unwelcome intruder" in my meal, and he took the plate away - and brought it back 5 mins later with the only "change" being that the tomato had "disappeared" and been replaced more peas (I had expected "something better" in the "circumstances" - but NO!
)
Nothing more was "said" on either side, but would a modern customer "stand for that nowadays"? - I think NOT!
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

It rather reminds me of a comment I once heard made by Alan Titchmarsh: "There's only one thing worse than finding a caterpillar in your apple and that's finding half a caterpillar"!

Thanks for being brave enough to look, folks!
'Gross' is certainly the right word to use to describe how I felt when I first saw it. But after the portrait shoot, I was starting to warm to the little thing...
About as far north of Heathrow as I lived south when a lad. Relatives in Hillingdon/Uxbridge so knew that EMI was there. Didn't venture north of the airport very often, though. I led a very sheltered life - all roads headed east, south or west, and not very far either. The North was a foreign country and it started at Heathrow Airport
