Customer says she feels 'poisoned' after discovering meat in vegetarian meal ordered at a local eatery
A Jewish woman from Michigan is suing a restaurant for serving her bacon in an omelet that was supposed be meatless.
Get The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories FREE SIGN UP That lawsuit was filed on behalf of Angela Montgomery, 30, of Sterling Heights by her attorney Majed Moughni, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.
Montgomery is seeking monetary damages for emotional and physical distress caused by eating the bacon. She alleged breach of contract and negligent representation.
Pig meat is forbidden under traditional Jewish law.
Montgomery said she found bacon in a vegetarian omelet she ordered on August 25 at a local Denny’s restaurant in Sterling Heights. After taking a few bites, she noticed bacon in the meal. According to the lawsuit, she is a “is a practicing Jew and whose religion forbids the eating of any pork product.”
The waitress and manager both apologized and said the mistake happened because the bacon was stored next to the vegetables in the kitchen, the report said.
Although the manager offered to make her another omelet, Montgomery said she no longer had an appetite.
Montgomery told the Free Press that bacon is “an abominable food.”
“It’s like the most vile, disgusting creature on planet Earth that’s not supposed to go in your body, and I ate it,” she said. “To me, that’s a poisoning. I was poisoned.”
Moughni also filed a similar lawsuit on August 22 on behalf of a Muslim couple from Dearborn, who were served bacon in a cheese sandwich they bought at a KFC in Lincoln Park. Both lawsuits were filed in the Wayne County Circuit Court.
“You can’t allow this practice to continue, whether you’re Muslim or Jewish, and you walk into an establishment and they don’t care about what they are serving,” Moughni said.
Earlier this year Moughni filed a lawsuit against a Little Caesars Pizza in Dearborn for advertising halal pepperoni pizza that he claimed wasn’t halal and contained bacon, the Free Press said.
Ping
Hope this suit gets tossed. What garbage.
With such an over reaction I wonder if she planted the bacon herself
Get a life!
Should have had another employee of distinction ask her, “What did jew want?”
Oh my!
What are the odds?
Oy!
Get over yourself lady.
If she were muslim, she wouldn’t sue, she’d just have her husband behead the cook.
How queer that the issue is raised that it was pork bacon when she was claiming to want a vegetarian meal.
If you are vegetarian, ANY meat is offensive.
Sounds like this attorney has found his niche issue.
Next will be a “1-800” lawyer commercial asking, “Are you a Muslim or Jew who has been served pork? You may have been poisoned and have certain rights! Call us now!”
>>Montgomery told the Free Press that bacon is “an abominable food.”
I beg to differ. Her’s is an OPINION, not a statement based on fact.
Sounds like a drama queen, left-wing nutjob who is trying to win the lawsuit lottery.
She’s faking.
Kosher is about a lot more than not eating pork products. There is also a prohibition of food cooked without the supervision of a Jew. Cookng and eating utensils that have been in contact with non-kosher food are forbidden to use.
She has a sentimental attachment to the idea of not eating pork. She does not keep kosher.
Sounds like the lawyer shops for these kinds of cases. It’s at least the third of its kind he’s sought.
And remember, you don’t pay unless we win!
I take back what I wrote in another thread: one cannot assume that people will read a menu and therefore know what is served in a resturant just because of their ethnic background (and having read the menu know that things they may not want will be in the kitchen right by stuff they may want).
She’ll live and God knows she didn’t mean to eat the bacon. She has not been poisoned.
Pity the Levitical system of atonement is totally non-functional or she could offer a sacrifice specifically the sin she did not mean to commit.
If only she had a Savior she could call on for forgiveness of sins. Oh! Wait....
This must be the first time in history when someone has sued for getting too much bacon.
