A diner bit into a segment of human finger while digging into a bowl of chili at a San Jose Wendy's restaurant Tuesday night, Santa Clara County health officials said today.
The woman, who asked officials not to name or even describe her, spit out the well-cooked digit and reportedly warned other diners to stop eating. She then became sick to her stomach.
Santa Clara County Health Officer Dr. Martin Fenstersheib said today the woman was horrified "due to the unpleasant sensation of having this (object) in her mouth."
But he said the finger had been cooked at a high enough temperature to kill any viruses, including hepatitis or HIV, and it was unlikely that she will suffer any health effects from her experience, aside from psychological trauma.
The finger was described by Santa Clara County Medical Examiner Dr. Joseph P. O'Hara as cooked but not decomposed. The finger was found in two pieces, a one and three-eighths inch long fingertip complete with the skin whorls used in fingerprinting, and a half-inch long piece of fingernail. The joint appeared to have been torn off, possibly by manufacturing machinery, rather than cleanly cut. Because of its slightly longer than average length and neat grooming, it may have belonged to a woman, O'Hara said....

Ewwww.
Seeing as though this was in the bay area she's lucky it was a finger she bit into and not some other appendage.
Whoa! Talk about finger food!
G*R*O*S*S!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Purple Digit, from the anti-war protester woman?
It really WAS a ladyfinger!;)
Jimmy hoffa style chili, where's the rest of her?
Just damn.

Yummy! Just Damn! On second thought, this is gross.
Are fingers protein, or fibre (if the nail is attached)?

I guess they didnt serve knuckle sandwiches.
"Because of its slightly longer than average length and neat grooming, it may have belonged to a woman,"
Hey, they were giving away free Lady Fingers!
Oh, come on now. There was no need for the dramatic scene. Everyone who has eaten some fast food chili has probably eaten some amputated human digits at one time or another. Heck, just think if it had a ring on it. It would be like getting a free prize with your lunch!
Just kidding. That story was YUCKY.
Hmm, I wonder what you get when you order the chicken fingers at that place...

This makes me want to sing songs from Sondheim's 'Sweeney Todd'...
...it sounds like one of 'Mrs. Lovett's meat pies'.
