CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A Pennsylvania woman says she realized there was a bird in her can of spinach when she noticed a yellow beak in a lump of greens.
"I immediately felt like I was going to vomit," Cherie Lyons, of Chambersburg, told the York Daily Record. "I was sick for the next whole day."
Lyons said she found the bird June 14 after pouring the spinach into a bowl.
Lyons told the Daily Record she felt mistreated after calling Del Monte. She was offered a $10 check and a request for the bird to be sent back.

So is canned asparagus.
Cheap bastards, a 10 bucks check? they wanted the bird back too?

1989 -- "Abbie Hoffman, the clown prince of radical protest whose life and death seemed a synonym for the 1960's, committed suicide with a huge dose of barbiturates, a Pennsylvania coroner ruled yesterday. ...he was a chronic manic depressive. Tom Hayden said that his onetime comrade in arms found life in the 80's irrelevant. ''He was really uncomfortable with becoming middle aged and facing old age without seeing significant social change...I have to think that perturbed him a lot. He was always trying to re-create the 60's and was deeply dismayed he was becoming a prophet in the wilderness of the 80's.''He offed himself too soon. I'm sure he'd be ecstatic at the "significant social change" of recent years.
France’s songbird delicacy is outlawed
The prized birds can fetch up to €150 (£102) each if sold illegally to restaurants. Diners savour the ritual almost as much as the flavour.
François Mitterrand, the former French president, notoriously feasted upon a whole one at his “last supper” while terminally ill with prostate cancer, concealing his head beneath a napkin in the traditional manner.Some say the napkin helps the diner savour the aroma, others that it is intended to conceal his greed from God.

Very interesting about the song birds.
Thanks!
“The very nature of canned spinach is horror and sadness.”
Great and well-warranted hyperbole!
Years ago before I saw the pink slime, I found a beak in the last McDonalds chicken nugget I attempted to consume.
Did they charge her for it?
Lol!
Well, I called when I found the canned moth in his canned corn coffin and the representative and I had a hilarious conversation.
(She was serious at first but I couldn’t resist joking about it.)
I took the bribe/coupons, too.
Maybe we should consider going into politics...

Woman stunned to find rabbit in her refrigerator
“What are you doing in my Westinghouse?”
“What ewse, wady? I’m westing!”
Now this is Popeye’s chicken!
I was wondering if the girl you went to school with that loved canned spinach was my daughter, that is why I asked if you went to school in NM. You would think there wouldn’t have been too many like that.
I really like spinach, but don’t consider canned spinach to be spinach. In my opinion it does not can well.
Maybe it’s a NM thing. I’ve always liked canned spinach.
Thanks, it’s my favorite episode!
