If this had happened at KFC, the woman would not have a case - their food is supposed to be 'finger-lickin' good.

The chili is OK, but I prefer the knuckle sandwich . . .

The chili probably came from this factory.

"She was so emotionally upset once she found out what it was," Alexiou said. "She was vomiting."

I see a settlement - and I wouldn't blame her

Yeah, you were right.

You were out of line. Well, not so much "out of line" as so illogical that one can infer you don't think highly of the general consumer.

According to IMdb, it's Inigo.

Mandy Patinkin

What makes you think there's a "d" in there?

Oh, I missed your link there AK..

Well, I may not be some guy posting on RT (please don't tell me that's your source) but I do know that in Spanish, the word indigo has the accent on the first syllable, so it would be pronouned EEN-dee-go.

Plus, Inigo is proper Spanish name, and hardly an unusual one at that. It is related to the Latin name Ignatius.

Being a former Wendy's employee, I know the process of making the chili. The chili does no come precooked, or pre-made.

There is no way the finger came from the meat, because the raw meat is cooked, then boiled to remove excess grease, and then chopped to roughly the size of a dime.

There is no way (in my mind at least) that it came from the bagged vegetables (which consists of white onions and green peppers) because it would be highly visible and I don't see how it could pass through the manufacturer and then slip the cooks attention.

There is no way it came from the chili base, which is a powder and the first thing mixed in with water, the goal is to get even the smallest "clump" out, and 1 1/2 inches is a mighty big clump.

And that brings me to the last ingredient(s), beans, there are red beans and kidney beans, each in their separate cans. The cans are opened up, dumped into a colander and washed to remove excess "juice." In my mind this is the only ingredient the finger could have come from. It could have been well concealed, and depending on the fingers skin tone, blended right in with the beans.

There are now several news stories about how the finger was likely planted by the woman who said she found it in the chili.

The last story I saw said the finger was from the woman's recently deceased aunt (I don't want to know how she procured it) and the woman also has a history of fraud.

Incidentally, I just now returned from Wendy's where my daughter and I each had chili because they have a sale of "buy 1 large chili get 1 large chili free". I guess they're trying to get customer interest back, especially in the chili.
