I think Wendy's is really going to knuckle down on quality control now.

Maybe the "dog's head" is the rest of the finger -- battered and deep-fried.

On second thought it looks like molars were gnawing on some gristle.

Yummy.

Sometimes the service is so bad, you think they're thumbing their nose at you.

Gross! At lunch today I noticed Wendy's and my first thought was of the finger.

I had Wendy's chilli for lunch on Monday. I hope it wasn't chilli con phalange. I'm not planning on eating there again.

It makes me seriously double think the supply chain for all of these fast food restaurants. They can't find who lost the finger.

"That is disgusting!"

You have a lack of imagination. It could have been a Mexican pee-pee!

You are now allowed to resume your diet:):)

Eeee-yoo! You might be right. This article said she chewed on the finger:

"The Associated Press

Mar. 24, 2005 - A woman bit into a partial finger served in a bowl of chili at a Wendy's restaurant, leading authorities to a fingerprint database Thursday to determine who lost the digit. The incident occurred Tuesday night at a San Jose Wendy's restaurant and left the customer ill and distraught, said Joy Alexiou, a spokeswoman for the Santa Clara County Health Department.

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

(snip)

Health officials said the fingertip was approximately 1 1/2 inches long. They believe it belongs to a woman because of the long, manicured nail."

You're ~ 3000 miles away from that restaurant.

I ate there today.

Either you're way too squemish, or I'm not squemish enough...

It just grosses me out. I just can't shake the idea of the finger.

I live near that Wendy's, and I don't think I could ever bring myself to eat something from there. I think I would think of the finger in the food.

I'll stick to Yiassoo which is just down the road. It's fast (and very good) Greek food. Locally run, and I don't think you'll ever find a finger in the food.

Fair enough.

I figured they would be REALLY careful about what they served today.

(And I didn't have the chili - I don't like chili woth bell pepper in it).

Yiassoo just isn't the same since George and Roula moved to Tahoe.

Are they the original owners?

I take it you've been to Yiassoo also.

I used to go there a lot when I was first married (we lived near there).

Then we moved and had babies, and we didn't go for years. When we went back it wasn't as good as it was when we first went there, but it is still so much better than other fast food restaurants.
