our anniversary weekend HELL

[Scuba Steve]

so myself and Mrs scuba steve are together 8 loving years . And iv been really stressed with the new job and studying so we booked a lovel romantic (dirty) weekend away in a 4 star spa hotel .

all's going great i get a massage and she gets her treatment's . and we head to the hotels restraunt for a lovely (not cheap) candel lit meal for 2 . so i order the fillet stake and im munching in . nice and suclant . about half way through i notice somthing is odd on my plate and clear the sauce back to hav a look .

to my horror the center of the stake is filled with ........... wait for it...................MAGGOTS

I was phiscally sick all last night and to day every time i thought about it and she wasnt much better .

dont think maggots can make you sick but the meat must hav been really off for them to be that developed

[Mick F]

Oh Sweet Jehovah! That's a nightmare.

Name and shame Steve, by PM if you like. That's just unforgiveable. I like meat that's been well hung but that's just disgusting.

What was the reaction from the hotel?

Environmental health....phone call.
Hotel manager, full refund please.
beloved mrs, "see, told you I'd found a diet that helps me lose weight"

[Lou]

Boy oh boy. I bet the hotel is writhing in abject apology, aren't they?

[Ding Dang Doo]

OMG!

That has got to be the worse thing to find in your food (I have had the odd half a maggot found in an apple though!)...

I agree - name and shame... Mrs Doo and myself are partial to the odd weekend away (including Ireland), so one to avoid would be appreciated!

Hope the hotel were MORE than accommodating...

Oh, congrats on your anniversary!

Jesus, I was half expecting you to say it was froozen in the middle and not a flesh munching orgy of maggots Sounds as if it might have been fly larve, I was shopping in Tescos a few back, got some cherry tomatoes and was making a salad when I noticed some uninvited visitors crawling over them, it was fly babies! I was pissed off as they were in date for a week, definitly get your money back and a serious apology, and possibly try a vegaterian dish next time

[Scuba Steve]
