Woman bites into finger at San Jose restaurant Maria Alicia Gaura, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, March 23, 2005
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.

And on the finger thing, HOW DID SOMEONE NOT NOTICE A MISSING FINGER????
Wendy's was my first "real" job (as opposed to working on the weekends for my dad in exchange for an allowance). I think I lasted 6 weeks, and participated in the chili-making process, unfortunately.
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...
Well, as long as it's fully cooked --- Mmmm just like chicken and pork, make sure it's well cooked!
cville and Niki -- you gots all your fingers????
If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a little noose around your neck?
Wow that is disgusting. I aint never getting close to that place again. I think i have a sick feeling from something i ate earlier today, but i cant place my finger on what it was
Ouch! My stomach hurts, but each post makes me start laughing all over again.

For the answer, re-wind to your 11th grade American lit class, and Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Over in PG County, we weren't allowed to read the whole book -- skipped from Frank Norris's Octopus to Dreiser's Sister Carrie. Our principal thought that Sinclair's novel was too "disgusting".
It's about a meatpacking plant. Teddy Roosevelt read the book, and refused to eat sausages ever again.
While this has nothing to do with a missing finger, it does apply to chili.
Every chili cook knows that aged meat is the best for use in chili, I've known expert Texan chefs that swear by putting old hot dog and hamburg meat in their chili...
To each his own I guess.

I read The Jungle in high school and didn't eat sausage for 15 years. I still don't eat it that often.

A sociology teacher in high school read exerpts from The Jungle right before lunch... what's her problem??
