DUMPLING

When we were children my father sometimes bought street food from the hawkers. One day he brought home some dumplings. There were two types. The big ones had a sweet filling and the small ones had a meat filling. My mother opened one of the small ones before giving it to us. We were shocked to find a dead insect inside. I don’t know how it got in there. It may have fallen in accidentally while the meat filling was being prepared. That day we threw away all the small ones but we ate the big ones with the sweet filling.
After that incident I am careful when I eat something with a filling. I usually check what is inside before I eat it.

  1. finding anything in your food that's not supposed to be there is always unsettling! i've heard gross and funny stories involving mice (from KFC) flies (in soda bottles) and other similar stories but its never happened to me...

    1. yes b.c. it is disturbing. when big brands are involved it could be a competitor trying to cause some damage. we never know.
