A mouse
was found in a UK ready-made meal. To be more specific, only the head of the rodent was actually in the meal
and the rest of the body was presumably lost during processing. After purchasing the microwaveable curry at an
Asada market in England, the pregnant Tricia Rankin only ate two bites before she spotted the head. She told
reporters that she threw up all night as a result of the incident. The company, which is owned by Wal-Mart, has issued
an apology to the woman and assured her that they would issue "an appropriate amount of compensation" after
the product has been tested. I wonder if she will receive more "compensation" if they find other bits of the
mouse in the meal. As far as value per piece, I strongly feel that the head of the mouse is the most traumatic bit to
encounter, followed by the tail.

I'm sure all the Brits reading will have noticed, but I thought that the American reader-ship I should point out the typo of 'Asada', it's actually just 'Asda'. Considering the 'excellent value' of some of their products it's hardly surprising that they supplement their meat with some extras.

I'm suddenly not very hungry. I hope it's just a phase I'm going through.
