    THERE’S A FLY IN MY SOUP

    Try to remove the object without calling attention to it. Don’t create a scene, even if you are truly repulsed. Instead, simply leave the dish untouched as to not embarrass your host or hostess. If you’re at a restaurant, quietly point out the non-edible object to your waiter or waitress and ask for a replacement dish. If the object has reached your mouth, remove it and place it at the edge of your plate. Don’t put it in your napkin, unless you’re using a paper napkin.

    Sorry mib, didn't mean to offend but that was all I could find. Could the answer be a pearl from an oyster?

    I like that idea *very* well r-laj, and imagine having to swallow it because you couldn't take it out? But no.

    All the sensible guesses seem to be taken so I'll have to say a pipe or chewing gum.
