    YUK! That would be a hanging offence if ever there was one!

    If I were dining with HM, I'm sure it would be my foot.

    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.

    Cigarette? It is not good form to drop the filter tip into your bowl of soup.

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

    The answer is lead-shot that you might find if you were eating game. Thank you all for your contributions and for humouring me!
