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? Nov 08 03, 11:01 AM

I like that idea *very* well r-laj, and imagine having to swallow it because you couldn't take it out? But no. Nov 08 03, 11:22 AM

A medical thermometer has a constriction in the tube that prevents the mercury from falling as soon as you remove the thermomerter from your mouth. However, the mercury did go once through constriction when the temperature was being taken. Why won't it go back? In formal/fine dining (European and Continental cuisine), from which direction do you serve food and drinks and from which direction do you remove plates and glasses? I've heard several answers and I'm hoping to receive answers from fine-dining professionals. Who said, "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt?" How can you remove salt from oversalted recipes?
