Have you ever had a nasty food surprise? / myLot

There was a letter in today's Times on the subject of unusual doughnut fillings. The writer said that he had once had a curry doughnut in Japan - he discovered this by accident when he thought he was eating a jam doughnut! Had that been me, I think my reaction would have been noticed by anyone within a 100 metre radius! Have you eaten something and discovered - just too late - that it was not what you thought it was?

I think I could go for a curry doughnut as long as it wasn't dusted with sugar!!

And that makes me wonder about the original mistake - I have never had a jam doughnut that wasn't sugar-coated!

@indexer I suppose if one is in a foreign country, particularly somewhere as culturally different as Japan, it would be easy to think that they just don't put sugar on their doughnuts!!

@WorDazza That is entirely possible. A nation that puts curry in doughnuts is perfectly capable of not putting sugar on jam ones!

Yes, in the United States, I was at a salad buffet and I thought that those orange things were shredded carrots. Well it was cheese, dyed in orange colour.
