A woman tucking in to a newly toasted slice of bread was shocked to find an oven glove baked in to the loaf.
The bakers responsible were fined £750 and offered a sincere apology for the mishap. Its not the first time in recent years that something unusual has been found baked in to a loaf, back in 2007 a man in England found a dead mouse embedded in the bottom of a malf loaf he was about to eat.
The bakers of Hovis bread have been fined £750 after a woman found part of an oven glove baked into her loaf. The woman, from Omagh in County Tyrone, had toasted a slice of white bread and was starting to eat it when she noticed it was full of pieces of thread.

Well, I am a really bad cook, but even I have not done this - yet. give it time buddy.. you never know what the future holds kinda makes you wonder where on earth the tradition of putting silver trinkets into the christmas pudd came from? i think what really happened was the cook accidently dropped something in the batter. didnt realise. and when the pudding was cut and the unfortunate someone that got a broken tooth from that said trinket went burko.. cook had to cover their bum by pretending it was done on purpose ("surprise, you found the gift") and therein the tradition started

That's why in a pro. kitchen, they always give you blue plasters so if it falls in the food, you can spot it easily and get it outta there. (or not )

So this apparently an isolated incident, and she took it to her local council? Firstly, how could you not notice those threads there, before you stuck it in the toaster? Second, if you call up the company, usually they are more then happy to replace the product (a lot of them will send a voucher). So why go tot he council? Sounds like someone just wanted their 15 minutes of fame.... Or compo....might have hurt her feelings or something.

Yes.,. but did the worker have clean hands before he lost the glove?? Blech I found a string pull from a flour bag inside the bun of a hot dog at school once. Wasnt pleasant! Im a pastry cheif/baker by trade, If that had been me I most sure of gotten an butt kicking! I found an entire cow eyelid, complete with eyelashes(!), in a meat pie a few years back. Takes a lot to make me feel unsteady but that did the trick. Didn't stop me eating pies....I just check before I munch these days. My wife's face when I showed her it.... :lol: :lol:

If this happened in the US, the above statement would include a settlement amount. Maybe 20,000 dollars or something like that. I like the way the British did it, say your sorry and move on, no giant nationwide circus. Don't kid yourself, my friend. Compo culture is well and truly over here too. Ask any business or local authority. :angry2:

Wait. She didn't see that glove BEFORE she sliced it? It looks like mould! Maybe I'm finicky... But, I tend to check bread all over before I use it. How did she miss that?!
