I usually eat their vegetarian burrito for breakfast - I gave up on beef and pork a while ago so I can’t eat their other offerings.

This morning I ate their black bean and chile burrito, and beside the fact that I hated it, I bit on a damn rock inside of it!

They are a small local company in Colorado, so I won’t call them to complain and ask for money for pain and suffering, but I have to tell you that chewing on a rock makes the worst sound in your mouth.

I’d ask for a free burrito

They cost me $1.75. If they sent me a box of free burritos, it might be worth it. One burrito, meh.

That’s a gastrolith. It helps break down tough leaves and grasses in your gut.

On the grounds that said free burrito is of the Chicken Caesar variety.

That’s not a burrito, that’s an abomination.

At least tell them; I think they’d want to know about quality control issues.

Give them a call to let them know, especially since their a small company. One little problem in their process could mean curtains for the entire organization.

That sounds reasonable enough...

I had a chicken caesar wrap, never a burrito.

You should really get one. I have two.

I would tell them about it. They would want to know.

It’s not uncommon to find small rocks in pinto or black beans. Standard procedure when prepping the beans for the pot is to sort through the beans to remove any broken beans and any rocks. Rinse the beans thoroughly, then cook.

It sounds like they didn’t follow procedure.

Southern fried chicken gizzards

I just looked - no email, no social media presence, phone number disconnected. I guess I can complain to the grocery store chain where I bought them.

Interesting. Yeah, it wouldn’t hurt to tell the grocery store.

Trust me, I know - I grew up in Yugoslavia and our version of pinto beans was something I sorted through many a time looking for bad beans and rocks and twigs etc.

This was my dinner twice a week - every Monday and Friday for a few decades. Mom would cook them in a pressure cooker, and there would be at least 6 servings in there - enough for three of us to eat twice.

Looks yummy, although I know how easy it is to get tired of beans. Our family went through a lean period where rice and beans were on the dinner menu several nights a week. Lunch was the ever so popular peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Everyone should experience stuff like that so that they can appreciate things more down the road.

Better than the glass shard i bit into last week. My love for local Cuban is now heavily diminished.

Agreed. My in-laws grew up dirt poor, so they have a fit when they see our kids wanting for anything. They forgot that adversity creates character and perseverance is a learned skill.

Damn! Did you at least get comped?

Yes i did and the owner was very apologetic. However, once bitten twice shy.
