Uh... Is that a tongue in my chicken risotto?...

FoxNews reports that a "human tongue has been served up in a hospital canteen's chicken risotto — and bosses reckon it was accidentally dropped into the food by a doctor.
Slovenian officials are investigating after a doctor complained about a strange piece of meat on his plate.
Ananova.com revealed the doctor insisted it was not chicken and after some intense bickering it was sent away for tests — and found to be part of a human tongue.
Inspectors have closed the canteen in Izola, southern Slovenia, to review hygiene standards.
Bosses believe a doctor could have unwittingly dropped the tongue in the food after treating a patient.
A hospital spokesman insisted: "I can say clearly that we have never used patients' parts in any of our dishes."

"...it was accidentally dropped into the food by a doctor." What the?! And how the heck do you "unwittingly" drop a tongue into someone's food. Do you just say "Oops"?

Hey thanks for your visit. Do take a look at Lost just to see how irritating the scrolling or perhaps popup commentary was! Grrr.

Wow a human tongue in hospital food? Yeah, there's no way a doctor could have dropped that and not known .. what would he or she have been doing carrying a human tongue around anyway. Strange story!

Thanks for the comment, Tricia. Too bad the patient and hospital was in Slovenia. If it had happened in the US, then a big lawsuit would have taught the doctor and hospital one expensive lesson.
