Just a hard learned warning! Yesterday, I went out to lunch with a friend, while eating my salad, I crunched down on an olive and the olive had a pit in it. Yes, you guessed it, I broke a tooth! Why they didn't mention that the olives were not pitted, I will never know.

Oh - that's AWFUL!!! A broken tooth is terrible.
Will you head to a dentist for repair? Brace yourself for the cost.

GRANA here; finding an unexpectedpit olive pit or bone (in boneless cutlet)s can happen even @ home

; so awful you had your nice lunch spoiled by that occurence.

Years ago a neighbor treated us to lunch in the then & still best Chinese restaurat i n town. I ordered the crab & veggie stir fry lunch special & nearly choked; but quietly removed the plastic from my mouth. from the imitation crab sticks used in the dish.Our nighbor called over the owner who gave all 4 of us our meals "on the house" The menu didn't sy i t was mitation crab even then the cook should have removed the wrapper; but " STUFF HAPPPENS" & its always best ( at home o r away) to be carefull & observant

I did the some thing years ago with a black olive. I too fractured a tooth. Most restaurants do serve pitted black olives in the salads. I guess it' s eater beware.

It is so upsetting when something bad happens while you are out trying to enjoy a good meal. It is bad enough when you simply don't like the food (that is never cheap). But having a terrible experience - like breaking a tooth - is enough to make you give up on going out to eat. I know mistakes are made and things do happen, but it is hard to enjoy your food if you have to "search" for hazzards as you are trying to eat.

Anytime we eat at a restaurant (which is rare) it is always good for 2 or 3 meals. I eat all I want and take the rest home. the portions are so huge there is no way I could eat it all. Even my husband usually has enough to take home for a second meal. That makes the price of the meal cut in half.

So very sorry to hear about your tooth Angela. Years ago I broke two molars within a month, eating popcorn of all things. Never a good experience not to mention the cost.

The cost ...........
Isn't dental work INCREDIBLY expensive? Oh, with a good dentist it's worth it but the cost is still staggering.

Just today my husband had a chicken cutlet for lunch in a restaurant and found a good-sized piece of bone in it. Fortunately it was large enough that he discovered it right away, didn't chew it or swallow it. My comment was that at least he knew the meat was real chicken!

Did have my dentist meet me at his office (great guy) and placed a temp so that my tongue wasn't raw and will definitely need a crown/cap. $$$ It was only the responsibility of the restaurant to let us know that there were pits in the olives. Fortunately, I am not a person that immediately looks for compensation from the restaurant. As a former Dental Hygienist, I know that teeth can break on something as soft as mashed potatoes if they have large restorations.

Years ago my mother was eating some kind of candy bar and bit onto something that wasn't supposed to be in it. She wrote to the company so they would be aware of odd things that might be in their products. She also told them that she had broken a tooth. They told her to send them the dental bill and they paid it. She didn't ask for compensation, but was just giving them information.
Of course that was something that didn't belong in the candy bar, not something natural like a pit or bone
