Woman swears to become a vegetarian after finding this horrifying thing in her meat from Lidl

She may never eat meat again after this mishap. In Bedford, north London, a 25-year-old woman just wanted to enjoy her Sunday lunch with friends. The menu? A whole chicken, which she had bought from Lidl. But the chicken was more 'whole' than she expected.

Sudden loss of appetite

This story took place at the very beginning of 2022. Mercedes Checkley, a young British woman working as the team leader in an old people's home in Bedford, was planning to spend a good Sunday afternoon with her friends. For the occasion, she bought a roast chicken from Lidl, put it in the oven and seasoned it. So far, nothing unusual. But the mood started to change as the meal began. According to Metro, she said:

My flat mate heard me making a strange noise and realized something was wrong

A piece of inedible chicken had made its way into the meat, and Mercedes was left completely appalled.

Raw chicken foot

The piece was in fact a whole chicken leg, and the young British woman was not expecting it:

I think it was the shock. At first, it was disbelief and almost funny because I was shocked but then reality set in and I went very faint and was physically sick.

Mercedes was left visibly left traumatised by this horrifying incident. So much so that she vowed never to eat meat again and plans to turn vegetarian instead. She said that every time she sees a roast chicken, which was one of her favourite dishes, she is reminded of the chicken foot. Mercedes registered a complaint to Lidl, to which they responded and said that they had contacted the supplier to try to find out why the incident occurred.
