A TGI Friday’s diner in Albany, New York was surprised when his dish arrived with a severed snake’s head stuck in his broccoli. The man snapped a photo with his cell phone, then called a waiter over to complain. He claims to have no plans to sue the restaurant, and his meal was comped.
The restaurant confirmed that the snake head wasn’t cooked, so it’s unlikely that it was just an example of a snake hiding in a box of uncooked produce when shipped. The snake’s exact species remains undisclosed at this time.
So how could this have happened? A whole snake would be one thing, but this one was chopped up at some point. If it were my restaurant, I’d be checking every dish for more snake parts. It’s not so much that eating snake meat is horrible — in quite a few parts of the world, snake is either a delicacy or just another animal to be slaughtered for food. But without knowing what kind of snake it was, we don’t know if it’s even safe to eat, especially uncooked.
Here’s what I think. No, sorry, here’s what I hope: Samuel L. Jackson in the sequel to his thrilling airborne adventure: Snakes In A Restaurant. C’mon. You can’t even see the word “snake” these days without thinking of that movie … even if you haven’t seen it yourself. And you have to admit that the idea of Sam Jackson running around constantly bedeviled by snakes is pretty appealing. Ooh, even better! Sam Jackson teams up with Indiana Jones and his well-publicized fear/hatred of snakes: hilarity and hi-jinks ensue. Hey, don’t even start in with talk about how Indy would be too old, you just read a story about a man finding a beheaded snake in his broccoli. As far as I’m concerned, all bets are off.
