A
customer who ordered fried noodles from a restaurant in Changsha, Hunan
province, China on July 25th, forced the restaurant's owner to eat a cockroach
he said he found in his food.
After
the customer found the supposed cockroach, he told the restaurant owner to
either eat the cockroach or pay him 5,000 yuan (£569).
The
owner ate the cockroach instead. But the customer wasn't a man of his word, as
he kept demanding money from the owner, adding that he needed to be compensated
financially for the bad experience he had, but the owner refused to give in to
the customer's demands.
According
to the owner and other customers, the restaurant had been running for 11 years and
had never encountered problems like this.
Some
workers at the restaurant claimed that they thought they were being blackmailed
by the customer. One worker even fought tears while she talked to reporters who
came to interview them, saying she was upset that her boss had been forced to
eat the insect.
After
the incident, on July 26, the Food and Drug Administration visited the
restaurant for an inspection and discovered that the restaurant was using
outdated equipment and did not have the necessary means to rid the
establishment of flies or rats.
The
FDA then ordered the restaurant to close for five days so that they could make
the necessary changes.
