A hair in your food

I've seen what happens when my cats eat hair and anyone whose read Neil Gaiman's Sandman series will know of trichobezoar. In light of that I tend to avoid eating hair regardless of whose it is.

With hair in food I'll send it back - it should not be there, it shows a lapse in food hygiene and it should be brought to the attention of the restaurant so they can deal with it. Together with natural hair grease and sweat most people's hair contains "hair product", whether that is shampoo residue, conditioner, gel, wax, and it is also contaminated by airborne pollutants such as soot and carbon monoxide, and if the hair is there then other head detritus is likely to be present too - while the concentrations of these are infinitesimal and harmless it is the fact that the kitchen/waiting staff can allow it into the food they prepare and serve is of greater concern. Of course with sending any food back in a restaurant there is no guarantee that the replacement isn't laced with chef's spit or worse. 

Happy eatin'

I'd pick the hair out of my food, though.

 

Q: what's the last noise before the pubic hair hits the ground???
