In restaurant eating with my friend now. He found a very long hair of woman in the plate. We are hesitating whether to tell them to pay attention next time, or just say nothing...

What would you do? Are we just being picky?

I found a hair in a dish in quite a good French restaurant in Soho some moons ago, I'm not squeemish about stuff like that and it didn't bother me but I certainly thought it was my duty to let the waitress know as I know some people would freak out over it.

She was mortified even though I said I wasn't worried. We had an amazing meal and they refused to charge anything.

Moral of the story: Always carry a long hair when visiting expensive restaurants.

Ask for the FINDERLOHN of some CHF 25.--

Alors we told the server. He apologized. Finally they offered the drinks we ordered for free, and we gave a little more tip than usually.

Question: How can you be absolutely sure it's from a woman and not a man? There are lots of very long haired blokes around as well, n'est pas?

You need only worry if it's curly and damp

A long hair on a plate won´t freak me out as much as a short curly one.

Wow. This thread went gross at the speed of sound.

I don't know...did you pick it up or just left it there?

I would insist to have it exchanged for six ,blond or red curly self picked hair.

Wolly you are one smart cookie, but you still have to learn .Never mind the finderlohn ,I would want to see the owner

My wife's are even longer, and dyed.

I pulled what looked to be a long hair out of my food in one restaurant, but in the end it turned out to be a large rabbit. The big floppy ears were a dead giveaway.

Gotta go with grump's reply, I'd tell them and keep eating. If they comp you something, great, if not it's up to you if you return or not (or tip or not). If folks knew what goes on in the average pro kitchen a hair would be the least of their worries

What? Screech wasn't that bad.

Could have been worse ...... it could have been a dirty fork.
