Picture: Siam Rath

 

A Thai mum called in the media after her daughter found something suspicious in a well-known brand of tinned fish.

 

It looked a bit like fish bones but on closer inspection there was no doubt - it was a centipede. 

 

Wilaiwan, who had ordered two tins of fish in a delivery from a convenience store, immediately contacted the company who produced the fish and was told to wait a week then someone would come round.

 

Why did I have to wait a week, thought mum.

 

Fearing that the centipede would be shrivelled up by that time she turned to Siam Rath.

When their reporter arrived at the house in Thatoom, Prachinburi, and called the sales rep at the company they said: "We're on our way immediately".

 

Wilaiwan said it was just as well her 12 year old daughter Patthitta is so observant. 

 

She wants the company to investigate and improve their production methods. 

 

And she'll be checking every tin of tinned fish from now on. 

 

Not surprisingly in defamation crazy Thailand the brand of fish was not mentioned. 

 

Consumers can find themselves facing lawsuits just for complaining or stating the truth, notes ASEAN NOW.

And this is the issue.... 

 

.... Why bother with standards when there is no accountability and the only risk with these issues is placed on the customer who could be sued if such information becomes public. 

 

 

In their current guise Thailands defamation laws are so very wrong at almost every facet of industry and society across the nation and are wholly damaging to the development of the nation. 

 

 

I think Thailand has reached the maximum level of development given the crazy laws on defamation.

In case you missed it, centipedes are filled with nutrients and helpful toxins.

It could have been worse if they were eating and found half a centipede.

 the centipede, is predacious, meaning that it hunts prey, and is capable of inflicting a painful bite on humans. However, once the head – and its pincers - is removed, a centipede makes a nutritious, tasty morsel.

You could say the same about a human.....

Thats creepy! Only last week I found an anchovy in a can of centipedes. What's the world coming to.....

OK, she paid for the canned fish.
But did she pay for the centipede?
Otherwise she will be billed by the company for the centipede.

There's an idea for winning the next election - promise to remove the defamation laws.

The centipede is dead. He won't eat anything

Yep,  for sure they called them Long Pig.

They say that Human taste like Pig , One has to ask the cannibals.

What's the best part of a human to eat?

The thighs would be among the most nutrient-dense parts, packing in 13,354 calories; the upper arms would provide 7,451 calories; the brain and spinal cord 2,706, the liver 2,569 and the heart just 650. All of that, however, would not last long—and here is where cannibalism becomes a bad survival strategy.Apr 6, 2560 BE

Usually, when i have opened a tin of fish in tomato sauce in Thailand, i end up searching for the fish ...... In Europe you get twice as much sardine in a can.

Just watch how she enjoys every luscious and tasty bit of all those scolopendra she grilled.
