I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
Below is a good reason to inspect what your eating before shoving it in your mouth, its a small snail the same size as a frozen pea as it happens, may explain why it got through the crap filter but later missed by whatever colour/ visual stuff they use to remove weird objects.
After finding the poor snail midway through my steak, chips and peas I finished dinner (i know some of you would have thrown up or stopped eating at that stage but not me!) and took a picture against a 5 pence piece and emailed farmfoods who are investigating further.
wonder what the goodwill gesture they are sending in the form of a voucher will be worth..

ewwww...
Although, like yourself, there's no way a snail would stop me eating a steak!
I bet they offer ~50 quid.
Re: I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
Were they labelled as Petit Pois? If so, congratulations, you've won the 'Find the Escargot!' prize.

Add some garlic butter and you are good to go...

im betting £10 to £20 or a voucher for a bag of peas :)
i fished it out, took a good look, placed it next to the plate, flicked through the rest of the peas to see if its brother was there, commented to the wife that may well be the reason she commented the peas were a little gritty (we both laughed) then commented i was glad i found it and it didn't get eaten by my 2 year old then carried on with dinner!

Actually nor have I, but that's just because I've never had the opportunity in recent years. I did when I was in France with my parents, but I wasn't even a teenager at that point, no way was I going to eat a snail at that age!

True! If I came across that, it's fair to say I would have thrown up straight away! eww!
Re: I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
Remove the shell and eat. I've always enjoyed them.
But with my steak, chips and peas.. perhaps not!

Re: I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
They may charge you extra for that snail!!
Re: I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
I think for your prize you might be awarded a bag of frozen snails, I just hope you don't get one with a pea that got through the crap filter.
;)
Re: I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
I'd have carried on eating too - it's been boiled, there can't be too many nasties left.
Re: I never expected to find this in my frozen peas.
well we got a tenner from it. still awaiting the suppliers comments.
