Mealbreaker
(n.): a nasty, non-edible surprise found in food while it is being eaten;
often lawsuit-provoking, sometimes fabricated, always disgusting.

One Belfast
Beattie, who
had purchased the fish at a Tesco location in Belfast
The parasite,
known as the tongue-eating louse or Cymothoa exigua, enters a fish through its
gills and attaches itself to the creature's tongue. Once in place, the louse
destroys the fish's tongue, replacing it. The louse does not appear to hurt the fish in any other way. They're not
believed to be dangerous to humans, although they can bite if picked up alive.
A Tesco
spokesman stressed that the company wishes to undertake an "an urgent and thorough investigation" of
the fish's supplier, Yahoo writes. "We have very high standards for food
quality," he said. "[B]oth we and our suppliers have robust checks in
place to ensure that our food meets those standards." It has asked Beattie
to provide the fish in question to aid the investigation.
