Finger food: the case of the custard

 

David Pescovitz: A man in North Carolina found a finger in a container of gourmet ice cream from Kohl's Frozen Custard in Wilmington, North Carolina. Customer Clarence Stowers discovered the digit when he dug into his chocolate desert at home. Fortunately, the finger in this case was quickly identified. ("Finger food: Wendy's chili" backgrounder here.) The right index fingertip formerly belonged to an employee who severed it in a custard-dispensing machine accident. From WWAY NewsChannel 3 in Wilmington:

"I said 'Gosh this ice cream is good.' Then I said, 'Gosh, there's something hard in my ice cream," said Clarence, remembering the moments before he found the finger. Clarence said he wished he'd realized it was a finger before he tried to eat it. "I proceeded to put the object in my mouth. Got all the ice cream off of it, spit it in my hand, said 'God, this ain't no nut!' So I proceeded in here to the kitchen, rinsed it off with water, and realized it was a human finger, and I just started screaming," he said.
