‘Found frog in burger’: Just 30 of the worst Takeaway Traumas so far

Only homemade salads and tap water for me now thanks


Sometimes, ordering a rogue takeaway is like playing Russian Roulette. You get a random craving for a kebab and cheesy chips at one o’clock in the afternoon, order from the nearest van (seven miles away) and realise, in the harsh light of sobriety, that what you’re eating is actually shit.

I speak from experience. I’ve been the person finding a pube three layers of sauce deep in a chicken alfredo pasta pot. I’ve ordered rice from a generic chain-brand-rip-off-shop only to find out the chef scoops each portion out with their bare, unwashed hands. I once found a whole TWIG, encrusted in mud, in a chicken sandwich. It’s okay. There’s no shame here.

Thanks to Instagram account Takeaway Trauma (@takeawaytrauma), those of us addicted to greasy fast food get to feel a little less alone in our pain. Here are some of the best (well, worst) reviews:
