Grasshopper?

Dear Sir:

I realize that the Contract
Cafeteria is trying to have
more variety in their diet, but
when I found a decapitated
grasshopper in my salad today it
really amazed me.

I know that we pay a very small
amount for our food in the
Contract service, but I thought that
people cleaning the food had
enough sense to recognize a
grasshopper from clods of earth.

This food is really what people
say it is - food that Genghis Khan
served to his Golden Horde.

It would help if the Contract
would refrain from putting a fly or
even a few grasshoppers in our diet.
It would also help if the
management was not so ignorant of
the complaints that come in.
