Human Tongue Accidentally Served Up in Hospital

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
A human tongue has been served up in a hospital canteen's chicken
risotto -- and bosses reckon it was accidentally dropped into the food
by a doctor.

Slovenian officials are investigating after a doctor complained about
a strange piece of meat on his plate.

Ananova.com revealed the doctor insisted it was not chicken and after
some intense bickering it was sent away for tests -- and found to be
part of a human tongue.

Inspectors have closed the canteen in Izola, southern Slovenia, to
review hygiene standards.

Bosses believe a doctor could have unwittingly dropped the tongue in
the food after treating a patient.

A hospital spokesman insisted: "I can say clearly that we have never
used patients' parts in any of our dishes."
