I can guarantee this is entirely true, since I was actually there.
When we were teenagers in Ireland we went to eat at a real greasy, nasty chicken establishment (I sat this visit out and went for a kebab some time later, the reason for the delay coming up).
My friend got a six piece box and took a bite from a thigh, only to be squirted in the mouth and face with a thick fluid of a greenish white consistency he thought it was a sauce until his gag reflex took over- it was massive cyst in the chicken. If we had had enough sense, we could have sued for cash, but as it was, the poor nauseated guy got a refund and a few extra quid for mouthwash.
And that is why I will not eat anything breaded or dipped in coatings.
I have a similar tale of vomit and garlic sauce, but that is for another day...

Reminds me of a SNL skit with guest host John Larroquette. He had just died and was asking his guardian angel (or some such afterworld being) about things in his life he didn't know about. He asked "What was the grossest thing I ever ate?" The answer was "You really don't want to know."
So he went with "What's the 10th (or so) grossest thing I ever ate?" and so on.
It's always fun to remember that, with respect to food inspections, there are thresholds for a lot of things we would consider totally gross higher than "Any present". In other words, it may not be a question of having any rat hairs in the peanut butter... but too many rat hairs in the peanut butter.
