We’ve all heard horror stories about airline food, but perhaps no one has a story quite as horrifying as that of this flight attendant.
That’s because the poor SunExpress employee only discovered the severed snake’s head in their lunch after they had already consumed the majority of it.
The horrific video demonstrates how the skull was uncovered at the base of a ravioli dish with lush greens last week during a journey from Turkey to Germany.
The dreadful discovery was made on July 21 while airline crew was working an early flight from the Turkish capital Ankara to Düsseldorf.
The low-cost airline Flight XQ794 departed from Turkey at 3.30 am local time on its three hours and 45 minute journey to western Germany.
The group sat down for breakfast while in the air, which appeared to include a hot dish of ravioli and greens, a drink, a side salad, and a bread roll.
When the poor steward in question spotted the reptile head at the bottom of the food container, they had already consumed around half of their supper.
The snake’s head, which is expertly concealed among the foliage and is roughly the size of a huge grape, has been severed from the body right below the skull.
What little of its body is still visible appears to be dark green or black and has noticeable yellow stripes running along its length.
There are several dozen natural, venomous snake species in Turkey, but none of them appear to be the same as the snake discovered on the trip.
Sancak Inflight, as identified by the local media, is the catering business that SunExpress says it has halted pending the outcome of an investigation.
According to Gazete Duvar, staff members have previously reported finding snails and mold in the company’s food, thus this is not the first time issues have been raised.
It is our primary responsibility to ensure that the services we offer to our passengers aboard our aircraft are of the greatest caliber and that both our guests and personnel have a comfortable and safe flight experience, according to an airline spokesman.
“A thorough inquiry has been started in response to the complaints and media reports surrounding in-flight meal service.
“All precautionary precautions and procedures, including suspending the supply of the relevant product, have been adopted immediately,” according to the statement.
Sancak, however, vehemently disputed that the snake head came from one of its facilities and claimed that it had to have been added to the food after the meal had left the plant.
‘SunExpress Airlines is a valuable client in our nation and a well-known airline in Europe.
It recently made the decision to further expand its fleet and route network,’ a spokesman added.
A new call for bids for on-board food was made.
“Due to the technical and temperature circumstances employed in the in-flight catering facilities, we did not use any of the foreign objects that were allegedly in the food when cooking,” the statement reads.
