What was meant to be a calm, enjoyable dinner quickly turned into a moment of real concern. We had ordered simple dishes at a cozy restaurant, expecting nothing more than a relaxed evening and good conversation. After a few bites of a salad, however, something unusual caught our attention, and the atmosphere at the table shifted almost instantly. It was no longer about enjoying the meal, but about uncertainty and caution.
As we looked more closely, my friend noticed small dark particles scattered throughout the salad. At first, we assumed they might be seeds, spices, or some type of seasoning commonly used in modern cuisine. But the more we examined them, the more uneasy we became. They didn’t look intentional, and that growing doubt quickly turned into worry.
