A family has revealed how they were surprised to have found a used dishcloth inside a store-bought pie.
Painter Leigh Sylvester had eaten a quarter of the beef and onion pie before discovering the dirty piece of material.
Wife Vicky told Metro: "It was shocking and looked like it had been used for wiping machinery or something.
"It was heavily stained and made all our stomachs heave."
The hospital worker had purchased the meal from a Farmfoods store in Wolverton, Milton Keynes, and added that her family had been forever put off pies.
"It was revolting. The cloth wasn't even clean, it had stains all over it. I don't know if it's their new flavour they are trying out - cloth and onion pie," she said.
"The worst thing of all is that we don't know what the cloth had been used on."
Sylvester added that she rejected compensations of £20 and £50 from the store, saying: "We're not eating pie ever again, let alone stepping foot into the shop again."
A Farmfoods spokesperson stated that they have passed on the complaint to the pie's manufacturer FreshPack.
