get a fresher iceberg for close-up pics next time... >.< and cucumber too :/
most veges at grocery stores are not so fresh anyways, but still, try to pick those that look fresh or cut all the old-looking part out for pics. your pics are too good and clear for those poor old veges! i sure hate to show all my wrinkles in a pic too!
Maybe it happens to me because I'm extra cautious when it comes to food and paying too much attention or maybe it is some sick kind of luck, but it happens a lot. I had wasp in a cookie 3 times. Whole dead wasp deep inside. Once I had 2cm long piece of plastic in some frozen prepared junk food. Worms in other fruits and berries is a pretty rare thing, chances of fiding it in strawberry are close to 0, in cherry it is ~1-3%, but if you ever tried to eat raspberries right from a bush... oh well, depends on year and region, but up to 70% of berries have a small white worm inside, so I can't eat it without looking into every single one. I have a lot of little paranoias, when it comes to food I guess, but all of those are real life based, I swear!
I noticed it doesn't look too good, but decided "meh, let it be documentary". Other half of that poor cucumber was used before and it's edge didn't get a proper care. As for the salad, it comes from the store already with those brownish spots of oxygenated areas, even the deepest leaves have it.
