Just now I was eating lunch: the same meal I've had way too many times this summer, peanut butter on some type of bread product, this time on bagels from the Co-Op. I was merrily chewing away when I bit down on something hard but not crunchy, that was definitely not a peanut. Closer inspection revealed the object to be a woody twig, cylindrical in shape, about 20 mm long and 2 mm in diameter. I would certainly have seen it if it were on the outside of the bagel, and it seems highly unlikely that the twig was baked into the bagel. The only likely source of the twig, then, would be the chunky peanut butter I was eating. In all likelihood the twig came from the stem of a peanut plant and somehow was not removed during processing.
