Just found this in my donner kebab, can you identify what it is?
I was just eating a donner kebab, not sure if it’s something to be alarmed about ( looks like a worm to me ) or if it’s just spice that is tricking me.
It’s about 2/3mm across and is very hard. I can’t see anything moving... yet [grin]
Thank you for your help in advance, hopefully this is in-topic :)

I strongly suspect that you are looking at a capsicum seed. In other words, you either had a piece of jalapeño, pickled pepperoni, or a sprinkle of pul biber (crushed red pepper). They are flat, about 2mm wide with that little tip.
The “worm” is actually the embryonic part of the seed. There are a few edible seeds which seem to have a “worm”, e.g. this Q/A on our site.
