<strong>Suffolk housewife Lorraine Fisher was amazed when the face of Popeye the Sailor appeared in her roast chicken dinner.</strong>

She was about to tuck into the tasty chicken and rice dish when the vision appeared.



"I was gobsmacked," said Ms Fisher, 34, from Haverhill. "I don't normally go around looking for faces in things, especially my dinner, but there he was. It's definitely Popeye."

She had no idea why the popular strongman cartoon character should appear in her chicken.

"I didn't even have spinach on my plate," joked Ms Fisher in reference to Popeye's love of the tinned green vegetable.

Despite the spooky vision, Ms Fisher said she was so hungry that she ate the Popeye-faced chicken anyway.

"I'd been working in Asda all day and was starving, so no wonky-eyed, pipe-smoking bloke was going to put me off my food."

Fortunately she took a photograph of the chicken before demolishing it, washing it down with a glass of cider.

"I did check my husbands plate, but no face appeared in his chicken," she confirmed.

The love of his life is Olive, who is also the subject of attention from Popeye's nemesis Bluto.
