HOUSTON - Ernestine Jamison cooks vegetables for her four children every night in their north Houston apartment.

But when she opened a bag of Pictsweet frozen cut green beans last month, she found more than just green beans.

“I saw something in there I wasn’t for sure what it was. I thought it was a rock because it was hard,” said Jamison.

What she found wasn’t a rock at all. Upon further review, the Jamison family believes the green and black frozen object nestled in their dinner was a severed snake head.

“When I saw it was a snake's head I just threw it down and called my kids and said I got a snake head in the green beans, everybody said ‘oh lord, you got a snake head in the green beans," said Jamison.

After the screaming subsided, 15-year-old Sarah Jamison grabbed her camera and took video and pictures of their uninvited dinner guest.

“I saw big eyes, with a mouth open and a tongue coming out, it looked like it was ready to attack," said Sarah.

Jamison called Pictsweet, and they offered her $150.

But she wasn’t looking for money and turned it down.

A letter sent by the company’s insurance provider to Jamison claims Pictsweet “is not responsible for this accident,” and they are “denying liability.”

The company also claims it wasn’t a snake head at all. They say it was a frog head. “But it's still gross whether it's a frog or snake,” said Jamison.

Now this mother has to try harder than ever just to get her kids eats their greens.

“Vegetables, umm, I don't look at vegetables the same, I never really liked the vegetables but like now I can't even go near vegetables," said 17-year-old Mariam Jamison.

FOX 26 News attempted to contact Pictsweet several times in recent weeks to respond to this story, but they did not return our calls.
