Whilst I have a high threshold when it comes to general hygiene in restaurants and other catering services. A cooked cockroach embedded in the cheese on a pizza in Paquis this weekend went a bit too far.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could report this to a local food standards agency or similar? Not for compensation, just because I don't think they should be serving food if the kitchen is in a terrible condition

Is that for reporting cruelty to cockroaches?
Why would consommation and vetenaires be the same department?

'Chez' for Chef ,,,, rue des Buis 1
I guess it was a fusion Thai Pizza? Thai normally they deapfry them
Maybe this is a Fusion Pizza resto?
Was it a German cockroach or Asian roach
I find German cockroaches everywhere and they can easly make hundreds in a week.

I'd just like to steer this discussion away from Thai defamation.
The Thais are among the most scrupulously clean and hygenic people in the world and they don't normally eat cockroaches. People often think they do because they see large, cooked bugs and assume that they are cockroaches, but they are typically giant fruit or water bugs. The water bugs are usually farmed and taste a bit fishy while the friut bugs are collected from mango trees and, as long as you eat the right parts, taste pleasantly of mangoes.

Sorry - but there's no cockroaches in that lot.
There's various beetles, crickets, locusts, silkworms and giant water bugs (all of which I have eaten; in fact I used to live in the same district as the market in the video). The guy refers to what he's eating as a cockroach, but he admits in the comments that he got it wrong.

I quite clearly did not imply that.
Quote, 'The Thais are among the most scrupulously clean and hygenic people in the world and they don't normally eat cockroaches.'
So you clearly did imply that other persons eating cockroaches are not scrupulously clean and hygenic.

I'm reluctant to take this discussion even further off-topic by providing a basic lesson in semantic logic, so you should probably just read it more carefully.

Some people eat for substand and Gastronomy.
But in some parts of the world they eat JUST too live, that could includes anything.Does this make them 'UNscrupulously clean and UNhygenic people'.
Traditionally, religiously and culturally food is loved in one culture and hated/shun'd/grossed out/avoided by others. Me included.
Funny how some people make slight destinctions as 'scrupulously clean and hygenic people'. Dispite what others might consider 'scrupulously clean and hygenic people'.
So lets all go eat some Pizza :) with whatever toppings you like or ask for 'surprise Pizza' / Pizza maison'

So, if your are 'reluctant to take this discussion even further off-topic by providing a basic lesson in semantic logic'
why do you provide the basic lesson in semantic logic?
I think you need a study of semantic logic, so I provide you a link for the basics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics
Its like 'Reluctant but providing' even further, almost a double negative.

To avoid any further confusion, I was attempting to state two facts:
1. Thai people are generally clean and hygenic
AND
2. Thai people don't usually eat cockroaches.
Hence my use of "and" and not "therefore".
I hope this clears it up so we can all relax and get back to talking about contaminated pizzas.

It's your imagination.
There are up to 160 behavioral indicators used to diagnose ADHD, none of which relate to the percieved relevance of on-line forum posts.
And now the obligatory misconception of ADHD reference:
"Oh look! A squirrel!" et.c. e.tc.
