I ate out yesterday and there was corn in the salad. All the other ingredients were considered KFP(tuna, lettuce, tomato, extra virgin olive oil). I realized it after a few bites.

I was eating at a KFP cafeteria that is open durring Passover to accomidate students. There are a few people on staff who just serve and added the corn in error, I should have said that in my question. I am Ashkenazi and do not eat kitniot durring Pesach. For those of you who don't understand Kosher law, why even bother answering this question? I am asking for myself, I don't need sarcasm, I got enough of that at my Seder!

In the grand scheme of things, is this really of major importance? Be glad you had something to eat. Many thousands are starving.

I have no idea what the guy above me (L_E_Eser)said, but it sounds like you shouldn't have eaten out unless it was a restaurant where all of the food was kosher. I can see where he's coming from on this. While the food (other than the corn) that you ate could have been KFP, because they served corn (which I guess is not a KFP) then the utinsels used in preparing the rest of it might not have been. But he also makes it sound like eating corn in your home or in the home of someone keeping kosher wouldn't have been a big deal.
If my summation is right, then it sounds like you didn't keep kosher because you ate out at a non-Kosher restaurant, not because you ate corn.
So, how did I do? I'm not Jewish, but the whole keeping Kosher is interesting to me.

Corn is actually not hametz, but only a kitnit.
There is no big deal about eating kitni'ot, in fact many religious Sefardim do so.
Ashkenazim, of course refrain from them, but that is a far cry from eating actual leaven.
The previous paragraphs apply to eating in your own home, or that of someone who keeps the Passover commandments.
On the other hand, you may "eat out" only at a restaurant that is certified as Kosher for Passover. Otherwise, everything you eat there may very well be hametz.

I would hope the God you worship, if He is out there, recognizes that you were trying and thinks of your intent.

OH dear jesus, you'll have to take some ex lax and get it out of yoursystem immediately, we might have to operate! I don't think any adverse effects will occur from eating corn on a monday.

Nothing you can do now. Maybe next year you will get it right. You should have listened to your mother!
