How much do you get paid for swallowing a sword? You don't get it! Money reimburses you for an injury suffered due to someone else's negligence. So, prove what your injuries and damages are.

The restaurant owner may not believe you, but even if he did there would be only minor damages since apparently you have not suffered any injury from the episode.

Don't you want to tell anybody what the facts are? you might swallow anything anywhere. Why would that be a liability case?

You have a claim. Did you notify the restaurant and seek medical attention. Any witnesses? The answers to those questions will determine the outcome.

Maybe; make your claim and see if they accept it. If accepted, payment should be based on the extent of the injury.

The issue is was there negligence and were you injured as a proximate result of the negligence?

I assume you are saying that the glass was in the food and you did not know it at the time. Then how did you determine that you swallowed glass? Where is the glass now? You can get compensated for your medical expenses and your injuries, but you have to prove what happened to you. See a lawyer.
