Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

In provincial eastern Europe,I found that vegetarianism was unheard of.
In southern Hungary, a 'vegetarian' pizza was such an alien idea that the chef struggled to come up with enough ingredients, and I was served a pizza topped with tinned sweetcorn and peas.
In Poland, my 'vegetarian' pizza had every vegetable under the sun on it, including broccoli.
Eating out in Szeged, Hungary, in the poshest restaurant we could find for a birthday party, I was served 'the' vegetarian option, which seemed to be fried mushrooms served in a brown fatty sauce. Horrible. Oh, and a 'tomato salad', which was a tomato sliced up on a little plate.
Everything in Hungary was a combination of meat/deep fried/thick sauce, with hardly any fresh vegetables.
They have wonderful desserts though, which almost makes up for it.
I still lost about a stone!
