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.

HamStayed at the Ambassador's Hotel in York (sounds posh - isn't). Went down for the breakfast, which was included. Entering the dining room it quickly became apparent that the main contingent of the guests were hefty hairy germans whose breakfast of choice involved a selection of stomach churning cold sausages.
We ordered the continental breakfast expecting some jam/roll combination. The waitress brought out a plate with a roll, croissant nestled together with a thick slice of ham. As a veggie being faced with cold meat at that time of a morning it was all I could do not to retch. Says I to the waitress 'I'm sorry, but I don't eat meat' (so english to apologise for it) 'Could you please bring me one without the ham on?'. She whisked my plate off without a word and returned seconds later with the same plate now featuring a ham shaped gap, a sheen of grease still visible on the surface of the plate.
'Did you just take the ham off and bring it back?' I said, coaxingly, like you might to a child who won't own up to some miscievous deed'.
'No' she said sheepishly.
'Bring me a NEW one'
