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.

the headline was "Waiter, there's a space missile in my soup!"When I was an annoying 8 year old, my Mum's friend, who was a journo, decided to write a series of articles about posh restaurants coping with irritating kids.
He went undercover with - you guessed it - me to several places.
My memories are quite foggy, but I remember at one (chinese, I think) place, I took along a space rocket toy which fired little plastic missiles.
I accidentally set one off, and it was impossible to trace. I had a load of waiters searching around for it, as I was quite upset about losing a 1cm long piece of plastic.
