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.

My own faultMy daughter and I visited my brother stationed in Giessen Germany. We toured some big ass castle-it was quite nice really and decided to have lunch at the castle restaurant. Now I pride myself on not being an Ugly American (usually) so I had taken a couple of German Berlitz language courses. The 20 year old waiter was so cute, I was desperate to impress him and so asked for the German menu. "I'll show him how wonderfully cosmopolitan I am as I order in German! Then he'll want to smooch my raddled middle aged cheek..." As if.
I found something that sounded yummy-some kind of salad with slices of black angus beef, Parmesean cheese and capers. There was only one word I didn't know, but I figured that was ok; besides it was in Italian. All Italian food is good so how could I go wrong?
That word was Carapaccio. My salad arrived, I took one look and wailed, "It's raaaaaaaaaaaw!" God bless him, the waiter offered to comp me with something else but I swallowed my pride and ate the veggies and cheese. That part was very good, but I just couldn't do raw meat and so waved bye bye to 12 euros. Fucksocks. That'll teach me.
To top it off, everyone else's food looked and smelled heavenly.
