Chilli non Carne
My brother invited me and my then Mrs over for a meal at his girlfriend's place.

His girlfriend was not exactly vegetarian, but didn't eat much meat and so he cooked a chilli without meat. The chilli was simply masses of onions, beans, water and tomato paste with a bit of chilli powder. No salt at all mean that the tomato paste was sticky, cloying and supremely bland even when in a chilli sauce.

We were hungry and ate some of the chilli and rice, but it was so horrible we couldn't stomach much.

All the onions and beans started work immediately and we were farting before we reached the bus stop! We slept very badly as we kept waking each other up with deafening trumps!
