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.

vegan options.The Celtic Club in Melbourne is mainly a pub but also does traditional Irish food, which is perhaps not best known for its many vegan options.
Our work had its annual dinner there, and me being vegan requested a vegan meal, with a certain feeling of dread.
But they did a really nice plate of mixed vegetable stuff - much nicer than what everyone else got actually.
And fair play to them, it's not like the cooks at an Irish restaurant should be expected to be able to whip up a vegan meal at short notice.
So, why is it then that pretentious, trendy inner-city type eateries, who *should* be expected to deal with such requests, routinely act like they've been asked for an umbrella stew with a side order of fibreglass, and try not to make the dwarf holding it too butch?
