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.

Fresh or Frozen?Went with future wife to Paris for a mucky weekend many moons ago (it was the night Robert Maxwell went overboard!) and went for a romantic meal in Montmartre.
Everywhere is packed apart from one place that just has 2 Japanese tourists in it. I should have guessed from this and moved on but hunger drove us in.
Get menus and some vino and decide to order the sardines. Waiter rocks up and i ask him if they are fresh or frozen? "oh no zir, zey are teaned!" (put on your best French accent), so I opt instead for the pate - can't go wrong with that in Paris.
When that arrives it still had the marks from the bottom of the can.
Bastard!
