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.

Sea urchin eggsWent to a very nice Sushi restaurant in Japan, together with a few colleagues. Everything served looked really lovely, tasted phantastic. Until we stumbled over a dish which - with 2 Japanese guys accompanying us - we roughly translated to be eggs from sea urchin. One of my colleagues was very interested but a little concerned what it would taste like. So one of the others poked the chopsticks into the stuff and tried a small amount. He then said "tastes fine", and went on to eat something else. Since that sounded convincing Mr. Anxious took a really big bite, and a split second later his face turns all green. He then proceeded to the little boys room for a rather relieving vomit. After he came back, he described it as the worst experience in his whole life. He asked why the other guy hadn't warned him, to which he replied "I thought it would be a laugh". It was.
