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.

French FoodNot particularly on topic, once, on a biker trip to France (Le Mans 24hr bike race) we were camping out round the course and one of my friends had bought some rather good looking sausages from the local supermarket. We carefully barbecued them until they were cooked to a nice sausagey golden brown, no carbonisation at all. Now I should mention that these sausages are called "Andouillette" and unbeknownst to me are made of all the worst animal parts such as intestines, ears and arseholes. I took one huge bite thinking I was about to taste the french equivalent of a cumberland or lincolnshire variety, instead I got a mouth full of rubbery gack which was instantly spat out. These truly are the most heinously vile items of foodage I have ever experienced. Then again what would you expect from a nation that considers eating garden pests and amphibian limbs a delicacy.
French fucknuggets.
