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.

Poo SausageTravelling through France a couple of years ago, we stayed the night in a small-ish, non-touristy town. We went to a local bar which served food. Speaking some French, I saw "andouillette" on the menu, which I knew to be a kind of sausage.
The waitress did look bemused, and asked if I was sure because "most people only take one bite and leave the rest". Not wanting to look like I didn't know what I was doing, I just confirmed the order.
My sausage arrived. About two inches thick and twelve inches long, very dark brown. Basically, it looked like a poo sausage.
I cut it open. It smelled like a poo sausage - with small pieces of slimy-looking, suspicious "meat" oozing out. Seriously, it smelt and looked like someone had taken a dump on a plate and given it to me.
I managed to eat half of it - well, there was no way I was going to send it back. But I have my limits...
Andouillette is a French delicacy.
