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.

Portugal's national dishMrs C and I ventured to the fabled land of Portugal on holiday once, where we feasted upon that nation's national dish in one of their finest restaurants.
You may not have heard of bacalhau. It is dried, salted cod that is then rehydrated before serving.
You may not have heard of it because it smells like 20 unwashed old ladies' undergarments, left to simmer in fish guts for three hot summer weeks. And it tastes much worse than it smells.
