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.

You've been SLIMEDBeing both omnivorous and a great lover of variety, I have a tendency to order randomly off menus, especially when they're in a foreign language to start with. This backfired on me most spectacularly one Saturday afternoon at Yaohan Plaza in Colindale when I ordered from a Thai stand at the food court what appeared to be chicken in phlegm.
It looked completely disgusting, I swear the same sauce was used by the special effects guys as ectoplasm when filming Ghostbusters. Viscous and transparent is NOT a great combination.
I tried eating it, on the grounds it couldn't possibly taste as bad as it looked, but I was so distracted by the way it looked that even with my eyes closed I felt I was eating something a giant had sneezed onto my plate. I had to give up, and have been much more cautious ordering thai food ever since.
