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.

what IS the deal with airline food?Last summer, I went to visit some friends in San Francisco (I live in New Jersey.) I took an early flight- it left at about 7AM, meaning I had been up since about 4:30 getting ready and getting to the airport. Once we were all settled in the plane, I started to get hungry. At 8:30AM, they came around with our breakfast. I had ordered the vegan meal, as there was no 'vegetarian' option. Everyone around me was tucking in to their egg sandwiches (which I very well would have eaten.) I receive a tray with a tinfoil parcel, accompanied by a small bagel with margarine and jam. The parcel had a familiar smell...
Curry.
They gave me a curry for breakfast- potatoes, peas, soggy pappadums, the lot. With a bagel and jam, and coffee. Now, I love curry as much as the next girl, but honestly, not at 8:30AM when I hadn't even been drinking the night before.
