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.

While waiting for the bus to the airportI once ordered a "shrimp saganaki" in a small village outside of Rethymnon, Greece.
Now, saganaki is fried sort-of-feta cheese, and usually quite delicious. A shrimp saganaki I thought would be fried cheese with shrimps in/on it.
How wrong I was.
When my coveted food finally arrived I was confronted with a tin bowl full of hot oil. In the oil swam a couple of overcooked shrimps, and a lump of what probably once was cheese.
I ate about one fifth of it before my stomach started to cramp.
Luckily for me, there was better food to be had at the airport. Which says a lot about the aforementioned meal.
