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.

An incredibly long winded reminiscence about a meal that never came but I cannot forgetIt was at the Fray Marcos Hotel at Williams, Arizona - the gateway to the Grand Canyon and located on Route 66 - the mother road. Earlier in the day I felt like throwing myself into the Grand Canyon. Onward to dinner time. I had been existing on Buffalo wings - zingy chicken wings, a 12 pack of Coors beer and some herbal ecstasy which I bought in a gay bookstore in San Francisco. The herbal ecstasy did absolutely nothing in the area it was supposed to but proved to be an excellent laxative which was good as I struggle in that area when away from home, not to mention a gruelling all points 8 week tour of the USA. So dinner at the Fray Marcos restaurant - a massive barn like sructure adorned with stuffed animal heads and road sign paraphernalia. I was not hungry but felt obliged to join the others at the table, would have preferred to stay in and mope with one of the putrid bottle of tequila I bought in Tijuana. So I ordered a meal of Turkey Chili accompanied with some buffalo wings and salad with ranch sauce accompanied with an icy cold coke. We stayed there for as long as it took the others to eat. The coke was lovely but my meal never came. My head was done in too much to ask about its whereabouts. I retired to my room and drank all of the tequila. Later that night I wet the bed.
