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.

The Authentic Egyptian Taste - NotA couple of years back I was pleased to discover that kebab shops had spread to New Zealand. Having moved over from London a few years prior, my system had been missing the extra large, no salad, extra chilli, blood sphinctering experience that a decent doner provides.
Thus, having spotted "Pharoah's Kebabs" in a town near me, and noticing further that it specialised in doner kebabs, I was as happy as a canine with a dual phallus. I did't quite understand the relevance of Egypt, assuming that kebabs were a greek / turkish dish, but nonetheless proceeded to order a super large doner, served a la ring damage.
All went well until I began experiencing intestinal pains and a very upset stomach for several days after. Having passed a viscious amount of diahorea and several internal organs, I went to the Doctor. After numerous tests, I was found to be suffering from liver flukes. LIVER FLUKES !! These are a parasitic infection of cattle beast (and obviously immune to chilli sauce).
Thanks Pharoahs, for several weeks I had to use anti-fluke suppositories the size of bars of soap.
The taste of Egypt...truly a curse with every doner.
