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.

We cook steaks differentlyWent out for dinner at a place called Le Quecumbar in Battersea (Quecumtoilet more like). Ordered the 10oz steak, medium rare. It was medium rare, but it looked like it had been cooked in a saucepan with water, not a griddle or even a frying pan. Ate two bites and complained...owner comes out, talks to me for a bit about how her chef likes to cook steaks then asks where my accent is from. NZ I say, which she replies, "Oh - so you obviously cook steaks differently there, this is the way we do them..." I have been living in the UK for 8 years....got free whiskey and a threesome later on which was unrelated...
