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.

Foreign HorrorsI travel a lot for work to developing countries so I have many many bad food / losing three stone in two days-type stories. Here are the highlights:
1. Eating a whole leg of something (including foot and cack still lodged between it's toes) in a souk in Egypt whilst being felt up by a leper's stump. I gave him the leg in the end to make him go away
2. Being served up floppy white shit in Thailand
3. Ordering a soup in Malaysia and being given a bowl of warm, slightly tasty water with whole chilli peppers floating in it
4. Eating some stringy meat in Palestine and later being told "yes, it was that raw camel hanging up in the street that we saw earlier"
5. Being a guest of honour at a banquet on the cambodian border and being eyeballed at 10feet away by 200 children who came to see the "strange coloured person" (I'm blonde and they'd never seen a european?!)
6. Eating ONLY bloody white boiled rice and beans in Cuba for 10 days. That was fun when you tried to do a Richard the III.
I have no choice, the natives make me do it!!! Still - got some good stories for the young 'uns.
I don't think the chinese were impressed though when they mentioned "101 Dalmations" and I asked them if that was the menu. muhahahahah.
