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.

"Viril"An all-dayer started badly in Guadalajara, Mexico. I'm pretty well accustomed to Mexican food but I wasn't prepared for the plate of viril that came free with my first tequila and sol in the cantina. I asked my mate what exactly viril was and he calmly stated "It's marinated sliced bull's penis". Yeah, right, as if they'd serve that at 9am to foreign tourists. I tried a slice and it tasted of lime and chile, like most Mexican bar snacks and while chewing I asked what it really was as the full enormity of the situation started to dawn on me. He calmly repeated what it was and I spat it out, but this time it seemed all too believable, especially. It's impossible to tell if the 24hr puking marathon was caused by the barely cooked bull's knob or the litres of tequila imbibed, but I can't say I'd recommend the dish.
