Terrible foodBack when I was a student, we had a "clear out the fridge" party. Everyone brought what they had left and the idea was to make a big meal out of it.
The stew/casserole/whatever was going surprisingly well until someone added the tin of mackerel in tomato sauce they'd been hoarding all year.
What's the worst thing you've ever cooked or eaten? Who's the worst cook you've encountered?
[and yes, we've asked this before, but way, way back before we had the fancy QOTW pages]

Gruesome Cultural FoodWhen I lived in Korea I was subjected to some very odd food. Some of it was really nice, and I regularly go to Korean restaurants here in the UK. Some of it was horrid! Probably the worst thing I ate was spicy chicken feet. The yielding gristle-like texture as you bit down into it, the little claw that you didn't see before you put it into your mouth, scraping slightly on your tongue. Bleugh!
I also tried to eat a live baby octopus but it defeated me. They chuck a live octopus into a big bowl in the middle of the table which has a gas fire underneath and boiling water inside. Cue much flailing around on the part of the baby octopus. The waitress then leans in with what could be called scissors but frankly they more like secateurs, and snips the legs off. Then everyone piles in with their chop sticks but when i tried the little leg actually tries to climb up my chopsticks and into my nose. I made my excuses.
Actually its not terrible food, and its not gruesome, its just me being a pansy and refusing to adopt culturally. Or something.
Apologies for length but it was more than a nostril full.
