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]

Ah, school cafeteria'sThose rare occasions I did brave the hot meals at my elementary school invariably ended in culinary disasters.
The cleaning ladies who were put in charge of the school kitchen casually threw all the vacuum packed food into the steam oven, ignoring any temperature or time instructions.
I was served such dishes as:
-Bland soup that always contained some sort of "vegetable" with the taste and texture of horse hair.
-Meat cut from the tendoniest, most inedible part of the animal.
-small round "potatoes" that seemed to be hacked out of a proper potato with a melon ball spoon.
But their crowning achievement were what the menu advertised as "ham rolls with endive and cheese", normally a popular and tasty Belgian dish.
What they slapped on our plates, however, was a sort of gooey liquid cheese with shreds of ham and andive. It looked like it had already been eaten and regurgitated into a big vat.
Oh how the cafeteria rang with the retching sounds of dozens of children pretending to throw up in their plates...
length? seriously, I was ten years old!
