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]

When I was about 9 or so.I got it into my head that I wanted to bake a cake for my mum - no real reason, just one of those passing fancies you get at a young age*.
Anyway, the cake came out great, with a little help from my aunt, and I was left to decorate it with icing.
So I rake around for the icing sugar, and eventually find it. I dump in what there is, and make up this cobalt-blue coloured icing, and try to spread it on the cake, but it only covers about a quarter of the top.
So what did my befuddled 9-year-old brain think would make a good substitute? Flour.
White, self raising, flour.
The cake looked bloody marvelous, and as a first time cooking something, I was expecting a lot of yums and nice things from the folks. Instead, I get a lot of retching and bad words.
I sulked off to my room, ate the entire cake to spite them, and declared it was 'lovely'.
*Still haven't grown out of this - Monday morning I plan on taking my shed apart and rebuilding it with my 15-year-old cousin who is almost a qualified carpenter!
