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]

I've got a strong stomach me......I have always said dont knock it until you have tried it.
In that spirit of enquiry I once tried fermented bean sprouts at a japanese restaurant in Cardiff (generally good place) it was like eating the stuff you get when you leave a bag of salad in the fridge slimy and vile but with no actual flavour.
That isnt the worst thing I ever ate though.....
My baby brother got married, which is a perfectly normal thing to do. The thing is he got married at a truck stop, or at least that was where the reception was.
Mr mouse his mother and I travelled up the day before and stayed in the "hotel" attached to the service station that night. breakfast was in the canteen so I picked coffee and bacon and eggs. Mr Mouse (the fussy type with a weak stomach) got orange juice and cornflakes (mum in law slept in).
The morning conversation went something like this:
MM. Does this orange taste funny (spits out sip into napkin)
FM. Let me try (sips orange and swallows (its only polite)) Yes it tastes sort of fizzy thats odd, you had better not drink it not with your tummy.
later at registry office
FM. Hot in here isnt it
MM. Not especially
Later at truck stop while waiting for the party to start
FM. I think I need some air.
This was then followed by me re-enacting scenes from the exorcist with allied expulsions all night.
Him calling the doctor and going between our room to check on me and his mums room to check on her (dont expect her to talk to anyone un-aided).
The doctor said I had food poisoning (give the man a prize) and said I should rest and take fluids but we had to get his mum to Birmingham in the morning to catch her connection so she could be met at the other end by MM's cousin who would give her a lift home.
Cue me barely able to stand on a crowded hot train (I normally get motion sick when I'm not ill) I survived.... somehow.
At Birmingham we stuck her on a train and booked into a hotel just outside the station.
Phoned work to let them know I wouldnt be in the following day and passed out for 18 hours or so.
The Moral........
Dont go to weddings at truck stops.
I would appologise for length but he never does.
