Terrible food
Back 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]

Guinea Pig
Did the Lonely Planet tour of Peru in 1998. This generally consisted of going to restaurants described in the book as "a local favourite", only to find when you get there, a handful of other tourists clutching the same guidebook and looking equally perplexed by the lack of aforementioned locals. Anyway, at this particular place the house "speciality" was Guinea Pig. Being the adventurous sort, I thought, "fuck it I'll give that a sporting go". Felt slightly less adventurous when the Guinea pig arrived at the table, whole, flattened and with the distinct odour of burnt hair. And it was a bugger to eat too. Gave up after a few bites. Never actually saw a "local" eat one either. Hmmm...
*Picture isn't the one I ate, but very similar
