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]

OK, so it's a school dinner, but there you have it...I went to boarding school for a while. While enormously fun in some ways, this has one terrible effect. You have school dinners three times a day.
Anyway, one term, the lady in charge of organising cooking for us decided to do 'healthy' food. Now, most of the time, the food was pretty good. Sometimes it was wonderful! This is what she decided to, er, put a stop to.
So... we had a few weeks of food that was fairly poor. Then, she pulled out all the stops, flexed her culinary muscles to breaking point, and produced something or other. It was like trying to eat the mutant offspring of a carpet tile and a bicycle tyre. In tomato sauce. I managed one small piece before throwing my now blunted knife away in disgust. I didn't see anyone (of about 60 people) eat any either.
The following day, apparently only ten people showed up for lunch at all. It was the truly delicious lasagne, with treacle tart to follow. I wish I'd been there.
