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]

Come on down under... land of surreal foodsBecause we basically have no actual cuisine of our own, Australian chefs are constantly stealing ideas from Aborigines in a vain attempt to claim some kind of regional uniqueness.
As such it's quite common to have "bush tucker" on the menus of fancy restaurants, or at least selected ingredients.
They seem to have forgotten the Aborigines largely ate this stuff because there wasn't anything else.
The result is all sorts of bizarre shite with hugely inflated price tags.
Anyway, my personal favourites (and yes I've eaten them all):
Sugar ants on barramundi fillets.
Feral buffalo wrapped in bark and cooked in a dirt pit (no kidding).
Crocodile kebabs.
Grilled Bogong moths.
Goanna (a big lizard) fillets.
Marinated snake pieces.
Possum pie...
and the piece de resistance, Kangaroo and Emu grilled and served together.
Yes, that's right you can actually eat the two animals on our coat of arms.
Lets see the Brits serve up Lion and Unicorn!
