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]

Fucking food technology.I scraped an E grade in this, despite handing in no coursework and taking the piss out of the exam.
And being utterly unable to cook.
I can't remember what the fuck I was making when I asked the hassled cookery assistant for brown sugar from the cupboard. She handed me a packet quickly and I took it without thinking. I was sprinkling it over my pastry or whatever when I noticed the faint smell of curry from somewhere. Never mind.
It was the odd lumps in my 'sugar' that made me realise where the smell was coming from.
The daft bint had given me curry powder instead of brown sugar.
Not to mention the time I was making chocolate scones (a bad idea in itself), was cleaning up after putting them in the oven, and on picking up my tray to wash it, found a mysterious bag of white powder on it.
I'd forgotten to put the fucking sugar in.
Instead of soldiering on and passing it off as a bad mistake, I made the ridiculous decision to mix it into a sugar solution and sprinkle it over the scones in the oven.
The result?
Glazed bitter chocolate scones. Nobody ate more than half of one.
