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]

Rubber with a humpI went to a naval boarding school...I experienced enough minging food there to last a lifetime. I also have the requisite relatives who can't cook, the most outstanding memory of which was when one of my grans served me curry with sliced banana on.
Anyway. My parents lived in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years, and whilst there we ate loads of really good food. But at the supermarket where we shopped, there were entire sections of the freezer section that we just did not go near, mostly containing brains.
Then my mum got brave and decided to make camel kebabs. Young camel is quite nice and tender. My mum got a rather more mature camel. The result was the toughest meat EVER. Like, not just a little bit tough, you'd go to bite down to chew and it would spring back to its original shape. Blechy.
But the worst-tasting thing ever was when I accidentally put way too much vinegar on my chips and was too stubborn not to eat them. My mouth looked like a cat's arse for about an hour afterward.
