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]

Finger lickin' goodThe local staff at my school like winding-up the foreigners about the wacky stuff they eat over here in China.
They usually order a mystery dish, don't/can't translate, then laugh at our faces when we eat it.
I ate something that was ... chewy.
And not in a good way.
When I asked what it was, my Chinese friend said, "Chicken!"
What part?
She started waving her hand above her head ...
... it was the bloody chicken's feathery-comb-head-thing.
And there was a whole plate of the buggers!
Another time, they ordered us dog meat, and let us all have a bit of the "mystery meat that tastes like roast beef" before telling us ...
A couple of them are trying to persuade me to eat eyeballs. Any animal will do, as long as I eat lots of them - apparently, it's good for your eyesight.
Oh yeah, and on my 3rd day here,
I'm chewing away on what I think is tofu ... until I'm told it's "some part of stomach".
Never found out which part.
Looked like tofu, though.
