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]

Camping Curry!When I was 17 (1971) I went, with my regular canoe surfing mates, to Widemouth Bay in Cornwall. About 20 of us altogether. We all stayed at Widemouth Bay Caravan Park. One guy we had invited (he was older than us, had a car and we needed the transport) brought his girlfriend, who he was obviously out to impress (screw).
One afternoon we (except him and gf) went surfing. I can guess his motive for staying behind!
"I'll cook a curry for tonight." he said. "OK." We said.
We got back to see a pot of meat and stuff sizzling away.
"I'll put the curry powder in now." He said. (Remember this is a time way before curry was our national dish).
One spoon went in. "Hmmmm," he said, "doesn't seem much?"
So in went the rest of the tin!
Me? I twigged that it was going to be painful on the bog the next day. The rest didn't.
How I laughed.
