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]

Napalm curryMany, many years ago (my thirty three and a third birthday party if I remember correctly) I cooked a curry using a jar of curry paste from the (asian) corner shop. The label was all in urdu so I used what seemed like a sensible quantity.
I had a great time watching people trying to eat this - it tasted great, so people persevered, but it was hotter than hades!
The most macho of the men kept coming back and having another go, only to abandon it yet again.
Nothing went to waste, though. My then BF and I finished it off the next day.
The other year in Turkey a waiter noticed me eating all the chillis and thought he would have some fun. He brought me out some different chillis. I took this as a challenge and ate the lot, smiling throughout. God, that hurt, but I think I became something of a legend!
