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]

Chinain line with Celerydemon's post below ... food in China is a bit of a mystery, especially when eating with the Chinese. The school I worked in for 2 months served lunch every day, which was fine if you stuck to what you knew. The problem was, my friend and I (both Brits) didnt really know much about what we were eating. After a week, neither of us *wanted* to know. We got a block of rice as standard, and then chose assorted bits and bobs. If it was deepfried (to kill it) or looked like veg, we'd have it. My friend tried the fish once, but apparently once was enough. One look at the water in the canals round the village should have been enough to forewarn him, really. We went to eat with the teachers once, and ended up sampling the delights of pig stomach (I would have been happy in the belief I had just consumed some rubbery burnt chicken to be honest). And I willingly tried some turtle. Blech.
Still, at least the school never gave us a whole fried frog (intact), which happened to an American acquaintance of ours. Small mercies, eh? (And to think I'm looking forward to going back!)
