Terrible food
Back 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]

China..again
I posted before, but theres too much to tell, I know its their culture, and to be honest I admire they still keep the traditions. What is sad is that more and more infact hundreds of KFC's and MacD's are popping up everywhere, literally two on every street!
I will never forget the time I went for a meal witha group of chinese workers, keen to show our politeness we let them order.... :S
to start, Jelly Fish...cold uncooked
Then we had Pork belly, which looked and moved like blamonge.... in soy souce....their local delacacy :S
We order duck (thinking the same as duck at home) what we actually got was close to a leather sack, with no meat at all....
plus we had duck head:

we tried our best, most of it really was unedible, as our teeth were hopeless against its chewyness........but low and behold fast forward 3 hrs, I was lying comotose on my couch with a proper westerner belly , with 3 empty big mac boxes to the side of me.
