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]

Mushy Pea ToastiesHave been very impressed with some of the student stories of thrifty eatin', so here's mine: mushy pea toasties.
Take one tin of supermarkets own brand mushy peas, add small quantities of pepper and curry powder, slap between 2 slices of bread, stick in sandwich toaster for sufficient time.
LET IT COOL FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES! I have lost the lining of my cheeks/ roof of my mouth enough times to these superheated motherlovers.
It's actually not bad and tastes nothing like you would expect, though most people recoil in horror at the idea.
One time before I had a sandwich toaster I was reduced to subsisting on boiled cabbage and marmalade on crackers (no marg). Mmmm.
But easily worse than either of the above diets is polenta. Boiled. Tastes like horses shite (I imagine), only blander.
