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]

Way back when
I've got a couple of instances when terrible food has had me as it's victim. The first I can't recall myself, but have been told many-a-time by my parents:
As a child (3/4 years old), I lived in Portugal where food was generally good, but instead of munching on *conventional foods*, I used to pick centipedes and cockroaches off the floor, and eat them in front of my parents [just to spite them, of course ;)]
Another time was on my 17th birthday when I was taken to a Portuguese restaurant in the depths of Somerset - it was a pretty nice place, very authentic - Pogs smoking and drinking coffee whilst shouting at the TV - so we all sat down for a 'nice meal'... The waitress came and reccommended the 'Special of the Day' (in Portuguese) and my dear mother told me that it was a good one - so I ordered it. Anyways, turns out I had ordered haricot beans with tripe in gelatin - *genuine barf alert*. Not the best birthday dinner ever, but my old man had ordered mixed grill kebabs, so I ate them instead... :)
