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]

Girlfriends houseI once dated a fantastic girl; she was stunning, went to a convent (therefore great fun!!) happy to get naked whenever we had 5 minutes alone.
So I get invited around for a meal. I'm told to dress smartly, at least shirt and tie. Now this being a saturday night, I stop for a quick pint with the lads on the way. That turns into 5, and I roll up about 25 minutes late, half cut and starving. That kind of hungry where you feel sick with hunger.
There are a few things I can't eat. Lamb, sweetcorn and beetroot are the main ones, and I also hate the taste of aniseed. The menu was beetroot and sweetcorn salad, then roast lamb with Pastise (french aniseed drink).
I have a polite mouthfull, and thats enough. 15 minutes of moving salad around of a plate. Main course comes, again, I eat the potatoes. I get a gentle tap on the shoulder from Emma. "Why aren't you eating? The lamb is gorgeous!". She then has a piece of Lamb on her fork and tries to put it in my mouth. I move away, but then she tries again; kind of like Ainlsey Harriot does on Ready, Steady, Cook!
At this point, I get a horrible, stomach movement, I make what I think is a swift exit and proceed to produce salad, 5 pints of guiness and the reminents of the Big Mac I had for lunch into their downstairs loo. I missed.
I left.
She came to the pub later, and we actually ended up in the Koh-i-noor in Loughborough having a cracking curry, then went home for more fun. But alas, after that, I was never invited again. We lasted another 3 weeks.
