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]

To add a few delightsNow, where to start?
Firstly, the lovely Polish Christmas special cuisine I had a few years ago. Carp in a jelly type substance! Now I know why people keep carp in a pond, it's because it tastes foul! Flaky, vile bone filled crap!
In Israel a few years ago I went round to a Thai friends house and was presented with raw pigs ear, sounds disgusting, but as I hadn't eaten any prepared food in about 3 months and the chilli dip was amazing, it wasn't that bad, but I'm not in a hurry to do it again.
However the worst for me is tinned salmon! As a kid at school my Mum would make me tuna sandwiches, which I quite like, however one day I guess she was feeling rich and decided to buy tinned salmon. I open my lunch box, take out my sandwich and I presume it was tuna, until I bite into it, and notice that it's a little "crunchy", confused I open the sandwich and I'm presented with what looks like the spinal column of a salmon sprinkled in my sandwich, I instantly spat out what was in my mouth and threw my sandwiches in the nearest bush. To this day I have never even looked at a tin of tinned salmon without feeling sick!
Oh, and don't get me started on celery!
