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]

More on gherkins
On holiday once in Canada, in a place called Parry Sound, Ontario. We were recommended a particular restaurant called Drew's, so off we went. It specialised in Italian so we ordered pizzas, pasta, whatever. While waiting for our meals to come, the waiter came over with a jar of gherkins, a chopping board and a sharp knife.
With a happy flourish, he announced that these were our complimentary gherkins, on the house.
We laughed. But I felt I had to eat one to be polite. Two slices in, I gave up. Complimentary they may have been, complementary they were not. Pasta and gherkins? FFS! Come on Drew, you can do better than that.
