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]

hidden surprisei have a friend who supposedly takes pride in keeping a clean house.
she invited me round once for a cuppa and, since i was thirsty and only 5 minutes away, i agreed.
i sat amid the stench of fetid nappies and elderly, forgotten meals, and waited for my cuppa.
when it arrived, it was in a "white" mug with a huge chip out of the rim. not wanting to offend, i found a seemingly untainted area of cup-rim and took a sip.
it tasted vile, but i know she buys the cheapest tea-bags she can(her husband says he likes them), so i put the taste down to that.
we chatted away and drank our tea. i was more than halfway through when i glanced into the cup. something white was peeking at me through the tea. i waited till she went into the kitchen, then tipped some of the tea into a plant pot, so i could clearly see the offending item.
it was egg. not just a bit, a huge chunk.
i poured the rest of the tea into the plant-pot and took a closer look.
there was at least half an egg in there, mashed with butter, clinging to the sides and bottom of the cup that she obviously hadn't washed since eating her breakfast out of it.
i told her i'd got a text and had to leave immediately, then ran out of the door. as soon as i got round the corner, i threw up until my eyes watered.
needless to say, i've never eaten or drunk anything in her house since.
