What's the worse meal you have ever had?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Mine still haunts me, a series of worst meals. I spent some time living in a small island in the Indian ocean. The company's food budget was 1 euro a day. We could only buy rice and beans. Not bad in itself but this every day three times a day, no draining. Nothing.  it also had rat poo in where they'd break into the bags. Awful. Still can't eat rice and beans today. |

Not a restaurant but I was away on a course and they forgot to arrange for catering, so after a last minute panic they found some people to cook for 25 people for a weekend.
Cook is perhaps stretching the definition...
On the Saturday it was lasagne, veg and a jacket potato.
The Lasagne, was tough like leather. We could stick the fork in lift it up whole and then watch it bend the fork as it returned to the plate, snapping the plate as it does so.
The Jacket was a rock. So encrusted it formed a protective shell, you had to stab the fork in to get a purchase, then cut it with a knife meant you watched it heat up and bend as you tried in vain to cut into it.
We sent out for chips once the cooks went home... |

No seasoning I meant... stupid autocorrect |

Lodz, in Poland .. I was working at the studio & lunch consisted of a rubbery fried egg floating in what looked like greasy dishwater (it tasted like it too). Even the Polish crew refused to eat it so it obviously wasn't some local delicacy! |

I somehow ended up going for dinner with Chris Eubank as his then wife was my client. He was excruciatingly boring / self obsessed and encouraged by a gaggle of gurning sycophants that I had the misfortune to work with (half of whom were intermittently going to the bathroom to powder their nose).
The service was painfully slow to the point of almost walking out and the food all arrived at different times for different people with items stupidly late or just never turning up at all. And most of it turned up luke warm.
It was ‘Simply the Worst’… |

The restaurant was my own flat, while making a curry I made a massive miscalculation with a spice that ended up absolutely overpowering the whole thing. I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites before it was too much for me. |

The actual restaurant was lovely and we just ordered something else instead (which was delicious).
