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]

bad meatMy boyfriend loves cooking, so do I, its nice to create a dish yourself and revel in the tasty goodness. AS such we also are both very careful to source fresh ingredients and from the best sources, non factory farmed chickens, free range eggs, locally grown produce (not easy in Liverpool but sort of doable)
My Family are from Malvern and still live there, Malvern is a quaint little country town (remove the o from country and you will share my views on the town , no offence to Malvernians i just never liked it there) anyhoo i was visiting there and decided to get my fella a special treat from the local family owned, very reputable, butchers. I opted for a nice joint of Topside Beef, traditionally hung fro the right amount of time and seemingly a nice bit of meat, anyway, i am careful to refigerate the mseat and deliver it to him at home a day or so later. "Wow says he what a loverly bit of beef, lets invite all our mates round for a roast. I'll get some bines and majke a lovley stock and well have a mega mael with all the trimmings" " great idea says i" and we do.
All was going well until the meat was nearly cooked, we selled a vinegary old shoe smell eminating from the oven, on insepcion of the meat we saw that it was rottem from the inside out, the hok that had hung the meat must have been infected with bad things and had rendered our delicous treat inedible, with about 7 hungry mates slavering in the next room.
WE ended up serving lovely veg and yorkshire puds, with the delectable beef bone gravy, whch was great, but not over filing, if the meat had been good it would have been the roast to end all roasts. But it wasnt.
I have learned no lessons from this and will still buy meat from said butchers but as bad food experiences go that was the worst ive had in a long time. Doesnt beat the time i accidentally ate a ladybird when it landed on my zoom looly whe i was 6 though, ladybirds taste like shit!
length..........blah de blah
