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]

Uni cateringI lived in Halls where the food was mostly rank but thankfully served in tiny portions. Though the soup name changed daily, it all looked like regurgitated watered-down Tesco Value gruel.
Highlights included:
*Chilli and mint sausages. Not cooked properly and had the taste and consistency of Play Doh.
*Breaded fish brushed with *milk* to brown! (The assistant cook was in that day. Didn't realise you do that to plain fish, not coated).
*Chilli con carne, which if left long enough would congeal to a solid block of lard.
Lots of us chose to cook instead. Our Korean friends used to cook the most eye-wateringly smelly things with Spam and tomato sauce which alsways managed to smell like rotten veg. (It wasn't kimchi-I quite like that).
There was also a Swedish music student (guitarist) who ate Marmite with every meal for months to make his nails strong. He didn't even like it. They were a weird bunch.
