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]

As some of you may know, until recently I was in the Austrian army doing military service...The food generally wasn't the worst in the world, usually simply "warm and filling" with no particular taste at all. But there was this one dish that came by once in a while which haunts me and all the other conscripts to this day:
essentially, it is made up of ground up kidneys and potatos. This gives a mixture deceptively similar to potatos with BACON, however of course this is wrong. It's kidney. It's disgusting, it's awful, it makes you want to retch as soon as it touches your lips or tongue, the consistency of the kidney is indescribable, simply the worst feeling EVER. The first time they served it to us during basic training everyone took it thinking it would be something nice, after that no one dared touch it if they could help it. Thing is, often we couldn't, as it would be the only thing still on offer if we came to lunch later than the others. The solution?
Salt. Lots and lots of salt.
Ugh. It's like putting lots and lots of salt on shit to make it somehow acceptable to eat. WRONGWRONGWRONGWRONG!
I also went to boarding school.
