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]

Yellow and pinkI had the gross misfortune to work in Bulgaria for a while. Whilst I am the last person to insult a great nation, I found them to be complete strangers to the truth, work ethic or basic human decency. However,their food in general was superb, as was the (incredibly cheap)wine, which makes the following all the more galling.
I was escorting a party from a VERY big european car manufacturer round some potential manufacturing suppliers when I was taken a bit peckish. We adjourned to a roadside cafe whereupon I ordered a cheese and ham sandwich. Now, as a red-blooded Englishman, I expect my cheese to have flavour, my ham to be a slice from a pig and my sandwich to have two pieces of bread. The Bulgarian idea of a ham and cheese sandwich was apparently to put one slice of bread, a slice of a pink pork residue sausage thing and a three inch thick slice of yellow (?) under a grill until runny.What was served was an oozing pus-like yellow mess on a grease-swimming plate. Not wishing to appear churlish, I attempted to cut the pus monster. That's when it spat a lump of lukewarm grease straight into my open mouth.
I vomited immediately and spectacularly over the (immaculately dressed) chief buyer for the aforementioned car company. They still used us as a supplier after that.
Which was nice.
