What's the worst food you have ever eaten that was cooked by someone else?

[QueenOfMyWorld]

Under cooked bacon wrapped around philidelphia cheese. It was a starter that a friend did,I vomited that night,might have been unrelated but doubt it.Urgh can still taste it years later

Can you stuff a tomato? Or maybe it was a pepper...anyway a stuffed vegetable at my parents friends house, and it was horrible (I have nothing against stuff veg usually). I was about 8 and politely ate it all politely, when we got back in the car I think DM told me she was proud of me

DHs bologenese was terrible until I taught him. Think mainly meat, plain passata, no onion no veg no spices.

shabu shabu - I hate autocorrect sometimes!

My MIL who liked to boil everything to death once made me a baked potato.
It was simultaneously raw and overcooked at the same time. When you cut into it a lumpy liquid poured out.
She served it with tuna which she has pummelled into a liquid.

DH always wanted me to ask her cooking tips

My MIL made a stir fry once.
She fried some chicken and broccoli (no seasoning or flavourings added), boiled some plain rice noodles (for a very long time) and served it up. Even my DH who can eat anything couldn't do more than a mouthful.

The first time I went to an ex partners mothers for dinner she cooked pork chops in batter

Stuffed intestine (a Libyan delicacy apparently)

Spaghetti with walnuts cooked by my veggie friend. She is normally a pretty good cook but that was awful!

My father makes a 'minced meat soup'. He boils the mince for hours then throws whatever veg he can find in the freezer in with loads of water. It's terrible but he loves it!

The pork chops in batter sounds nice
My worst meal was mistaking whole cloves for ground cloves in a stew, it tasted like perfume

Anyone else only here to check that their food isnt on here?
The worst I served was slow cooked beef stew and the beef was as tough as old leather.
I also once made a horrifically hot Thai green veggie curry. It was inedible.

My mother does this thing, fires up the barbie, cooks a fucktonne of meat on it for a loooong time, then freezes it. She then re-heats the already dried up leathery goodness all day in a frying pan to complete the tanning process.

Another beloved recipe of hers - curry. Boiled meat with curry powder, served with a 70s-tastic array of accompaniments such as peanuts, raisins, dessicated coconut, apple slices and crisps. Sometimes tinned pineapple chunks to mix things up a bit.

We are now NC.

Whispers I thought so too

Raw kidney beans are really dangerous. A friend ended up in ITU after accidentally eating one. She nearly died.

A friend once made a "Poncy Pizza"
He made the dough and put all fresh stuff on it, peppers and mushrooms and sweet corn as I recall..
Then covered it in a thick layer of goats cheese... Sweet zombie Jebus it was vile but I had to pretend it wasn't..

My ex, usually a good cook, did skate in brown butter with capers.

It was unspeakable

Not cooked (or particularly awful just monotonous!!) my mil, when I first met her had absolutely not a bloody clue how to make vegetarian food.

Safe to say while everyone ate their delicious home cooked dinners I ate cheddar cheese hummus, pita bread and cucumber sticks. For a year! Bless her I love her to bits and she cooks nice things now!

A curry with cooked banana. It was at a university cafeteria and tasted wrong.

Well most of my school dinners were vile - lumpy grey mashed potato, lumpy custard.

My MIL though was a terrible cook. Almost everything she made was pretty awful. The worst though was a roast dinner. All the veg was so overcooked it was just a big mush on the plate, the roast potatoes were greasy and soggy, the Yorkshire pudding was as flat as a pancake. I have no idea what the meat even was (DH didn't know either).

We were driving back home when I shouted at DH to stop as I was going to throw up. That made me think it may have been pork as I am allergic to it and it makes me vomit. She knew that though

Curry with banana is delicious. A local curry house does this (Kashmiri curry) and I also make it at home. When I ate meat it was chicken with banana, now it is veg with banana

The first thing my boyfriend at uni cooked for me. It was homemade pizza - he was trying so hard to impress, he put far too much of everything on it (especially the salami and cheese) so while it tasted good it was far, far too rich, I threw up for the first time since I was a small child.

Reader, I married him - things could only get better.

outing but hey ho

roast turkey that was still cold in the middle

meatloaf from mince that glistened green

My mothers rice pudding. Crunchy!

My Mum made a roast dinner once for my Dad’s side of the family. There were reasons behind the stress, but she was stressed and had decided to a) get up at 5am b) cook lunch straight away c) complain that none of us had helped her when we woke up at about 8 (it was Boxing Day) and then d) serve it at 9am under one of those ‘keep warm’ lamps she’d borrowed from somewhere. So by the time we ate it was 3.5 hours past cooked (and would have been over cooked already at that point, because her default vegetable setting is grey mush).

Bless her, her roast dinners (every Sunday as That’s What You Do) are disappointing at best but this was something else.

Anything made by Nan. Boiled chicken was a particular favourite of hers.

Banana bread with all-bran. It had the taste and texture of a peat briquette. A friend's mother made it. I made the mistake of saying it was delicious and she made it every time I went round after that.
