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

Scrambled I'm scared to ask...

Almost everything DH cooks.

scrambled - what was it?!

My lovely friend made my sister and I really thick cheap grilled chicken breast topped with mango and red pepper. That was it. With partly baked potatoes. We were going for a night out and it was her idea of a kind tour stimach meal. While she was in the kitchen retrieving hers my sister speared her chicken with a fork. Pink chicken shot across the room and landed under the sofa. It stayed there. My friend are all her insisting it was fine than vegan projectile vomiting an hour or do later on a train. 🤢

SneakyGremlins I'm not sure because the waiting staff really didn't want to talk to us, but we thought it was jellyfish tentacles. They may have been boiled or steamed. It took all my willpower not to gag or spit it out instantly.

'Cheesecake' made by colleague that had actual grated cheddar sprinkled over a sponge cake. Main course was lasagne with spaghetti in it and ketchup made up about 50% of the sauce. Had to keep a straight face throughout!!

I’m reminded in a nostalgic way of my grandmother cooking something we affectionately called spaghetti slop.

She cooked dried spaghetti in cheese sauce for about an hour. I imagine it was aspiring to be carbonara.

For her age and generation it was adventurous but it was also disgusting!

A truly vile broccoli tart which tasted like asparagus, with undercooked new potatoes. Grim.

My mum used to do a chop toad (chop in batter) when my parents were first married and had no money... they speak of it fondly!

Probably the pot of pasta one of my friends cooked over a small camping stove. We were ravenous and it would have been really nice to have a hot meal after a long day hiking.

Turns out some of the white spirit had leaked out into the pot. White spirit is laced with a chemical specifically chosen because it tastes vile. So vile that you can still taste it half a day later.

Worst. Meal. Ever.

Sorry you had a bad experience but the bacon comes in pre-cooked so no way was it raw.

I went to a friend's house after school for tea, we had sausages and salad with gravy over it all. It was awful, it had tinned salmon and sweetcorn in the salad which isn't nice with gravy.

Kidneys made by a friend.
Chicken feet at Chinese New year was gag worthy

A work friend and I were on the train home when we met a guy who worked in another department at work. He was relatively new and was from (I think) Hungary. He invited us back for dinner and told us he would cook something traditional. We were quite excited to taste this new cuisine. He then proceeded to serve up: spaghetti mixed with Heinz tomato ketchup, with a side dish of a little Tupperware box containing cubes of the family pig, slaughtered in Hungary and posted to Britain. Yuk.

My sister's anaemic chips.

Some buns that my sister kindly gave to us. They'd been left in the fridge near an onion that'd been peeled & halved but not covered. I happily bit into the delicious looking chocolate bun, without knowing where it'd been kept, and tasted nothing but onion. Yuk.

Celeriac quiche.

It was absolutely fucking disgusting.

My high school boyfriend tried to impress me with Pad Thai made using a ketchup base. Absolutely vile.

I went to a dinner party about 15 years ago.

Starter was prawn avocado. Lovely. It had crunchy grey lumps in it. Walked through the kitchen to go to the loo and saw the cat litter tray, on the side, next to the food prep area

My mam makes soup only it's horrible. Grey brown and so greasy it sticks to the roof of your mouth. She won't abide stock and uses gravy granules for it which is probably why.

She also boils beg to mush which is probably why I hate most veg.

Visited my mil one lunchtime unexpectedly so no obligation to eat anything.
Boiled in water pork belly slices so they looked like a lump of white gelatinous fat and jacket potatoes peeled and cut in half and then boiled and a quarter of white cabbage boiled until the leaves were see through. Glad I was just popping in ! ( Been married to her son for 20 years and yet to have a meal as there !)

Cold chicken with chips that raw inside, burnt outside and slicked with oil, and boiled cabbage. With tapioca pudding to follow.

Husband and I went for dinner at a very well to do gentleman’s house. He was fantastic company and the worst cook!
Main course was incredibly over cooked beef with plain pasta, some unidentifiable vegetables, broccoli cooked so long it was melting into the plate as we washed it down with 8 YEAR out of date ginger beer.

Shame as he’s a truly lovely man but cooking is obviously not his thing.

Mil is normally an exceptional cook, but once she made creamy cheese & leek pasta - but the cheese was off 🤢

It was all I could do not to vomit all over the table. I just pushed it around the plate and pretended not to be hungry.

Gone off cheddar unfortunately doesn't taste anything like blue cheese, it tastes like the smell of rancid damp clothes.

Omg my old
Boss used to make these awful healthy cakes which had no sugar in and were basically cardboard. We all had to tell her how nice they were. They were shit!

My grandma helpfully cooked me an omelette as I was off out to netball club at dinner time... it was only when my mum asked where the Yorkshire pudding batter she had mixed up was that we realised it was my “omelette”. It was awful but I thought she just wasn’t very good at making omelettes 😂
