Worst Meal you ever had!

[dottiedodah]

Min was as a child in London, My Uncle brought some jellied eels for my Nan and Grandad. She put a couple on the plate for me.I recoiled in horror ,at the awful stringy taste of this vile "meal" I can still see them set in grey jelly! Just all kinds of grim!

My grandmother’s sausage pie. A base of pastry, covered in a thick layer of cheap sausage meat with a pastry lid. No seasoning, or even a bit of onion to give it a hint of flavour. It was so drenched in grease, the cooked pie floated in the dish.

She served up other nightmare meals, too, but the horror of sausage pie will remain with me till the end of my days. 🤢

My mum in law cooked me a baked potato and salad as she didn’t know what else was vegan.
It was like a rock with some bits of old weed that had been trodden on by a hundred people on top.

😂😂 this made me laugh out loud. Bless her. It sounds utterly revolting.

Try the JO chicken curry tray bake.

It's the only curry I have ever been able to make which has turned out edible. It's delicious.

A chicken caeser salad that consisted of a bowl of iceberg lettuce, with chunks of processed chicken (like one of the Bernard Matthews rolls) on top and no dressing. It was on an overnight train abroad and was included in the ticket, there was no alternative 🤮

New Years Eve in a French-speaking west African country. Foutu and agouti are local delicacies madame. Totally indigestible. To be fair, the food in restaurants was generally excellent. It was a wonderful visit to a fascinating place, apart from that dinner.

Two spring to mind.
tripa alla florentine in Florence was inedible.
Second a friend turned vegan tried to cook something for me which wasn’t processed and failed. It was a sort of stew, but was so lacking in any flavour, that we binned it and got a take-away!

I think it was a panic invention of 'what to feed the vegetarians as a sub for roast dinner'.

It was heavily encrusted in salt too

Yes that's it , rock salmon!! I recounted my ordeal to a friend who informed me what it was. I guess I had been a bit spoilt with northern fish n chips, they tend use filleted cod 😄
Something else I've just remembered . Who remembered findus French bread pizzas. I loved them. My new boyfriend came round and my mum.served up French bread pizza.New boyfriend took one bit and jumped up, ran outside and spat it out in the garden. I was absolutely mortified it was so embarrassing!! 🤣🤣

An exes mum made a shepards pie and I had to pretend to like it...
It was lamb mince overcooked with onion, frozen mixed veg, baked beans and marmite with thick bland mash topping

Tinned spaghetti in tomato sauce with some pre- grated packet parmesan on top: on menu as spaghetti milanaise.

Vegetarian 'curry' made with all tinned vegetables inc minted potatoes no spice in it and undercooked rice.

Tripe served to me as a very young child by my grandparents, it was disgusting. And my dm wouldn’t eat it either.

I’ve lost my appetite now.

Another one with faggots - only mine were as a student lodger in a family home. (I used to have to wait for the using to use the bath his mum had run for him before I could use the bathroom).
The faggots were still frozen in the middle.
I didn't hang around long after that.

Not really that grim, but just .... Odd.

We were on a driving holiday in the States. One of the B&Bs we stayed in prided itself on its most amazing breakfasts.

We asked for bacon and scrambled egg... All good. Except it came with a side order of warmed apple pie and canned, sweetened whipped cream on the same plate.

Apple pie and scrambled egg. Yum.

We looked around the room and others seemed to have the same combo and not batting an eyelid.

Those Brits and their straightlaced breakfasting ways. Pfft.

As a first-time visitor to Ukraine before the war in a (very odd) hotel with DD1 aged 17 (and I am well travelled, so is she to be fair). Same conversation every morning. "Well, what do we recognise as breakfast goods", ending in "Well what do we recognise full stop" "That might be apple juice". Nope, definitely not.

Rock is delicious!

Ex MIL made ratatouille in a massive pot. Fine. But she reheated over 5 days. Imagine after it’s 5th reheat!

When I was heavily pregnant I struggled with cooking. One day I made plaice with cheese sauce, mashed potatoes and cauliflower. It was all white and it made DH cry!

I admire your commitment to finding the poo sausage edible but failing. Excellent effort.

My sister and I used to get sent to stay with one of my mum’s friends for a fortnight in the summer. She used to make liver paste sandwiches (despite mum saying we wouldn’t eat liver). We ate them, to be polite, so she decided mum was wrong, and made us liver casserole. I have never tasted anything worse. I ate what I was given, by holding my breath, because I didn’t want her to tell mum I had been rude and turned my nose up at the food she’d made.

Another one who accidentally ordered steak tartare...puked it up later.

Accidentally ordered octopus when abroad... complete with suckers attached 🤢

The worse was school dinners though, liver and lumpy packet mash 🤮

I did the look up function on Foutu and agouti and it showed me pictures of giant rats. Tell me I'm wrong 😂

I've had all the offal meals Har Har
No but literally, except as a child that was normal.

Since then my favourites awful meals are

A pesto spinach pizza where.... They blended them and gave me a dough with a green slop on top! Yum, not! No cheese even

A spinach crepe which I could hear the microwave cooking 😫
