Most disappointing food you’ve had (Stanley I’m looking at you).

Stanley Tuccis sandwich.

if looked so delicious on Instagram.

In actuality it was horrible. Prosciutto is like raw bacon. Mozzarella didn’t melt. Olive oil is tasteless grease. I like pesto with spaghetti but not, as it turns out, in a sandwich.

i was so looking forward to it. Went shopping on the way home specially 😕

What food have you had that did t live up to expectation?

I don’t paint actually. Unless you meant “palate” in which case it sounds like you have an unrefined vocabulary.

Well said Op.

👏👏👏

Tesco finest sourdough
is not sourdough. It has a sourdough starter, but otherwise it's just typical highly processed white-sliced, with all the usual chemical additives.
Philippo Berio extra virgin
That well known Chinese-owned producer of 'Italian' oil, that doesn't come from Italy. It's just processed there.
Mixed Cured Salty Various Deli Type Slices Of Pig again from Tesco.
Hmm, I suspect even you question the provenance of that.
normal tesco Mozzarella
Apparently "Made using EU milk" They don't even say which mammal it comes from.

I suggest you try again with decent ingredients.

Whoa! I missed that one!

“Even you”???

Bloody charming! 😂😂😂

EU milk will obviously come from a lady sheep. It’s right there in the name 🙄

I've not tried Stanley's sandwich but hat's off to it for at least providing us with a very entertaining thread. Thanks OP.

The other week at a wedding then food was awful
Steak well I wouldn't of called it steak but the venue said it was steak, carrots that couldn't be cut and a rock hard Yorkshire pudding. The spuds was ok.
Sticky toffee pudding that seemed to be missing the toffee it was dry flavourless.
£65 a head for rubbish food I could have done better myself.

Cronuts are revolting.
There are a few mongrel baked concoctions floating around take the worst of two things and coat them in sugar.

Krispy Kreme doughnuts are dry unless fresh off the assembly line.

Magnolia cupcakes are far too sweet. Hummingbird’s are better, but still overly sugary.

Lots of bread pretending to be sourdough is just overpriced normal bread. Sourdough is expensive because it takes so much time to make. You can’t convincingly fake that with a quick commercial loaf.

You are so right about cronuts. I bought one once as a treat. It looked lovely and came from a good bakery. It was so disgusting I fed it to the pigeons.
