Describe the shittiest meals you have ever had.

[Bouncy Ball]

Mine would have to be the crepes that had bits of bell pepper in them (not on purpose) and were cold and tough. Served with a side of nearly raw bacon.

What about you? Crappiest meal ever?

[jpgray]

1. Wendy's, late one night

I swore off fast food after that.

[Bouncy Ball]

6. And when you haven't had fast food in a long time

it's even harder to eat again. Wendy's: it is to shudder. I saw Supersize Me and can't touch fast food.

29. I've had my worst fast food meals ever at Wendy's

Funny, 'cause when I was a kid it was my favorite fast food place since there wasn't one in town; it was actually exciting to go to Wendy's! When we finally got one in my hometown it turned out to be the most consistently disgusting fast food I've ever had; stopped giving it a chance a couple years back. I haven't completely sworn off fast food (doubt I could, honestly) but eat much less of it than I used to, especially in high school.

2. The shrimp curry I ate in Honolulu once

I was sick for about five days. Did you know that the Hyatt Regency at Waikiki has an emergency room? Neither did I until then. :puke:

I couldn't eat shrimp for a long time after that...

[bobthedrummer]

3. Chitlins/chitterlings

they still smelled of stools:puke:

[Bouncy Ball]

4. Oh.....gross.....

I'm speechless....

[bobthedrummer]

10. Yep, I took a couple of bites and almost hurled because they were

boiled only. The stench was unforgetable.

[Huckebein the Raven]

9. I'll admit that I had some when I was a kid before I knew what they were

now I won't go near them

[CottonBear]

5. NYC. China Town .Waiter spit in food. eom

[Huckebein the Raven]

7. A bad batch of Wendy's chicken nuggets

:puke:

[Bouncy Ball]

8. Wow, that's two for Wendy's just in this thread.

[auntAgonist]

11. I didn't have it ...

The waitress brought me the WRONG breakfast at the KC East Truckstop in Missouri, BRAINS & EGGS and hashbrowns .... ewwwwwwwwwwwww

I could barely get the words out of my mouth to PLEASE take it back, it's NOT mine LOL


gag a maggot.

12. I was in the hospital Monday and for lunch they served

macaroni with a white, watery cheese sauce, steamed cauliflower, a semi-cooked fish fillet, and diced beets. The drink was milk. The dessert was rice pudding. If it weren't for the beets, I would have thought I developed color blindness.

[Bouncy Ball]

16. Is it bad that your post made me giggle, finecraft?

color blindness, indeed! Yuck! I would have only eaten the cauliflower.

[finecraft]

20. I could only stomach the rice pudding

And to think that the hospital actually pays a dietary staff to come up with these menus. On Sunday night they had sauteed shrimp in a tomato sauce....served over mashed potatoes. I've never had shrimp served over a scoop of mashed potatoes before....and hopefully I'll never have to again.

[khashka]

13. Avacado Soup

My lover made it. From scratch. He worked really hard. It was all I could do to choke it down without vomiting. But I was good and told him how nice it was.

But now he thinks I really like it and he keeps making it :(

Khash.

[Fenris]

14. A Mexican restaurant on Galveston Island.

Salsa's, I think. Nice looking restaurant, but their food was absolutely the worst. How can you screw up a cheese quesadilla?

[Not_Giving_Up]

15. Well, I didn't technically HAVE this meal, but...

My mom once made a tuna casserole when I was about 10. She can't boil water, but she tries, I guess. Anyway, I was always a picky eater, and took one whiff and said EWWWWWW! Mom got upset because she just knew this would make my brother (who at that point would eat anything that didn't eat him first) not want it. He took a bite and said EWWWWW. Mom flipped out, insisting that this was my doing. She took a bite, and agreed. She took it to the backyard, and dumped the whole casserole in the dog's dish. The dog ran to the other side of the yard and wouldn't come back until the dish was gone. Pretty shitty meal.

[mike_c]

17. oh gawd, the number of bad meals I've scarfed on interstate highway...

...exits is utterly frightening. I couldn't begin to figure out which was worst.

[Bouncy Ball]

19. The one I described was eaten on an interstate highway exit

on a road trip, and like you, I've had many. I just described the most recent one.

:puke:

[yellowdogintexas]

18. anything that was ever served in my school cafeteria from first

grade until the end of ninth grade

then I changed schools and the new one had better food.

fish so greasy you could see it in the meal coating

dead overcooked green peas

icky hamburgers

did I mention the awful fish

everything smelled like the bleach they used to clean the kitchen

blehhhhh

[Tom Kitten]

21. A can of sardines mashed together with a can of BM baked beans...

...heated on a white gas stove on a sailboat in the middle of the Columbia River on a very windy day...It's a long story but what was supposed to be a pleasant day on a sailboat turned into an ordeal and after eight hours of fright and hard work it actually tasted pretty good! Everybody I tell this story to says "eww" so I suppose mixing sardines and baked beans could be considered pretty gross...Sorry but I was hungry!

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

22. Mom's hamburgers.

My eldest brother always refered to them as "hockey pucks" because that's what they resembled.

They were absolutely awful and we had them every Saturday night along with Oscar Meyer hot dogs and Jays potato chips when we all living at home.

If my grandmother hadn't lived with us, I don't think any of the four of us would have survived.

[Digit]

23. Had a meal at an expensive restaurant in San Diego.

I was eons ago, but it was downdown San Diego in a high rise. Several of us had ordered steaks. Someone had filled the salt shakers with sugar and several of us had inadvertently sprinkled sugar on our steaks. It was inedible, and expensive.
The restaurant refused to do anything about it and it ruined a family affair where my mother had come out from the east coast and my brother and his family had come down from LA.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

24. My brother's ex-girlfriend...

Was living with the family. She decided to cook one night. She made "vegetable stew". Right. Youuuuuu betcha.

What she made was the grey library paste, only more watery and it tasted worse. In fact, library paste would have improved the flavor, had it been added.

We couldn't eat it. It was just inedible. She broke down into hysterics.

What a meal. Whoo boyee.

[Sandpiper]

25. Tuna Noodle Casserole

The most vile excuse for a dish ever created.

When my Mom made it, I'd go to bed without dinner before I choked any of it down.

Thinking about it too long still makes me queasy.

[SmileyBoy]

26. A Mexican quiche from my campus cafeteria one morning for breakfast

Tasted absolutely HORRIBLE. It seriously tasted bitter, like ear wax. There was really nothing else good to eat for breakfast, except for oatmeal (which I HATE), so I was stuck with that awful quiche. I did have some bacon on the side, but it was nuked beyond recognition. The bacon was black. That meal gave me diarrhea for the rest of the day.

I don't eat breakfast at the campus cafeterias anymore.

[rwheeler31]

27. Order a very mild meal and its too hot to eat. Yuck

nt

[WindRavenX]

28. man...my heart breaks for this man

:hug: to him, and you too Bouncy for being a good friend.

[PartyPooper]

31. It was in Egypt. About 25 years ago.

My partner and I had been traveling and eating over-cooked food without veggies for about a week (No salads, etc.-only beer allowed!)

Then, one night we we served these dessert thingies with whipped cream. I caved in.

But, the next morning my stomach caved in, too!

I was sick for 3 whole days...on a bus (for 12 hours) with diarrhea! Ewwwwwww! :-(

But, somehow I recovered.

:-)

[BiggJawn]

32. My first wife's cooking...

Atrocious. My daughter still comments how my "thrown together" beat anything her mom spent hours on...

Meatloaf, made with Creme of 'Shroom soup and cooked in a loaf pan. It was SWIMMING in a "gravy" that was 1/2 grease and 1/2 congealed soup....<shudder>`

[HEyHEY]

33. Barley and bullseye sauce

God I loved university

[CO Liberal]

34. A Sirloin Steak - Take-Out from "Black-Eyed Pea"

It sucked - big-time.

[borlis]

35. Cream of Tomato soup at Bakers Square

It was more like ketchup in a bowl with water. Really gross. They should just stick to the pie making.

[pansypoo53219]

36. oooh, bad childood memory

my mom is a crappy cook, but oh boy. this was bad. a crock pot 'goulash' which predominaely was pork and apples.
oh god. i can still smell it, uh oh, here comes the taste.

of course that dinner out at a restaurant in manhattan. how that place could do something so rotten.

[SW FL Dem]

37. When I was a kid I stayed overnight at a friend's house

They fed me liver and boiled turnips. I spent the evening barfing, they blamed it on the flu, but I have never eaten either once since then.

[borlis]

39. That's disgusting.

As an adult I wouldn't touch it. Why force something so gross on a kid?? :shrug:

[xmas74]

42. Liver and onions pretty much sucks too.

My mom made it often. I was anemic as a child and the older doctors used to tell parents to feed them crap like this to "fortify the blood". But I also got a thimbleful of wine everyday-thanks to doc.

[LibDemAlways]

38. Many summers ago I was in France

and went out to the coast to a place called Mt. St. Michel. The guide book I was relying on touted the "world famous" Mt. St. Michel omlette, and I just had to have one. Walked into a small restaurant with my husband and a friend and we ordered up three omelettes. What arrived on our plates were mounds of tasteless, overcooked, hardened eggs that my husband likened to "seat cushions." Horrible. The waitress was snickering at us and we just knew we'd been had.

[mykpart]

40. One of my grandmother's friends made me a casserole.

It had tuna, spinach & mayonaisse, but was hot! I get nauseated now just thinking about it.

[xmas74]

41. Haggis.

Headcheese sucks too. Mountain oysters aren't too pleasant.

[Nay]

43. OMG. I had a soup called "menudo" in a Mexican restaurant.

IIRC, it had hominy (which I HATE) and some sort of pork guts in it. I literally thought I was going to puke across the table, just like Christopher's girlfriend in the Sopranos.

[annonymous]

44. My mother was a lousy cook so I had many bad meals.

The absolute worst was red flannel hash. She only made it once because we told her it looked like something the dog puked up. Red flannel hash is beets, corned beef, potatoes, onions and carrots mixed together. It tastes as bad as it looks.
