    When I went on a trip to France with School, the food served at the hotel was pretty bad. I was one of the few who didn't become ill. Because I was a vegetarian, for my main meal, they gave me a tomato with cheese on top (not even nice cheese either, the plastic sort of cheese:/). It's not like they'd done anything with the tomato either, like cooked it or something. It made me laugh, but it made me bad when they took our plates back and not much had been eaten. I kind of wanted to it eat just so that they didn't feel bad or so it didn't go to waste.:(

    I haven't really been served bad memory, or at least nothing springs to mind. Even the tomato isn't really bad. Sort of funny when you compared my veggie meal to what everyone else got. They got full meals. Hehe. I don't know why I find that sort of thing funny, but I do.

    Edit: Lol, just read this back. I haven't been served bad memory? Haha, just because that made me laugh I'm leaving it!:D

      I love tomatoes with a little salt and pepper on it. I find it to be very good.

    It wasn't a meal I was served, but one my dad was served a long time ago. He and my mom were generally really happy, but he must've really pissed her off. She always made his lunch for work, but this time, she spread the bread with dog food and gave him a handful of Milk Bones and some rawhide sticks, which he didn't discover until he got to work and unwrapped his lunch. All his co-workers thought it was way funnier than he did.

    To his credit, he came home and apologized for whatever it was. She apologized too, and although I don't remember what we ate, dinner was great that night. She must've known he'd be pretty hungry. :)

    The worst thing I ever ate was chicken and dumplings with bugs in it. I thought the bugs were pepper, but nope...bugs. Little flour bugs.

    It was either meat, deviled eggs, potato salad or this "salad", that's really a dessert, with pink colouring, coconut shreds and something else.

      My family loves ambrosia salad... I dunno it just looks weird too me, plus it has marshmallows and I'm vegetarian. So maybe I'm lucky I've never tried it !

    Twice - I was in Serbia visiting relatives. We stayed with a cousin and his wife served him lovely sandwiches, then went on to serve us a pathetic excuse for spaghetti bolognese. I'm pretty sure it was corned beef from the can dumped on top of cold pasta.
    The second time was in Egypt. We were staying at a hotel, somebody didn't want the salad on their plate so I had a bite and almost threw up. I don't know if whatever they put in the dressing was expired, but it literally tasted like death. If anyone here has taken liquid agnus cactus, it was like that but bitter and more astringent on an entirely different level.

    A Hawaiian BBQ pork sandwich which was so disgusting that I almost gagged before spitting it out. It was like meat coated in this grease/sauce garbage. It was like chewing grease sauce rubber bits. It was truly nasty which was weird because it was a popular restaraunt in a swanky part of town so to think that people enjoyed that shit blew my mind. I can no longer eat Hawaiian food. How are those people not dropping dead of heart disease like flies?

    My dad accidentally put glitter on his sand which once he thought that it was pepper. It probably didn't taste too bad but it was funny.

    I went to a friend's tea time and was served some kind of african food. I honestly don't know what it was, blobs of brightly colored stuff, and it was the most revolting thing i've ever ate. I was polite though and ate it, i swallowed every bite whole so i wouldn't have to chew and taste it ha ha i did think i might throw up a few times :/

    Lamb stew over rice with tongue. Bad cooks. Rice was really soggy. I'm not sure how tongue should taste but it was chewy/tough and i could not tear a piece off or chew it.

    I was at my friends house when we were about 10, and her mom had made some sort of tuna casserole. But she had run out of multiple ingredients and tried replacing them with things she found similar...

    1) Tuna casserole is really not all that good to begin with
    2) The ingredients that she found to be similar to the missing ones really were not similar at all.

    The end result was terrible, it smelled and tasted foul. We ended up dumping it all and making grilled cheese. Which is one of my favorites, so it wasn't so bad after all.

    I have been vegetarian for 10 years now. It grosses me out when someone handles meat and then touches my food.

    My mother in law isn't a very good cook. Well, I actually don't know because she never does it. Everything is processed and comes in a bag or box. Potatoes come in a box, no butter to be found, and the cheese is pre shredded and coated in preservatives. And she never has fresh garlic in the kitchen which I find very odd. I haven't been a vegetarian for a few years now but I haven't told them because then I would get served a frozen meat substance from god knows where. Thankfully my father in law does a lot of fishing so a fresh salmon is often pulled out of the freezer for me and I'm given a bag of pre chopped iceberg lettuce with a few carrot shreds. Yum!

    But it's getting better. They now buy block cheese.

    When my sister and I were kids, every year we had to go to our stepfather's mother's house between Christmas and New Year for dinner and to get our presents. Now they were English and it was always boiled meat, potatoes, and some kind of greens, like collard greens. It was awful, so we made an excuse to go for a walk, even though most times it was freezing cold or even snowing. Luckily, our Italian grandmother lived 2 doors away, and we'd go and eat pasta and then go back and say we weren't hungry.

    My grandmother is a spiteful woman. She got hella pissed when my uncle was busy working so couldn't come to her home for dinner. It was just me my mother, and my aunty and cousins.
    She obviously didn't feel like cooking if her son wasn't there so she slapped together this tuna pasta. It was basically tuna, flour, and some other weird under cooked fish that was all flappy and gross. The pasta was still hard and there were clumps of flour all through it.
    My cousins and I ate rice crackers instead.
