    I once found a recipe for a casserole that combined shrimp, angel hair pasta, salsa and lots of fresh veggies and expensive spices. I looked forward to it all week and dropped a bit of $ on the spices. I followed the recipe to the letter and though it looked beautiful the whole thing had a very stomach bile flavor :/. My husband said after his first bite..."I have a pretty good idea how this would taste coming back up" . Ended up having PBJ sandwiches instead.

    When I was 12 my Mom got our first microwave. It came with a book saying you could cook anything in it. My mom cooked a chicken in it....just no.

    LOL. I inherited a ton of cookbooks from my husband's grandmother and there was about 4 of them that was recipes for cooking chickens and roast in the microwave. Just the thought... *gag*

    My worst meal was probably the time I was out of crackers and making meatloaf. Tried substituting Cool Ranch Doritos and my husband still gives me crap about that one.....15 years later.

    liver and brussel sprouts.

    the only thing that could have made it worse would have been black licorice for dessert.

    The McRib.

    As Sam Kinison once said, McDonald's decided to put *kitten* on bread and call it a sandwich.

    The gastrointestinal distress that followed was not pleasant either.

    Miracle noodles. Just couldn't choke them down. They have a very weird texture.

    That actually sounds like a delicious meal to me!

    TVP as a vegetarian then vegan youth definitely was the sign to get back to my carnivorous ways. It's not natural.

    I should also add that I'm in the military so I've been subjected to all manner of DFAC food both overseas and CONUS, MREs and everything in between.

    Powdered 'eggs' heated up in an MRE? No.

    Ever had American 'comfort food' cooked up my contract workers from Kurdistan while in Afghanistan or Iraq? Not awesome.

    Mystery meat of all sizes, shapes and colors... usually coated in some sort of sauce.

    Salmon, crab legs and other seafood frozen and shipped in via convoy from God knows where. I advise you stay away from the lobster on holidays. More people than I can count have suffered Montezuma's revenge after consuming the food on "surf and turf" nights, and if there is one place you don't want to be sick it's in a deployed environment.

    STILL - The sweet potato tots were somehow worse.

    When my husband came back from Iraq, he told me the horrors of the food from over there. I know he had a little umm... 'mishap' on a convoy bc the food messed w/ his stomach something terrible. That convoy was a loong trip, too. Felt so bad for him!

    My husband has a GREAT story about one thanksgiving in the late 80s where the TURKEY was cooked in a microwave. :laugh:



    As for me,, I had some pretty funky food court sushi once. The rice was still warm and wasn't proper sticky rice and the fish was I think sitting out for the better part of the day. Worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.

    A co-worker of mine will cook pork, chicken, or beef in the microwave at work.. all look the same when done and doesn't smell very pleasant. :ohwell:

    I think it was when i tried to make a vegan pizza. I made vegan pizza dough, my own pasta sauce with the immersian blender, topped with "Daiya" cheese.

    It looked so pretty... i was so happy with myself...


    and then i tried it.


    threw the whole thing away.

    lunch that we tried at a place called 5 guys, the meal actually came out in a bag that was dripping with grease, the burgers were well done and all the juice had dripped out onto/into the bun and veggies, and the fries were so soggy from the grease that you could not even eat them. Needless to say we have never gone back again and tell all of our friends to stay away from that place but we have a few that actually like it
