Worst Food Experience

[Eric Potts]

I like to think I'm open minded about culinary experimentation : Abalone liver was one of the less common things I've tried .
But i had tete de veau in Normandy , expecting something meaty . but it was a most gelatinous and unpleasant concoction .

Any other experiences ?

Getting food poisoning from dodgy takeaway fish and chips. The next day was not pleasant.

Tripe is not one of my favourites.

Roast parsnips, Satans chips, vile, vile, vile, vile. And don't get me started on rhubarb.

Roast parsnips are a gift from god : you , sir , are spouting gibberish.

No, no I am not. Parsnips are extruded from Beelzebubs anus, they serve no purpose than to make man wretch, if Mephistopheles himself stalked these pages he would be lapping up the souls of those who consumed the fruit of the Devil.

You don't like rhubarb and you don't like "acting" - you, sir, are a wrong un.

Honey roast parsnips are life's winning combination.

Grubbs gave me a really bad burger once.

I've given tripe enough chances to declare it bloody awful stuff.

1st time, in a restaurant in France where it was the signature dish. Horrible
2nd time, in a pub in Yorkshire with a reputation for the dish: Horrible
3rd time, cooked by me following a recipe from Larousse. Horrible
4th time, a tin from a Polish deli recommended to me by a Pole who rates it highly. Horrible

I've given up

Once had a salad from an 'open salad bar' at Sainsburys Haywards Heath. Spent the next two weeks in hospital (along with a fair few others) after catching dysentery ( sp). I would not wish that on my worst enemy.

Anyone who eats parsnip or rhubarb is deaf in the tongue, go get yourself checked out, there may still be time for you to be cured.

Jumbo sausage and chips from The Blue Ocean, Worthing , about 10 years ago. I owned it for about 4 hours then was impelled to throw it up when I went for a 3am leak. You all know the scenario, you feel a little unwell and your bladder says you need a leak, you go to the whizzer and turn on the light and you and the old china toilet make eye contact and you suddenly know you are not here for a leak, it's serious.
However, once you have voided said Jumbo Sausage, life seems as comfortable as a pair of slippers. It's all relative.

Getting dysentery after eating from Sainsburys salad bar.
Years ago my mum found something in her spinach quiche, we were eating at Wakehurst Place I think, it was like a piece of dishcloth or something - yuk.
Also I found a piece of thread or twine or something embedded in a slice of bread from Tesco!

Ooh me too (read thread after I posted)
I must have had it quite 'mild' then as I didn't go to hospital and wasn't actually diagnosed with it.

I think you're the one who needs to be cured mate! You're missing out on one of the FINEST elements GOD has GIFTED us for the Sunday ROAST!

Olives, end of story. Disgusting little critters.

Spent 3 days on a toilet after a dodgy Burger King in Holland. Very unpleasant. Thought the raw meat in the middle of the burger was how burgers are supposed to be Holland so happily demolished it late at night after a few beers. Never had a fast food burger since.
