Disappointing meals.

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

The other day I was in the city and I got hungry. So I go to Wendy's and order a double burger. My stomach was just growling constantly. I unwrap it and... BAM. It was the single greasiest burger I can ever recall eating. I still ate it because I was famished but I didn't enjoy it. Maybe it was just that one Wendy's but I know I will hesitate to eat there again.

When was the last time you were disappointed by your food? What was it?

The other day I went to "which-which", custom sub sandwiches. I'm the only customer there, so I payed for my order, and since I know they usually take a while, I went to the grocery next door to get a few items.

I come back 10 minutes later to find that my sandwich has not been started because one employee is on break and the other is handling the register, which now has a line of customers. They finally ring them all up and start the sub, so I sit and wait for another 5 minutes. Then I look up, and none of the employees are there, they're all in the back room or something. Meanwhile my sandwich sits at the far end of the toaster-treadmill, having already been toasted and getting cold. At this point I started my phone timer, and it took another 5 minutes for someone else to come out of the back to dress and wrap the sub.

I know this is a "first-world" problem, and I got over it quickly, but jeez I wish any of those employees had considered how I felt waiting 20 minutes for a luke-warm sub.

I went to a McDonald's (forgive me) and was craving some hardcore junk food. Unfortunately, my burger looked like somebody had made it, thrown it at the wall and stepped on it. I still ate it, and it was awful.

The coke was nice though.

Well, I just ate a pizza.

That wasn't very satisfying.

Whenever I order the "super hot","five alarm","suicide" wings at any restaurant, they're usually not THAT hot.

Today

Hot dog, double steak burger, fries

Fries soggy, food cold.

The only thing they got right was the bottle of water.

And yes I only eat once every day.

Good lord this is the most common problem for me. If it isn't causing me to chug a gallon of water on the first few bites, it aint hot. And I hope the establishment burns to the ground for failing to deliver on said wing's spiciness.

I bought a roast beef sub at Jimmy John's the other day that must've been 60-80% fat. Gross.

Yesterday, I had some pork and green beans.

It felt like something was missing, maybe mashed potatoes.

Harvey's failed me last month. They're usually quite good but ya. Total let down.
My KD also failed me today (well yesterday) when I made it for lunch. Stovetop, just butter no milk. 95% comes out perfect. Tasted like well, it was edible, but I'm gona say crap.

my meal standards are SO LOW that this rarely happens to me. the last time i can remember being dissappointed in my food was a few years ago on a business trip in houston, tx. i had got some nacho's for breakfast, and didn't finish them. i had stored it in a styrofoam container to eat later, but that evening when i started eating it again, i noticed it looked kinda funny. like a little white forest was growing on it. i ate a few bites, but decided the fuzzy texture was also kinda strange. i suspected the strange white forest might be mold, so i had my roomate verify it. turns out it was a pretty bad case. he was fairly horrified at the sight and tossed it for me. i'd never heard of anything getting that moldy that fast before. though, i wasn't used to that sort of climate either. i was just disappointed that i didn't finish it earlier. i hate wasting food.

I was planning on having nachos for dinner one day.
Then I thought that maybe it might taste better if I added a few scrambled eggs on under the cheese/chili.

But it didn't taste the way I thought it would.
I was disappointed.

 

[SD-Fiend]

pretty much anything I put in the microwave.

I go to college and the Cafeteria is apart of my housing scholarship, so many disappointing meals are to be had. Two major instances come to mind: first was spaghetti where the sauce had no more taste than water, and they added these smoked sausage chunks that had some herb or something in them. Problem was, they completely overpowered everything, and didn't even taste good.

Yeah, I had that problem too, so when my microwave broke I decided not to buy another one and it's working out better but it's a little more work when I need to reheat something not to mention it takes longer, though it tastes better than on microwave.

Oh yeah and pretty much every single fast food I eat, I hate fast food, well most fast food anyway but seriously, Taco Bell I almost vomited, I don't understand how is this shit a taco?! HOW?! It tastes like shit and it doesn't even look like a taco, so the lesson learned if you want tacos eat them on México made by a Mexican that knows what he's doing or alternatively do it myself though that's pretty much the same.

I'm a huge lasagna fan, and one day in a restaurant I ordered one piece of theirs.

It was horrible. No taste, no spices, hard to eat because I couldn't even feel the meat... Never eating lasagna not-homemade again.

I went to a McDonald's (forgive me) and was craving some hardcore junk food. Unfortunately, my burger looked like somebody had made it, thrown it at the wall and stepped on it. I still ate it, and it was awful.

The coke was nice though.

I can top that. The one time I order a big mac from there, I go home open it up. I had said 'just ketchup' but they put everything on it. I take a bite, hear an cricking sound and look down and see a giant ass bug looking up at me from the bite I had just taken. After throwing it away, and throwing up I then vow not to eat from there ever again. Then the entire staff got changed after a health inspector cleaned it out.

Why didn't I sue? Well for one I was home so I had no proof that I didn't just put the bug there myself. And second: I was just so sickened my only thought was: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

That definitely goes onto the list of various horror stories from fast food joints.

Needles, rats, chicken heads, and now bugs. The most shudder inducing thought is that you are most likely (if not absolutely) not the only one.

*shudder*

There's a fast-food place literally 20 seconds walk away from my flat that does pretty nice burgers (relative to a £3 price tag, anyway) but the chips that come with them are very poor. They aren't decent chip-shop chips like I want; they're tiny little greasy things with no taste. Not terrible, just... well, dissapointing.

I'm living in an army base. The question is when I am NOT disappointed with the food.
