Disappointing meals.

[twistedmic]

Once while baking bread, I had a bad batch of yeast and the loaves came out half cooked (they were still dough in the middle).

Also, when I was six I cooked a batch of brownies (the first thing I ever remember cooking) and used the wrong measuring cup. I accidentally put in one and a quarter cups of oil instead of only a quarter of a cup. The end result was completely inedible, oil gushed out of the brownies at the slightest touch.

I tried making some chocolate souffle the other day, and it didn't even rise at all in the oven. And what's worse, it didn't even taste all that chocolatey.

Probably some fish I ate about two years ago that gave me horrible stomach cramps and resulted in me spewing my guts out twice. That was quite disappointing. I'm a vegetarian now so at worst my food might be a little bland, but that's fine. I'm quite happy with anything that doesn't make me violently ill.

Weeks ago I was attending the usual get together with my relatives in the local Chinese resturant. I decided that time to order fried beef in cantonese saurce instead of my usualy black bean beef. It turn out the fried beef were like tiny bacon strip but it was too hard to chew to be enjoyed. I should of order friend chicken in Cantonese saurce instead since that what my mum had and tasted better (we were sharing our meals).

I bought a Mcdonalds Breakfast meal. it tasted like CRAP, no joke it was shocking

 

[FamoFunk]

I paid £6 for a Pizza Monday that was blatantly a £1 ASDA Smart-Vale or something frozen one. It's Smart-Vale for a reason - it's fucking shit.

Not me... but one of my sister's friends:

Went to BurgerKing (fuck only knows why...) got a chicken burger and said no mayo (allergy... or some reaction or other). No surprise, it had mayo in it. She takes it back and gets a new one. *chomp* something that resembles mayo comes oozing out... it was a cyst in the chicken meat.

*brrrr*

Right now I'm eating a chicken sandwich on a whole-grain kaiser with chicken breast from a chicken I baked myself, mixed with mayo, plus real mustard, Branston Pickle and bacon...

...so disappointed that I'm out of lettuce and green onions.

You guys really have crap fast food restaurants near you.

When I go to McDonald's or Burger King, their kitchen is visible and I know what happens to the food I order.

Anyway, any restaurant that demands more than 15 euro for a plate. It's generally not worthy, the price is justified by a manager with a giant ego or a pretentious chef.

i once had fish and chips that tasted like it had a bucket of seawater over it.

and even one bite was enough to make me heave my guts out FOR TWO DAYS.

 

[thiosk]

corned beef and cabbage with potatos and plantains at the nexus cafe at the stanford university campus.

meh. potatos were mealy, cabbage was tasteless, and the corned beef was excessively fatty.

captcha: whet your appetite.

Just now.

I had a chicken sandwich with ranch. The thing is, the bread was 'meh', it was thin sliced chicken, the cheese was alright, and the ranch was, well, it's ranch.

At this point I was just wanting to get rid of a headache, too bad my stomach doesn't see it that way.

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

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 like it when they're at a point that you don't need to chug water, but your eyes are watering, nose is dripping and you're panting; couple that with a nice sweet sticky sauce and a nice thick stout (Guinness preferably) and you've got yourself the perfect night out at a bar!

Every time I've been to a "posh" restaurant, order something, and when it comes out it's a tiny little morsel of food on a HUGE plate.
[sub]Also, it's usually really expensive. Hardly value-for-money.[/sub]

Give me something substantial please.

Anyway, any restaurant that demands more than 15 euro for a plate. It's generally not worthy, the price is justified by a manager with a giant ego or a pretentious chef.

Agree with both of these.Recently my father treated myself and my 2 brothers to a meal in a "fancy" hotel.I think it worked out at ?40 a head for a 4 course meal.Yeah the food was nice but the portions were fucking pathetic.

Compare that to the Chinese restaurant down the road from my house.?18 for a 4 course meal.Lovely food and substantial portions.

Guess which one I eat at regularly

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Eating a lasagne as I type... it's terrible mass produced, military issue lasagne, in a polystyrene container with plastic cutlery...

Also I burnt my tongue being a bit over enthusiastic smoking my pipe yesterday... Not only is it a crap lasagne, but it stings like a ***** to eat too...

EDIT: I should note however that I am only dissapointed at this meal, because it looks nicer than it tastes... I am in no way comparing it to the Ration Packs or Feild Kitchens my freinds down range are tucking into...

EDIT2: Actually scrap that... Rat Packs and Military Chefs are far better than this crap, and I would trade up at the drop of a helmet food wise!

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Tried the McRib once.

Didn't live up the hype.

I've been on a diet since the year started, and overall, I've done very well on it. Part of the diet was no fast food.

Well, about a month ago, I just had this craving for Taco Bell (I know, I know. Eww. I wanted a chicken flatbread sandwich though. I love those things). Well, they apparently stopped serving them. So I just bought a couple tacos and left. Biggest mistake of my life. I felt like I was going to vomit.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

My 6-inch Meatball Marinara from "Subway" both making me wish I?d ordered a Footlong instead because I still wanted more afterwards, and lamenting on how sloppily thrown together the greasy thing was, to the point that the meatballs, the sauce and everything else was just bulging out of the bread. Still tasty, though.

I remember when I was eating my dinner with my mother at a restaurant in a hotel we stayed at on our visit to Ireland almost a year ago, the gaps between the starter, main course and dessert were helluva long, and when they actually came, the courses weren?t -that- big.

 

[A Raging Emo]

A while ago my dad and I went to an Italian Restaurant, and we paid (if I recall correctly) around £60 for the two of us. He had Spaghetti Bolognese I think, and I had this Pasta... Thing.

Anyway, my meal was really disappointing and not very nice.

That Double Decker pizza from Greco. It looked so good in the flyers too.
