I went to this place that sells "Greek" food and American diner food. Gyros, corn dogs, burgers, fries, root beer on tap, etc. I used to absolutely love this place growing up.

Bought a corn dog and a gyro. Gyro meat was flat-out burned, and the corn dog was frozen in the middle. I think they made it from frozen sausages to make battering it easier, because it was not your typical frozen corn dog that you get at supermarkets. This place was (or used to be) legit.

I don't know why, but it just really depressed me. I suddenly understood conservatism and "muh tradition!"

Something came over me, and I drove back, threw it on the counter, and demanded a refund. Took my cash, went home and wept.

When my sister moved out, she wanted our family to come round and cool for us for reasons I'll never know. She must have known fine well that she couldn't cook. But 4 days independence and she thought she could.


We were served some kind of pasta dish. Imagine luke warm pasta with some bright pink, sweet, sickly tasting sludge ontop.

If I had to guess the ingredients it would be;
>mayonaise
>ketchup
>tomato puree
>corn starch
>her entire spice cabinet
>sugar

My sister's friend was getting married, and I was invited. The reception was at this little restaurant in a neighboring town. I'd never been there before, and had no idea what to expect. To tell the truth, I wasn't expecting much. This area is not generally known for culinary finesse (this is the land of the tater-tot casserole). When we got there and saw the buffet, I almost cried. It was like I was back in school. There were sad gray vegetables, shoe-leather meat, and roasted potatoes. I took a big spoonful of the potatoes, thinking, "It's pretty much impossible to fuck up roasted potatoes, so these should be fine, right?" WRONG. They were mushy and soaked in what I assume was canola oil, with very little seasoning.

I tried so hard to eat that food. I liked the bride and didn't want to hurt her feelings. But I mean god damn. If I'd gone to the restaurant on my own and been served that meal, I'd have refused to pay.

I always go to this sandwich shop for lunch, at about 1:30 they get all their cooked food and put it together in sandwiches and sell them for £1 each. Yesterday there was a sausage and tomato, all the tomato had absorbed into the bun and it was like red mush that fell apart. When I looked inside there was a fucking bean inside, 1 single bean.

I guess that's what I get for going to a place with a 3/5 hygiene rating.

Family reunion in the Deep South that I couldn't get out of.

Food consisted of:
>Easy Cheese casserole sandwiches on stale white bread
>Punch where each bowl of the stuff contained a literal pound of sugar
>Some sort of angel food bundt cake that looked, felt, and tasted like a kitchen sponge
>Cold fried chicken coated with a thick layer of translucent grease
>Decaf instant coffee
>Casseroles, casseroles, and more casseroles
>Krispy Kreme donuts

Looking at that buffet line explained a lot about why the people in that room looked the way they did.

nacho fries from Big Boy

there aren't any Big Boys where I'm from, so I saw one and thought it would be nice to try. The place is like a cross between an Ihop and a McDonalds. They gave me a soggy pile of french fries topped with dog food and "cheese." I think I ate a few, realized I had made a horrible mistake, paid ten dollars and left. I had to swat flies away from my table the whole time I was there, too.

Only thing I can remember is this 10 year old "potatoh and spinach soup mix" my mom thought would be a good idea to make.

I have never in my life disrespected my mom, but I told her "Mom you'll regret making me eat this" and she says "Just eat it please, it's all we have."
Next day at 11 in the morning I walk into the hallway to use the bathroom and vomit so hard I fall down, then I shoot so much diarrhea that I stand back up. I slowly make my way down three flights of stairs puking and shitting down to the main office. it feels like eternity, my mom comes to pick me up with fresh shorts and I have to wear a trash bag home, crying the entire drive home.

I think we moved after that, I'm not sure if I remember.

Otherwise, it's the time my mom made curry again after a long time since she made it and I realized it wasn't as good as I remembered it. The potatoes were crumbly, carrots were mushy, beef was tough, and the rice crunched in my mouth. I cried that day, because it was the day I realized I was a man and no longer a boy.

I have not cried since that day.

My dad made swiss chard as a side dish once.
We usually eat it cooked with a little potatoes, salt, and olive oil on top.

He just cooked it, didn't put any salt inside, no potatoes, no olive oil, just overcooked green mush on the plate that tasted like some kind of industrial waste.
Was kinda surprised because he usually cooks good.

Dandelion greens. I'm an adventurous eater but those were far too bitter.

Also, I once when I was a kid at camp I had a cup of instant beef ramen that made me throw up 20 minutes after I ate it. Didn't have a fork so my friend let me use her hair chopsticks. I washed them 3 times but still couldn't get the grease and chemicals out. Then to make matters worse the soup was spoiled. I'll never forget that smell. The only thing I've smelled that came close to it was when years later I made the mistake of taking a big whiff of rotten olive oil. That was a decade ago and to this day the thought of instant beef soup makes me physically ill. brb going to dry heave for 15 minutes

One time my girlfriend tried to make sausage and peppers, but got confused by my spice rack and dumped in way too much of everything. It was completely inedible, but I still managed to get through about half of the plate she served out of love and sheer determination to not to make her feel bad.

When I was about 11 years old I was with my parents as we traveled to South Carolina. All three of us were desperately hungry but they didn't want fast food. Finally we saw a sign on the side of the road for "authentic Carolina barbeque". We stopped there and ordered two full racks of ribs to eat between the three of us.

It was then that we found out the horrible truth about "Carolina barbeque".

THEY FUCKING USE A MUSTARD BASED SAUCE THERE!!!!!

That was more than 20 years ago now and I would be hard pressed to think of a meal that was more of a soul crushing disappointment in my whole life.
