What is the worst meal that someone has ever cooked for you?

>> No.4773402

My Uncle was off his meds, and he made us some God awful casserole bullshit. It was half cooked, and some bits were over done. It had just about every spice we had in the cabinet, half cooked vegetables of every kind, and some meat I couldn't identify.

But yeah, eastern and western spices don't mix with crap like that.

>> No.4773422

In one meal, I and other dinner guests were served:

rice mixed with boiling water, sour cream, snipped chives and cheddar cheese baked in the oven; the rice, of course, was still raw (I think he thought all rice was instant rice, poor thing)
chicken quarters simmered in a mixture of a bottle of barbecue sauce and an equal volume of chicken broth; the chicken was then grilled and the result, although tasteless and mushy, at least was cooked through and somewhat edible
refried beans from a tin mixed with salsa from a jar topped with sour cream
shredded mixed cabbage from a bag tossed with caesar dressing from a bottle (yes: cabbage; not lettuce)
yellow cake from boxed mix with frosting from a pouch

And this was after the guy cooking bragged and bragged and bragged how great of a cook he is and another person confirmed the fib.
That was the first and last time I ate at the home of a white WASP American who grew up in the Yankee 'burbs. They can't cook, fullstop.
After recounting this story to other Americans of other backgrounds, I was informed that an American WASP must be from the south to be able to cook a damn. They will otherwise cook as this guy did or even worse.
Tom Armstrong, your cooking is fuckawful. Go die.

Yes, it is better than iceburg lettuce (I don't think we have crispwater back home; is iceburg an American exclusive?), but there are myriad other lettuces better than any cabbage for the purpose of salad, most of which are neither rare/uncommon nor costly, such as romaine, butter/bibb, frisée and others.
Or what about spinach? "Spring mix?" There's no end to the things that make better salads than cabbage does.

Way back when I was in college grandma gave me a jar of what she called "brown soup" to take back after a break.
It was wet. It was brown. It was greasy.
It may at one time been ground beef and broth, at my best guess. Me and the guys who were brave enough to try it argued for a few days over what we thought was in it, got to the point where we took bets on it.
When I asked grandma over the phone later she said she forgot what it was and just gave it to me instead of throwing it away.

My dad and I have our fair share of failures as the cooks in our family. Nothing stands out, really.

I guess some shit my Midwestern grandma. She was raised by chain-smokers (strike 1) in Iowa (strike 2), didn't start cooking until she was in her 20s (strike 3) and made shit straight out of 1960s cookbooks, the kind with the Jello mold salads, (strike 4) and relied heavily on frozen foods (strike 5).

I have had some of the most tasteless food at my grandma's house. Chicken and egg noodles that will little more than frozen chicken breasts boiled in water with mushy noodles added in. 'Enchiladas' that are flour tortillas stuffed with ground beef, topped with American cheese.

Don't get me wrong, she can make Iowa staples like a mother. Lots of pork tenderloin sandwiches for sure. But if she leaves the pork comfort zone, it's just watery mush.

I've eaten bad food that people have cooked several times over the years, but the most vivid memory of bad food for me goes back to 4th grade. We had a party for the end of school, and everyone's mom brought snacks or desserts. My mom brought a huge tray of various kinds of cookies, which were awesome. She was a culinary school teacher and had been since before I was born, so I was used to eating really good food. A mom of one of my friends brought some chocolate cupcakes. I rarely ate cupcakes, so I was excited to have one. I took one, and as the mom stood there beaming at me, I smelled it, and thought it smelled a little weird, then I took a bite, and encountered severe disappointment and disgust. It tasted like plastic. Like, burnt plastic. It was the first time I had that sort of dessert disappointment, and I remember it very clearly. I can still practically smell and taste that damn nasty cupcake.

This is more sad than anything.

I stayed with a friend for a while during summer holiday. Her mother did all the cooking and was sweetly housewife-ish despite also working in a school. With such a mom and a traditional father, and my roommate being quite overweight, I was prepared for amazing dinners.

Oh god. Everything was from a package or extremely plain. For example, an entire week might consist of chicken either done in a pan or baked in foil (several nights- same spice, no sauce, just whole breasts), rice a roni sides, and a token veggie from a can or microwaved frozen (plain). The kicker was that the amount of vegetables they'd make, for all 4 of us, was equivalent to the amount I'd eat in one sitting at home. And the father never ate any at all.

Eventually I found a way to discreetly ask the mother about it, because even she seemed unhappy with her cooking.

Turns out, the father grew up on food like this. He won't eat any vegetables and just wants plain meats really. He'll eat other things if they're there, but won't try anything new either. She used to try and make good food at the start, but he just shit all over her efforts and asked for this. So to her, it became not worth it to do anything more than add water to a mix and shove chicken in the oven, since that's what he wanted anyway. And since the father set such an example when my roommate was a child (refusing vegetables and not trying new things) my roommate ended up only a little better.

It was so depressing seeing her break out the chicken and rice a roni every day after that.

A few months after I left, the father had a health check for work and was deemed unfit to continue due to extreme high cholesterol and blood pressure. So he basically lost his job and health over being such a dick about food.

A semester abroad in the uk
whole guest family was fat as hell, even their 2 year old kid (looked a bit funny when he walked).
Frozen meals 7 days a week, although the mother was staying at home, no fresh vegetables or fruit at home. Breakfast consisted of the shittiest white bread I ever ate in my life with peanut butter, nutella and generic bland yellow block of cheese.

Staying at my grandmothers house.

I would always get a ready meal, one of those ones that come in the box with a chewy piece of meat in jelly with dry corn and mashed potatoes that have the texture of toothpaste.
To go with it I was always given a piece of buttered bread with ketchup on it. She would always cut the crusts off in case I choke.
And to wash it down I was given a plastic cup of skimmed milk. I wasn't allowed it in a glass in case I break it and cut myself and I couldn't have tea because I could burn myself
The cutlery was a spoon, if something had to be cut she would cut it for me because I could cut myself with a knife or fork.
She would stare over me the whole time I was eating, you know, just because I could choke.
When I had to sleep there, she would sit in the room and wait until I was asleep in case I die trying to sleep.
When I was very, very young she would do it on the toilet too. Just because I may fall down or something.
At the age of 10 she called round a friend to sit and watch me whilst she left the house for 5 minutes to go to the chemist, didn't want me going outside because I may get hit by a car or shot or strangled or whatever strange thing she thinks will happen.

I just realized how little of this is about food, but the food was still terrible.

A friend of my stepfather came to visit, once, and much was made of his famous meatloaf recipe, and how he would make it for us when he arrived. I should have known this would not end well, because he was from Ohio. For those of you who haven't been, Ohio is sort of like the Fallout setting only with more vegetation.

Anyway, the guy shows up and has my mother pick up the ingredients for this much-anticipated dinner while she's out doing the normal weekly shopping. Later, I helped her unpack the food. "Why did you get two big bottles of ketchup?" I inquired. "They're for the meatloaf," she replied, with a hint of uncertainty.

Additionally, there was a generic packet of meatloaf seasoning.

Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that even though the meatloaf tasted like a heavily-spiced sponge soaked in ketchup, and most of the people who ate it got sick, the thing that makes this meal worth posting about is that it was my introduction to Veg-All. That was the side dish preferred by our guest cook, and never in my life have I seen such lifeless, awful veggies. The peas were mush, the lima beans existed, and the colors were so washed out that only way to tell the corn from the potatoes was the terrible black veins running through many of the latter.

I can still smell it.

I almost want to have a gay son, just so I can throw him away too.

Buddy of mine kept bragging about this dish he makes, and how it is the greatest thing ever.
So after hearing about for weeks I cave and go to his place to try it.
This is what I was served.
>Large flour tortilla
>Thick layer of mayo
>1 pound of cooked ground beef of very questionable quality.
>Low fat Ranch dressing
>Sort sort of cheese that doesn't melt.
>White bread.
So he piled this shit on, and placed it under the broiler for like 2 minutes for some reason. The cheese doesn't melt at all.
Then he brings the sloppy shitastic mess, half folds his and picks it up to start eating it. Much of it falls out on to his plate. I just stare at him. He says the best part is when all of the grease and meat bits fall to the plate he wipes it up with the white bread.

I decided to try them again in China, fried in chili oil - they were amazing, and I fell in love again, but I can't think too hard about them as I eat them. I just pretended they were something else, since the thought of green beans turns my stomach horrifically. I used to use the memory to get out of school sick, since I at the very least dry heave when I think about them.

My ex bf lived with a colourful bunch a few years back. I'm still friendly with this guy in the story - he's pretty big, but has improved his eating habits a lot.

backstory: We'd had a big night the night before, I had gotten as drunk as I have ever been in my whole life, and gotten very sick (it passed quickly and I just passed out, not a proud moment). The next day, K decides to make his specialty dish to cheer our hungover selves up.

>smells like sausages, think he's frying us some up
>we're getting excited, it's taking hours, must be elaborate
>eventually, he brings me a plate
>"it's bacon and egg pie!"
>I've never eaten it before (from a vegan family) so I got excited for a moment, before I look at it properly
>no bacon, instead the bottom was a layer of cheap sausage meat from a tube, a good 3 inches of it (it was more of a giant block really)
>tells me he used 2 dozen eggs between us, they're quite burnt on a thick layer on top of the meat
>several thick layers of store-bought pastry on top, he'd bought sweet pastry by accident
>there was a red gravy all over it, but when I tried it, it was actually just ketchup watered down
>he's quite sensitive, so I ate the whole thing and said it was good
>others start taking the piss, he gets shitty
>his dead dad had taught him the recipe
>"oh..."
>he made us all eat seconds, none of us dared complain or decline
>went back to my own flat, puked my guts up outside some poor soul's door (there was a drain, but I missed it my dizzy, sick state)
>the greasy, sweet, burnt-egg smelling mess haunts me to this day

Every time I decide to try a new meat, shit like this happens. Damn my vegan family for not teaching me about different kinds of meat in my youth.

Shepherd's pie is supposedly names that simply because it can stay in the oven for a long time, so it'll be perfectly ready when the shepherd comes home to his wife, which was always at uncertain times.

I have a German grandma who can't cook for shit.

One time she made me her version of "German Pancakes".

Three sheets of round pancake, a quarter thick, dense as a rubber show sole, and slathered in marmalade.

You see, the marmalade was the only real reason you could eat the shit. It helped the dry as fuck things slide down your throat.

Then, imagine throwing a brick off a bridge into a small pool of water. That's what it felt like swallowing these things when they hit your stomach.

Oh my god there was this guy I was friends with as a freshman in college, he would buy Vienna sausages from the school market and eat them with his fingers right out of the can. One day we were drunk as fuck. went to one of my school's cafeterias and he bought those damn sausages. He called me "childish" for suggesting what he was doing looked a little gross.

Oh fuck I remembered a really good one. So my cousin and his family think they are the pinnacle of existence (each one thinks that about themselves, I don't think they came to a consensus), and that includes their cooking. My cousin and his dad (who are as close as stink and shit) especially like to claim their amazing cooking prowess impresses all. A really good example of their "skill" is his grandmother's "famous" mac and cheese recipe, which is just large noodles, usually elbows or penne, layered with Kraft singles and garlic salt, then baked for roughly a century. It always comes out burned and tasting like dog shit.

Another good one is their omelet casserole, which is just a million scrambled eggs tossed into a pan with the same Kraft singles, some cheap shitty bacon, sausage and ham and baked for as long as the mac and cheese. It's god-awful, but they serve it every Sunday after they go to church (they're hyper-Conservative).

The worst thing I think is how my uncle cooks steak on his grill, which is to say he wraps it in aluminum foil because he "doesn't like cleaning the grill." And it's ALWAYS well-done, the man cannot cook a steak to save his life.

But god, this one time. He made some kickass sausage and gravy on weekend mornings, but one day it somehow struck him to make it with pepperoni instead of sausage.

Except this claim is baseless. You can get big on 3 hours of lifting a week, and I've never exceeded 10 hours of lifting a week (and that was an exceptional period of time that I will probably never approach again). I bet you spend more than 3 hours a week bitching on 4chan and looking at porn, and you definitely aren't making up for the time you're not lifting by studying or something.

Probably, I'm more mentally agile than you. When I'm not on duty at work, my nose is buried in a book, usually foreign language. I didn't get good at lifting by walking into a gym and being a meathead for 8 hours a day, I did my research and lifted smart.

Why would you want or need to get big? Getting big means getting heavier, which means I run slower and my cycling times are slower. I don't want to get big. That is not my goal in fitness. I don't look at porn, and I browse 4chan casually whilst studying to break it up. I recently starting studying for my Masters degree, so I think I am making up for my time by studying.

I doubt you are. I read a lot, too. Lifting smart doesn't mean consuming copious amounts of protein. That's lifting for liver damage. You don't need to weigh 200lbs to be a power lifter. Fruitandstrength on Youtube is a high carb vegan deadlifter who weighs under 150 and lifts heavy.

I do work hard, but not towards lifting and building mass because that is not something I want to achieve. I'd rather cycle, run, read, study, protest and do charity work than lift weights to become muscular in order to get girls so superificial as to choose guys based on their biceps circumference.

Good for you. You're in the minority by a huge margin. There's a reason that General Mills greatest sales numbers for Hamburger Helper come from the northern and northern midwestern states: cuz there's scant immigration from cultures who still cook and very few people who've been there for generations can actually cook at all anymore.

The worst thing I've ever had was from a school lunch. Normally school lunches weren't exceptional, but they weren't bad either and with some genuinely good stuff here and there. Basically what you'd imagine as a central European school canteen to look like.

But once, I guess the canteen got offered some cheap ducks or something and served duck breasts, legs? not sure was legs probably.

At first glance the piece of meat had literary chords of muscles wrapped around it.
It was essentially the duck equivalent of /sp/.

The bigger problem was though, that we couldn't get at the meat. Those chords of muscles were as hard as iron cables. A friend ended up trying to chew on one for something like half an hour. Before spitting it out and proclaiming that this could not be eaten.

Just FYI the sarcastic shitposter replying from here on out does not represent me or my opinions. (the OP of the "fat roommate" story)

But I will say that this viewpoint is totally ignorant of actual nutrition. Americans in general get way more protein than we need. Go take a look at how many grams per lb bodyweight you really need, then calculate how much meat you need to eat to get that. It's not even close to what we consume daily. There's no reason to make meat the main focus of a meal if you aren't in love with it, and using green veggies as a base is objectively healthier as long as you DO hit those protein requirements.

>>4780207

2. I went to my aunt's house and they offered us some tamales. I was pretty excited, since I was used to my mother's God-tier tamales, but when I tried it, the filling was extremely bitter. I think she fucked up with the chili paste she mixed it in with, but it was awful. As soon as my family got into the car to leave, they started commenting on how bad they had tasted.

My stepfather is a legendarily shitty cook.

By far the worst thing he ever made was a seafood marinara pasta.

He shelled out good money for some perfectly decent marinara mix. Cooked prawns, chunks of various bits of fish, squid, mussels.

He boiled all the fish in a pot of water until they were all overdone and flavorless, especially the prawns which had already been cooked. Then he tipped out the water (the only thing which would have had flavor in it) and tipped the seafood onto nasty overcooked pasta. And then he poured some cream on top. And that was the pasta.

If these humans in question were to eat more than the muscle of the animal, but also all the organ meats, brains, bones, etc, they would be able to happily subsist.

Muscle tissue doesn't have very much nutrients in it.

There's thousands of years of evidence of nomadic and semi-nomadic pastoral farmers subsisting on a diet predicated entirely or nearly so upon the meat and dairy of their animals. In times of leanness, there would be even more dependence upon dairy products.
