Tell me your..........

Eating out horror stories....... (sorry, but I've got some time to kill).

I went for a fab meal once at one of the oldest pubs in Britain (near Hay On Wye) and I was left with a little salad garnish on the plate, from which this little maggot thing crawled out, just as I had laid down my knife and fork !!

Sorry!

Maybe you should be a little flattered?! Definitely fancies you.

lol @ MWB!

Well Rinkins, I'm glad I don't have a taste for McDonalds. Actually, I hate junk food with a passion, tho I do love a curry!

Anyone get the feeling this thread has veered off course?

[mccfluff]

isn't the chicken pus thing an urban myth? and that manager was a right twonk!

i did get my cake fix eventually, i tried to be good and went home without getting anything then the OH arrived with a raspberry cheesecake for me, so i had to eat it all, would of been rude not to!

[MWB]

I've never had an eating out horror story, nor a food story at all.

The worst is just being disappointed that the food wasn't as nice as it should be.

Like KFC was dry that time or the carrots were slightly overcooked in that restaurant.

Mine wasn't so much a horror story, but funny just the same.

A night out on the Tuxedo Princess, we all got a bit peckish and decided to have a bite to eat. My friend ordered a burger with salad etc...another friend ordered a veggie burger, The veggie burger turned out to be all the salad and trimmings that you get with a regular beef burger and nothing else.
Just a bun with salad inside!! :o/ same price too! grrr

[rinkins]

I don't know fluffy but there are so many stories about McD's anyway?! I can't say they appeal to me either NoM.

Raspberry cheesecake?! Yummy, definitely should not go to waste!

[mccfluff]

must admit i coulnd't read it all as it made me feel sick!

Overcooked veg is a pet hate of mine. I did go to one of those Wooden Spoon jobs in Droitwich and had stuffed aubergine once. Let's just say it was unfit for human consumption. The wine was corked, too.

[rinkins]

That's it then, I am a gullible wally. :-(

Lore - perhaps they forgot the actual veggie burger component. Did nobody question it?

Fluffy - I'm never going to eat again !!!

[MWB]

I don't go to "posh" restaurants anymore as the servings are too small.

I was always still hungry after eating in one.

Food mostly lovely, just not enough. And expensive of course.

[mccfluff]

ahhh don't worry bout it rinkins, i've fallen for far far worse!

i hate overcooked veg as well, esp those places where the food it left out all day under heat lamps eughhhhhhhh

[mccfluff]

*set the scene - i've just been reading that snopes thing and even though its not real its made me feel a bit queasy so being sensible*......

i got my lunch out and bit into my sandwhich , looked down and i realised i've got chicken and sweetcorn

[NoMercy]

Was there a cyst in the sarnie, fluffy?
