Worst grub you've had out?

Robsweezie · 29-12-2016 01:20AM #1

Has to be a recent sandwich in a cafe/cake shop. it was a toasted ham sandwich, the ham was tasteless, and the ''butter'' tasted like i dont even know how to describe...awful doesn't cover it. I'm not even sure what the worst part was, the ham, the butter, or tomatoes, it was just an explosion of awful fuuckery. Shame as the staff were nice. how I finished it I do not know.

though not the worst, chicken wings in the pub werent all that excellent either. they were like a glorified side order from Dominos and wouldve cost less from there too. Twas only pub grub though.

another low-light was one of those share platters from the chinese takeaway - onion rings, chicken strips, chicken balls, tons of chips. They just buffed it up with more chips than anything else to make it look worth the price. Tons of wasted chips.

Salmon with chocolate sauce one time in Galway. The place isn't open anymore.

Paddytheman · 29-12-2016 01:24AM

Really don't get it man, how can you not get a good hang sandwich or some deep fried food these days. I mean it's not like you're shooting for the top of the gastronomic pyramid here.... Disgraceful

Probably not the worst, but yesterday we took the wee girl to a new kids entertainment place that had an American style restaurant attached. Wasn't hugely hungry so order a mex taco chip. Chips had been cooked, let go cold and then reheated in the fryer, so rock hard without looking fully burnt.
Can't understand how a chef can do that and think it's OK to serve such crap food.

Went out for a romantic meal with Mrs.Osis for Valentines.

I ordered the Rack of Lamb.

What I got was some bones with a ball of fat balanced on top of them surrounded by raw fcukin chips.

Still,ended up drinking loads of wine and got the ride so wasn't too bad a result.

A chickens foot in Taipei. There was worse available.

Charred scorpion from a street dealer at 3am in Bangkok. I got sick within seconds of biting it

Its so hard to find a place that does good fùckin scorpion these days.

Spicy cabbage eaten while drunk in some Chinese in Barcelona. Raw chunks of white cabbage with chilli sauce all over. I was mugged off that night.

Those scorpions are lovely , like crunchy chips with some flavour. You think you got a bad one or just hate the idea?
And chicken feet aren't that bad either if they're cooked right. They're my girlfriend's snack food so I end up eating them a bit.

My worst was a big worm with a salty grey sauce in the Philippines. I can find something to like in everything but that really was just shít and saltwater.

Captain America in Grafton Street. Quite simply the worst meal I've ever had and I have very low standards when it comes to food.

I had "Michelin star" chicken feet in Hong Kong. Rotten stuff, was like trying to eat glue.

Witherspoons in Belfast. Had a Philly Cheese Steak and it was ****in manky. To be expected though.

Seven Euros worth of chicken feet my girlfriend just had delivered a few minutes ago.

Different strokes.

Some roll from Subway. I don't know how that place became popular. It's horrible.

Outlaw Pete · 29-12-2016 11:42AM

That 10,000 buffet place on Abbey St.

I know I was hardly to expect 5 star cuisine but bloody dreadful stuff on every level: taste, quality, staleness, greasyness etc.

Spicy Bite downstairs in Moore St mall is a decent buffet though. Jimmy Chung's too but much more expensive.

Yours, thebuffetconnoisseur.

Sure I'd have thought the look of that place would have tipped you off it was horrible

I got a lasagne in Lamb Doyle's years ago and when I bit into it I got an almighty taste of mould.

Yock.

Jellyfish in a restaurant in Singapore. Still gagging at the thought.

team_actimel · 29-12-2016 12:27PM

TGI Friday's. Ate there once, never again. Ordered bruschetta which was the worst one I've ever had.

Parchment · 29-12-2016 12:32PM

Some type of pastry from Greggs in Scotland. Threw it to the birds - they wouldnt even eat it.

I second this,

absolute crap, they hang off the jack daniels sauce, if they didnt have that people wouldnt go

A couple of years ago I ordered a veggie burger at a UK restaurant in Spain. What appeared on my plate can only be described as sludge. It was puréed veg stuck between 2 buns oozing out. Wasn't near solid at all.

MilesMorales1 · 29-12-2016 01:11PM

Eddie Rocket's in swords is pretty dire.

cbreeze · 29-12-2016 01:25PM

'Blue' on Harbour Road, Skerries: while the food is generally just below the average, i.e. stale fish, completely overdone burgers served cold, the' take it or leave it' service is probably the worst in North County Dublin. We were kept waiting over an hour from when the mains were cleared away for afters to be delivered. We would have walked out only it was a family birthday which was completely spoiled. We have never been back, and always warn our friends to keep well clear. :mad:

My Mother in laws dinners. All of them.

boardsuser1 · 29-12-2016 01:43PM

Pub Grub in a Kenmare pub (can't remember name, but it was on a corner on the main street) in 2000.

Yamanoto · 29-12-2016 01:50PM

A slimy lettuce and pig fat sambo from Lanigan's on Arran Quay was pretty bad.

They served up a toasted sandwich with an anemic looking rasher that must have seen a grill for all of 55 seconds, with the fat still in a jellyish state. The thing had also been put into a sandwich maker with lettuce inside it, which had essentially steamed the whole sorry mess. Waitress was none too pleased when I pointed out the 'crispy bacon' alluded to on the menu was nowhere in sight. You have to work hard to get a toastie so badly wrong, but they hit it out of the park that day.

Some restaurant in Fuengirola on New Years Eve. Lukewarm soup, lukewarm potatoes, no sauce with steak, manager didn't give a shyte, he wanted to rush us out the door so he could seat some of the people queuing outside. So we stayed and drank two more bottles of house wine instead, until the ones queuing up went somewhere else. We did them a favour anyway. :cool:

Sam Kade · 29-12-2016 01:59PM

Abbeyleix around 8 years back it was a former pub in the square that lost it's licence and he carried on serving dinners.

Worst grub you've had out?
