Terrible foodBack when I was a student, we had a "clear out the fridge" party. Everyone brought what they had left and the idea was to make a big meal out of it.
The stew/casserole/whatever was going surprisingly well until someone added the tin of mackerel in tomato sauce they'd been hoarding all year.
What's the worst thing you've ever cooked or eaten? Who's the worst cook you've encountered?
[and yes, we've asked this before, but way, way back before we had the fancy QOTW pages]

Ulcer CakesWhen I was about 8 I remember coming up with this fantastic idea, based on the following principles:
a. I had a mouth ulcer. It hurt lots.
b. My mother had told me that bicarbonate of soda "heals" mouth ulcers.
c. Bicarbonate of Soda tastes rank.
d. Cakes taste nice.
e. Cakes baked with Bicarbonate of Soda would both taste nice and heal mouth ulcers.
So I set about my task to bake my famous "Ulcer Cakes" which would be a revolution in Kids oral health, I would make fairy cakes and replace the baking powder for bicarbonate of soda, since they were both white powders to me they would be interchangable!
For added strength, I would double the amount of power used.
An hour later my mother removes the cakes from the oven and I anxiously try my miracle cure.
I take a cake, put it in my mouth and chew on it for a while, before realising that rather than tasting sweet as I had expected it to,
it did in fact taste like my mouth had come to the end of a rather long and intense vomiting session and was still covered in bile.
Didn't stop me from insisting that everybody else in the house try one,
I can still picture the grimaces on their faces to this day...
