What's the worst food mistake you've made?

Army Rations
Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, 3xSugars, Veggie Stock & Soup drink sachets all mixed in to a half litre cup.
Actually tasted alright (apart from being very, very sweet). Mind, the bits of sweetcorn floating in it did put me off for a while...:)

You didn't fancy putting the orange/lemon water mix into it? :p

However an even worse taste = one headache addled afternoon with an ibuprofen on standby... mind wandered and I began to chew the ibuprofen, I can't even describe how devastatingly awful it tastes, stomach churning even thinking about it :(

Clarithromycin

Try tasting that rather than instantly swallowing it, i dare you! It's without a shadow of a doubt the worst taste i've ever had in my mouth, i'd probably rather put rabbit droppings in my mouth than have to taste it again.

The jacket potato i tried to cook on the camp fire at reading a few years back that could have done with another half hour or so to bake.

sorry for the off-topicness, but are you from reading? im at reading uni right now

as for cooking disasters, i usually stay clear from the kitchen, because i know its a disaster waiting to happen.

think the worst ive done is mistaken tablespoon for teaspoon. when it said 1/2 a teaspoon of tabasco and i put in a generous 1/2 a tablespoon, it was pretty damned spicy, especially since spicy stuff and me really dont mix
 
Me: Putting the same amount of cocoa powder in as the recipe suggested milk chocolate because I didn't have any chocolate....:(

Not me (sisters): Mistaking teaspoons for tablespoons. Doesn't sound much, until you follow the recipe and put 3 "tablespoons" of mustard into a Mustard bread mix... They didn't eat much of it.:p
 
first of sorry for your loss tank, i was reading about it in another thread but i didn't know she had died :(

worst: coke and cornflakes, seen some french kid do it on t.v :D
best: oven chips+microwave bit greasy but they taste good and only takes 3 mins and dosn't cause and side/after effects :p

Awww man i've been there, it really it a truly truly awful feeling isn't it?

Last year when i was super-skint, I had literally zero monies available, and all i had left foodwise was Spaghetti, eight cans of Tuna, a Jar of mayo and a bottle of tesco-finest basil-infused olive-oil

was actually surprisingly delicious. did get boring after the sixth day in a row though...
 
I was in Vegas and had waited an age for my breakfast/room service to turn up. I'd ordered enough food to last me all day, including a stack of pancakes and tea.

When it arrived and I started tucking into everything, I found the jar of syrup for the pancakes but was pretty annoyed to see they'd forgotten the tea. Anyway, as I went to pour the syrup on I remember think "this syrup is really watery...". I then proceeded to empty the contents of the syrup jar all over my pancakes, only to very quickly realise I'd emptied a small pot of tea instead...

I was so hungover and hungry that I ate it all... Tasted horrible and had my mates in stitches.
 
Cornflakes and Hot sauce :\

Was after a thread on here were some dude made chicken with hot sauce and I said I only had cornflakes and hot sauce, maybe they were frosties! Of course it was suggested I tried it and to look big infront of you guys, I did. I put a video of me trying to eat them and obviously it wasn't great.

Video is gone now though!
 
When he was younger my brother wanted to make warm blackcurrent juice so instead of adding the hot water from the kettle to some blackcurrent squash, he added the squash to the water in the kettle and turned it on!
