Its clear that many of the ladies here are wonderful and creative chefs. Im not. So, I started thinking about times where things didnt go quite so well
In particular theres one meal from about 20 years ago that still sticks in my mind. In an attempt to be creative with some fish that had been thawed and needed to be cooked, my starter-DH decided that fish spaghetti would work .seemed sort of a reasonable idea since we were young and I was less wise than I am now. (Im at least wise enough to know that I should not ever, ever be part of experiments that involve attempting to be creative with food).
So, the first inkling that there might be something wrong was when we started cooking the fish .it was just a teensy bit strong. But we soldiered on bravely .hoping that enough garlic and tomato sauce would take care of that. Yep, that was the second mistake. Traditional spaghetti sauce with fish as a base
But, ever optimistic, we hoped it would cook down. To what I dont know But by this time wed gone too far to back out. We boiled some spaghetti, made garlic bread and set the table. Then it was time. We ladled the sauce onto the spaghetti .we each bravely tried a bite.
It was horrendous. Even the dog wouldnt eat it. We ended up having to throw away the pan it was cooked it. Who knew that stuff would permeate Teflon. 
Tell us about worst or strangest meal that youve ever had, or your best menu experiment
