My most horrible food mistake so far...

Shark.

I was in a fishmonger in Reading in 98 and I saw something that looked like tuna but was much paler.

It looked good and it was cheap.

It was cheap for a reason. It tasted like very fishy pork.

Ghastly.

I used to be a butcher and selling some tripe to a customer once, remarked I’d never tried it, she cooked it and brought me some in.
I agree with you, just don’t.

Just aload of tripe!

My wife loves liver. Years ago when we were first married I told her mum I'd better be off, I was cooking tea. Oh, what are you cooking? Liver. Barb won't eat liver. Yes, she will, I said. She couldn't resist nicking food off my plate, and I'd cook liver for myself and something else for her. After doing it a few times she decided she quite liked liver. Her mother used to braise it and it was slimy, I sliced it thinly and fried it in a minute or so.

When we were kids liver was served twice a week, the only way I could eat it was slathered in apple sauce.
