What is the worst so-called vegetarian or vegan meal you have ever had?

Question

I went out for an xmas meal and the vegetarian option was tiny crepes with a very bland white sauce and two strips of pepper in each. (The whole thing was badly organised and shoddy, though.)

Thumbs down to those unhelpful answerers who brought meat into it!!!

Joyce, I whole heartledly agree with you!! They must have has lemongrass in that soup!!! I love the taste of lemons but Lemon grass which they put in a lot of thai dishes taste like lemon dishwater or lemon detergent to me. It smells good, but there is some thing that I REALLY dislike about the taste!

Answer 1

I have a couple. My nan is always hiding meat in my mashed potato and recently i found out the gravy she had told me was vegetarian was actually chicken stock!

I was once served chicken and told it was quorn. I didn't eat it because i knew it wasn't from the shape of it. I ended up getting a free meal.

The worst i've had tho, which was actually just a useless veggie meal, was stuffed aubergines. it looked like they'd opened a can of ratatouille, shoved it in in an aubergine which hadn't been hollowed out, and shoved it in a too hot oven until the edges were burnt and the inside was still freezing! yum!

I can't wait to see what i get served up this year because now i'm not only vegetarian but gluten intolerant so i can't have the usual pasty/crepes they fob us off with!!!!

Also doesn't it annoy you when you get your meal and they go no sorry you can't have the roast potatoes, they were cooked with the meat! they knew they had veggies coming but still didnt bother to supply spuds! argh!

Answer 2

I'm with the person who mentioned the vegetable jello slop. The lime jello gunk that I was served had grated carrots and peppers in it, along with whipping cream. Talk about a combination of ingredients that do NOT play well together.

The second worse vegetarian selection (I won't dignify it by calling it "food") I ever ate was some kind of undercooked brown rice casserole loaded down with cheese and alfalfa sprouts.

There was just so much so wrong with that whole thing, I don't even know where to begin.

Answer 3

I couldn't tell you how many times I had similr experiences. I turned vegetarian through choice when I was 7. Most people I went to dinner with would either serve me the same as them (having fished the meat out), or, as you say, some bland, uninteresting white goo, supposedly a sauce on pasta. However my friend is vegan & she's had it even worse!! B'T'W, have you noticed how most pre-packed veggy foods have overcompensated for the meat with salt? Or is that just pre-packed anything ready made?

Answer 4

I remember one time I brought these supposedly-veggie dumplings from the supermarket. I cooked them and, after eating a few, found out they had bits of chicken in them that they didn't mention on the label. The bits of chicken were so little that anyone could miss them, and I felt really bad after eating them. I threw them away.

Another time I got something from Taco Bell and made sure to tell them not to put meat on my food. I took a bite, got a slightly bad taste in my mouth, and, for some reason, felt guilty. I opened my food and saw a bounty-full of chicken on it. I felt like throwing up, but I didn't. I threw it away.

I feel so bad when I make slip-ups like that, and no one understands it because I'm the only vegetarian in my family. My friend claims to be a vegetarian, but she still eats poultry and fish, so I don't think she would really understand either.

Answer 5

When I was in Spain a couple years ago I couldn't eat much of anything. We were in a non-touristy little island and the locals just weren't used to vegetarians! I literally ate nothing but Spanish omelette, bread and salad for an entire week. There wasn't even a pizzeria, which is the usual fall-back option when you're abroad!

Answer 7

A thai soup that tasted exactly as I would expect lemon scented dishwater to taste. I had to give it back. Even my husband couldn't stand it.

Answer 8

A former colleague went to his girlfriend's mum's house for Christmas dinner. Being of an older generation and not having a clue what veggies eat, she offered him a packet Vesta curry - surely the most vile thing known to man or woman or any food persuasion! The thought of his face when he saw his delicious meal still makes me laugh.

Answer 9

I can't remember where it was, but I was once served some kind of cardboard that was passing itself off as a nut cutlet! absolute YUK. I'm not a vegetarian but sometimes like the option especially when dining out and I dont like the look of their so called meat dishes.

Answer 10

Once upon a time...
There was a young girl (me) who was at a vegetarian potluck meal (where everybody comes together and shares different dishes that they brought) and she saw some wonderful looking jello looking stuff... it appeared to be lime flavored with some fruit zest... So she took a scoopful and began to eat it... she immediately started heaving up the last of her meal... alas. It was not to be.... It turned out it was some sort of vegetable jello... ewwww!!!
