An appetizer of fried fish skin in a restaurant in Hat Yai, in Thailand. (Of course, some of the best food I've ever had was also in Thailand). Runners-up: any liver ball soup in Germany. A fatty lamb stew in a tiny restaurant outside of Sandanski, Bulgaria.

Thyra, you've made me feel much less foolish! Venice: McChicken sandwich (yes, we were almost broke and had decided to stay longer in Venice and were trying to save $$$). A couple of hours later, sicker than a dog - had a doctor come visit the hotel in the middle of the night (very inexpensive, but so much for saving money). Never again! Chicken is now, between my travel companion and myself, the bird who's name shall not be spoken. It gives me pain just typing the word...

Ok Fodorites, consider yourselves warned!! Thats two for two! Avoid the McChicken in Vienna, unless you want to get really McSick!

This isn't a restaurant experience, but...I was visiting friends in Germany and carefully avoided the dried or smoked meat that they set on the breakfast table every morning, opting instead for the cheese and bread. They noticed and said that they wanted to cook me a real "American" breakfast, fried. They took very spicy Bavarian meat and fried it in about **2 inches** of cooking oil. A huge, greasy slab of deep fried meat was the result. I was touched and ate it, but it was a real struggle.

The worst meal I ever got was 14 years ago in Bucharest. It was the breakfast that came with the room. We were served slices of FAT and slices of raw salami looking stuff along with rolls so hard we could've played baseball with them. I passed.

Just wanted to say that we expected Lufthansa's meals to be really inedible. We just flew them from San Francisco-Frankfurt-Paris and then from Paris-Munich-San Francisco. In general, I have to say that the European legs of the journeys especially the ones from Paris to SFO, the meals were pretty good. My husband and I did have the special meal (seafood) and our son had a child's meal. The seafood meal was either salmon or salmon and shrimp. Other passengers had beef or pasta. Like I said we really expected a horrible meal experience, however, in comparison with other airlines, Lufthansa is very good in my opinion.

I got food poisoning on KLM. Enough said for their food which is not very good to begin with.

with out doubt, New York. Perhaps the most disturbing curry we have ever seen. Courses only differentiable by colour, quite by far the worst meal ever encountered!

Paul Rabe you ate in a Garfunkel's. Then you deserve all that you get you sad man!
