We’ve had very few really bad meals, this year, but the baddies have been horrid. Some of these dishes were offset by other elements of the dining experience which improved things overall, but some were symptomatic of total systemic failure. Here’s the list:

1. “Vegetable Balti” at Rupy’s Curry
Ghastly.

2. Curry Poutine Fries at Burger.
Horrid.

3. Egg and Ham Breakfast Muffin from Caffe Nero
Cardboard sadness.

4. Loaded Potato Skins at TGI Fridays
Powdery pish.

5. Falafel Salad Sandwich at Edinburgh Coffee Cake
Limply tearful.

6. Breakfast Box at Stop, Take Me Away With You
Flavour vacuum.

7. Mac n Cheese from TriBeCa
Woefully poor.

8. Cheeseburger from Five Guys
Unbelievably shite.

9. Cottage Pie at BHS
Dickensian slop.

10. Red Cabbage and Orange Salad from VDeep
Brutal chilli assault.
