but it was on the Celebrity Xpedition. It was some sort of skewered grilled beef, but it tasted like they didn't wait for the charcoal lighter fluid to burn off before they started cooking them. Horrible, horrible petrochemical taste....
None of the passengers complained, though. We were in the Galapagos and you don't get a lot of beef there. The chef was very proud of the dish, and no one had the heart to complain. The maitre d' noticed that no one was eating the food and started asking the passengers if something was wrong. Most people insisted "no, no, everything's fine! I'm just not as hungry as I thought", and so on. Finally someone broke down and told him, very apologetically, what the problem was.
I think this is more along the lines of kitchen mishap rather than genuinely bad food, though. It's more like someone knocking a box of salt in to the soup.
Worst food item you tasted on a cruise??
