ST. LOUIS — I was at an office shindig when a colleague happened to mention the worst food he has ever eaten (pizza with tuna and peas on it, at a pub in England). That got me thinking:
What is the worst food I have ever eaten?
What is the worst food you have ever eaten?
It’s a tough choice. The average person eats about 1,000 meals a year, more or less. Multiply that by your age, and it turns out you’ve had an awful lot of meals to choose from.
For me, it is quite possibly the pizzaburgers served in the Cincinnati Public Schools. They resembled neither a pizza nor a burger and could barely qualify as food. Half of a hamburger bun was topped with a substance that was probably meant to be ground beef, which in turn was covered with a tomato sauce that was somewhat less than ketchup, topped with a slice of something the approximate color of cheese.
