Whatever they put into '100%' minted lamb burgers. Surely pure minced lamb has no hard or gristly bits, right?

Worst top 3:
1. Vegemite (in Australia), tasted like rotten meat
2. Abalone, tasted like salt, texture of snot
3. 3am curries, just add to the hangovers

How dare these companies, with all their profits, make and sell this rubbish 'food' to us! They only make changes after major negative publicity. I literally shed tears when I saw what goes on.

Jellied Eels in Aspic in London, Vitello Tonnato (Veal in a Tuna Sauce) in Northern Italy, and Lutfisk in Norway.

A chicken kebab from Ibiza - I thought they must have left the bones in when I found something hard in it. It was not a bone!

A Microwavable twin pack doner kebab from a supermarket. Available at Tesco's. The bread was processed, the meat total S**t.
