Would you eat out of a Versace shoe? Discover the craziest fine dining dishes from around the world!

Most of us have been to at least somewhat fancy restaurants, be it for the culinary experience, a special occasion, or a romantic date.
We go in with high hopes of enjoying amazing food and delicious flavours because life is all about savouring the good moments, right?
But sometimes, these restaurants disappoint us by serving strange or weird dishes. Surprisingly, this happens more often than you'd think!
We've gathered some of the most ridiculous meals people have tried and shared on social media below.
The first of which is this bread posted by the Reddit user 'trublue4u22,' bizarrely served to someone in a Versace shoe.
In response, someone wrote, ‘It feels like a joke. This can’t be serious. Making a customer pick food out of a shoe feels like a king throwing coins to a jester and making the king laugh.’
Next in line, we have surimi (a paste made from fish or other meat) arranged atop a fragmented Pringle, as shared by ‘Ikigairamen’ on the ‘r/StupidFood’ subreddit.
‘Seen in a sushi restaurant in my city. I still cannot believe it,’ the user commented.
‘Wow, they even used a broken Pringle’ and ‘not even a complete crisp–-the nerve of this place,’ some people replied.
Another user was served two sushi pieces on a hat adorned with decorative leaves.
‘SuperJezus’ humorously remarked, ‘Sushi for M'Lady?’ leading someone to ask, ‘Do you get to keep the hat? Is it part of the meal deal?’
Others chimed in with ‘Hats off to this place’ and ‘This is the silliest thing I've seen in a while.’
Meanwhile, someone else had a rather scary experience when their dessert resembled a crime scene.
A Reddit user known as ‘pabloiswatchingyou’ shared an image of a red handprint with the caption, ‘A handful of raspberry sauce at a fancy restaurant’.
However, a restaurant employee joined the discussion to reassure everyone the food was hygienic: ‘We’ve done this in a restaurant I’ve worked in before; the cook's hand is always gloved and always a new one if it’s something like this.
‘Most likely done by the Pastry chef or dessert chef who isn’t normally working by any of the grease or other things (at least where I was). But I get where it would freak people a bit lol.’
Another Redditor, under the name ‘slicedmoonstone’ on the platform asked, ‘Wouldn't it be easier to barbecue them on the cob?’ after being served individual corn pieces on skewers.
Someone humorously replied, ‘This is the kind of stuff I'd have my kids do if they wanted to help with dinner but there was nothing for them to do.’
On social media, a user with the handle @supreetkay described her restaurant experience as ‘the most expensive joke ever’.
She shared a photo that seemed to be three tomato pieces on her plate, along with the comment, ‘They took “girl dinner” to another level.’
Another Reddit user, going by the name ‘mortiphago’ recounted ordering a salad at ‘the fanciest restaurant in town’. They shared an image of a sliced tomato and cheese pierced on a stick with a green substance.
Responses included, ‘Yeah, that deserves a refund right there’ and ‘That'll be $20’.
To add to that, a couple ‘accidentally went to a Michelin Star restaurant’ on their honeymoon in Ireland.
Reddit user ‘SoDakZak’ shared some photos of the experience, writing that they had: ‘Something, pea soup, scallop and bread, 1/7th of a cauliflower, some sort of meat, a light (I believe) lemon dessert, and a special chocolate cake dessert.’
However, regardless of the size and uniqueness of the presentation, the couple still found the food ‘incredible’.
Another food enthusiast expressed disappointment when their free birthday cake at a fancy restaurant turned out to be no bigger than a coin.
In the Reddit thread, they added that they ‘split it 6 ways’ which another user commented on, saying it was ‘even sadder’.
