Two nightmares I have experienced:
1. A pizza in Paris (” Did they just plop an egg on that?”)
2. A lasagna in Landstuhl (Germany)

The egg thing really surprised me also. Have to learn to order one without the egg.

“A pizza in Paris (” Did they just plop an egg on that?”)”

We experienced that in Belgium - we had to slide it off, scrape, dap with a napkin, and then procede. We learned to read the menu more carefully after that; pizza + œuf is bad.

You can add:
(3) A taco in Eldorado (pronounced Eldoraaado) Arkansas. Even the tortillas were canned.

On a different note, we used to get pretty decent hard tacos just outside Futenma MCAS on Okinawa.

I’m a Texan and bought what from the picture should have been a simple Tex-Mex, folded crisp taco in Kansas City, MO. around 1974.

I forget the other details, but the cheese was American, and the ‘hot sauce’ was ordinary ketchup.

I was also shocked to eat Chili con carne on spaghetti in Kansas City, not too bad by the way.

The taco is as memorable as a hot dog I bought in rural France, the colors and parts were there, a bun, a wiener looking thing, and a mustard of a sort, but it was all totally foreign from an American hot dog.
