30 Times People Hilariously Failed In The Kitchen, As Shared In This Online Group

I made a cheese enchiladas with kimchi as a filling, with a Thai plasamrot sauce as a gravy. I thought it is gourmet a la espana y oriental masterpiece, but it turned to be so awful.😅

In college, I was just starting to really cook on my own.

I have always been an adventurous eater and food lover, but hadn’t really made anything beyond basic dishes to that point. I had a summer internship that left me with some extra cash on hand, so I figured every once in a while I’d experiment a bit.

One Sunday, I decided to make a mussels in a red curry coconut broth.

I spent all day making homemade fish stock, adding lime leaves, ginger, lemongrass, etc. and making this amazing red curry broth. The mussels were cooked perfectly and I served it all on top of some rice noodles.

My roommates and I feasted and there was a good half pot of broth left over that would make excellent quick lunches for the week.

In an effort to save space, I tossed the left over rice noodles in the broth and put it all away in the fridge.

When I went to heat it up for lunch the next day, the noodles had soaked up every bit of broth. The pot was almost completely dry, and the noodles were decently flavorful but nowhere near the taste or texture they were the day before.

Keep starch away from any sauces or soups when storing them - that was a painful lesson.

I was on some pain relief that was very high in codeine and whilst being extremely drowsy, I had the brilliant idea to make myself a baguette with a hot dog and Nutella. I don't even normally eat meat...

My stomach joined the kidneys in the pain party after that.

Edit: I also buttered the baguette before putting on Nutella

I made a huge stock pot of gumbo based on a recipe I found on Instagram. It was my first time making gumbo. It was so disgusting that I had to throw out a whole stock pot full of soup out. Lesson learned- don’t use Instagram recipes and make small quantities of recipes I am unfamiliar with

Thought I could skip using most of the flour in a mug brownie recipe, got chocolate eggs instead. 🤢

I was supposed to make a turkey for Thanksgiving, so I just did a turkey breast as it was a small get together. I misread the directions or miscalculated the time (thanks, ADHD) so we were screwed and I couldn't make it before we had to drive 40 minutes there. I go to the deli and get some turkey breast sliced thick and heat it up in the oven. I swore I chose turkey at this damn deli, but we get to the gathering and everyone is eating it and saying it tastes a lot like ham. This was also the first time my boyfriend was meeting my family. It was pretty hilarious. My sister later found the wrapping/receipt in the top of the trash and it was for sure ham.

When I was about 11 or 12, I tried making ragù alla bolognese for the first time. My dad refused to buy me white wine for it. I figured balsamic vinegar would make an okay substitute. Both made from fermented grapes, right? Wrong.

Do you know that if you put purple cabbage into eggs, like in a frittata, the eggs near the cabbage go green? It is not an appetising look.

Coconut tilapia in an air fryer. Might have been ok in oil, but it came out looking like a melted pile of wax adorned with 200 burnt candle wicks and tasted about the same. Not even my blood alcohol content at that time could influence my perception of edibility of this monstrosity. Threw it in the trash and opted to crush a bag of chips for dinner instead.

The mushroom ice cream I made...that was a mistake. I used mushroom powder, cardamom, and ginger, I thought it would be amazing but it was not.
