Worst culinary atrocity you've ever witnessed witnessed or taken part in?

>Be taking a culinary 1-2 class back in high school
>Little cooking experience
>Get put in small groups to make basic recipes
>Someone immediately grabs the ingredient list and begins rattling stuff off for the rest of us to fetch
>Tells me the recipe calls for 2 cups of cream of tartar
>"Two cups? Are you sure? The box isn't that big..."
>"YEAH that's what I said"
>She pours it in the dry mix
>The deed is done
>Cookies come out of oven, look and smell relatively appetizing
>Once they've cooled enough, one of our partners decides to taste them
>"Hey these are really good!"
>After chewing on the tartar doodle for three seconds his faces sponteneously contorts
>In a second he goes from smiling to violently retching and runs to the sink to rinse his mouth and dry heave
>Teacher is surprised and decides to try one
>Begins saying that there is nothing wrong with the cookie but stops to spit it out mid-sentence
>decide to try one for myself
>Cookie is actually pretty tasty
>After a few moments it hits me like a slap on the tongue
>Like someone poured Lysol directly in my mouth
>6 people try them
>Teacher eventually forces us us throw them away
>No one ever figures out or speaks up about what happened
To this day only the person who read the ingredients for our group, a friend who tasted one, and myself know the truth.

All those puddings are in the warehouse now waiting for distribution. It's more than my jobs worth to tell management that they need to destroy everything. And they probably won't anyway.

Fucking beta males.

You should probably go straight to the FBI with this, my dude.
If 10k people all of a sudden end up dead come December 28th, you're probably going to feel shitty.

Made a sandwich with:
>Dry rye bread
>Raw carrots, sliced
>Green part of leek (raw)
>Vinegar
I was 8 or 9 I think, and had no idea how to make a sandwich. I still remember the taste.

I once attempted cooking and enjoyed it.
I nipped that in the bud real quick.

Ummmh, what the fuck? Actually, what the fuck? I hope you are only joking here and have just made this up. If you have actually observed this you ought to tell the police, immediately. Don't leave it to the factory bosses either. This is seriously worrying shit.

It's funny I did exactly the same thing at school but instead of cream of tartar I put bycarbonate of soda, the label said baking soda and I just assumed they were the same thing lmao

Protip: NEVER trust anyone who doesn't bother to taste what they cook.

And user, you kind of deserved that for not keeping an eye on her in the kitchen after months of experience with her incompetence.

I would say this is inappropriate use of this image because it implies an extreme lack of care or effort on the part of the poster it's responding to, and this is a medium length greentext with a central idea he had to think about and try to make sound realistic. There are other fish images that would be better suited as a response, this one should only be used when someone posts something unintelligible and/or the central point is some kind of lazy reference to a particular group's sexual prowess or penis size

Americans are well known for their Christmas puddings.

>>bitch agrees
why is this so funny

I'm American and my mom always taught me to use a knife with my right hand. Maybe they were all lefties.

You sound like a dumbass tbqhwy famalam

Chill, I made it up.

Most Americans these days are lefties. About 3 million more lefties than righties according to the latest poll.

TOM'S WONDERFUL CHEESEBOIGAHS AN' FRIEZ RECIPE:
1. Make hockey puck-shaped mound of ground meat, no seasoning or binders needed
2. Leave them in a hot pan until it begins to char
3. Remove disc of charred flesh from pan, put it between wilting lettuce and mushy tomato slice
4. Place the result of 3 between wonderbread slices, open sandwich, place 2 squares of edible orange plastic atop charcoal discus, put it aside
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until all the ground meat is gone
6. Fill small frying pan with cooking oil
7. Dishonor potatoes by cutting them like a fucking fish finger
8. Honor thy Lord and Savior Jack Scalfani by throwing potato fingers at barely-simmering oil and removing them as soon as they begin to gain some color
9. Dump too much salt on the profane pile of oil and potato

>Eats that whole pile of shit in 15 minutes with a shit-eating grin

The worst part was hearing the nearly-raw potato fingers, snapping like fresh apples.

Aunt and Uncle like to fix big thanksgiving meal. They decided to split the labor where one of them did all the work to cook the ham and the other one cooked the turkey.

My Uncle completed an absolutely perfect candied ham.
My Aunt never removed the clear plastic covering on the Turkey before baking. An entirely ruined monstrosity of basted-plastic melted onto the Turkey.

They finalized a divorce within a year.

Jesus Christ what is it with half the restaurants on this planet skimping on making their risotto and thinking it tastes just fine

>Candied ham

MUURICA!
How do you candy a ham? Just cover it in sugar?

indeed. brown rice in 15 minutes is an achievement.

it's really not that different from honey glazed ham or whatever. google it. it's designed to contrast a sweet textured exterior with the salty ham goodness interior. Objectively, it's probably the best pork delivery this side of BBQ. Even for Americans the cost of ingredients is expensive(and traditionally even more so with its call for things like pineapple) that it's reserved for holidays.

It's usually called glazed ham. And yes, you use brown sugar and pineapple. It looks like pic related. It's also not that weird, (at least in my opinion) plenty of pork is served with a sweet sauce.

It's just etiquette.

I had that same experience except the pizza landed on my hand, I ended up getting second degree burns all over my fingers. Later that night I got run over by a car as I was leaving Walgreens with my newly aquired burn relief spray. Not a fun night.

Man... im a misogynist but... she was literally doing her job in the kitchen.

Poor girl. She really probably just wanted to make you giys happy.

Man thats fucked up. Now i get why women dont serve us any more. Cuz fuckers like you make cooking a terroble experience. Its a woman, she doenst have a mans brain, you have to be treat them like children and be kind.

Fuck you guys are dicks.

Just aknowledge she has a lady brain and help her cook sometime.

Dude... whats wrong with you. He is a productive member of society.

When I was pretty young I made kraft mac and cheese by myself for the first time. I started by boiling the noodles in sprite. When I added the splash of milk to make the cheese creamy I used chocolate milk. Then I ate it with plastic chopsticks. I dont remember if I liked it but I finished it.

people that eat at fast food restaurants are the scum of society and deserve it

I thought Greek yogurt was disgusting because the first time I ate it, it was very expired. I didn't eat it for years after that because I thought it all tasted like that.

Is she ugly or something?

I wish there was some kinda website where we could put a bounty on you and your scum friends.

I thought vanilla and banana were the same flavor for too long.

Holy shit kek dude

Holy shit her cooking tasted so bad that it made you decide that a lifetime of tasting dick would be preferable. That's pretty fucking bad dude

Candied ham with pineapple and cherry is not bad. I do 2 hams for my family's Christmas get together. One I do with a bourbon, molasses, and brown sugar glaze. The other is done with habanero, root beer, and cocoa. They are both absolutely delicious and I never have leftovers.

Just like on Oregon Trail :^(
