Thought it would be nice to share our embarrassing stories where our culinary skills failed us...

I love cheese but it still needs to be sort of fresh. Things like Blue Cheese makes me nauseated. But many moons ago my wife gotten hold of a lot of Blue Cheese, I think a client of theirs gave it away. It was sitting in the fridge stinking up the place for a few days. It was my turn to cook and I thought, maybe this cheese will work in a sauce for the pasta? I thought maybe melting it would change the texture, taste and smell... It didn't. Suffice to say, it enhanced that delicious odour of unwashed feet! And was immediately fed to the trash bin! :sick::ROFL:
 
One that comes to mind was adding a teaspoon of Pecks Anchovet to my pasta by far the most vile thing I've ever tasted in my life.

I have plenty of stories but nothing is coming to mind right now.

I had pork chops under the grill once while myself & the kids played Minecraft, got so busy forgot the food in the oven and the meat came out hard as stone.
I kid you not you could break a tile with it, whenever I make pork now the kids say just not as well done as that time lol.

A friend made sweet beans, like in sweet carrots but with green beans. To this day he hates my guts for pleading with him to never try that combo again.

Also I just made short ribs in my new instant pot and it came out a bit liquidy, does that count?
 
I wanted to boil eggs..

Got busy with something in the house and clean forgot about the eggs on the stove and ended up on the couch watching tv.

Next minute a hell of a noise in the kitchen and I run to go and check.

The water in the pot boiled away and then the eggs exploded... everywhere. And as I'm cleaning it my wife sends pics to everyone saying that I'm the only one she knows that can fck up a boiled egg

I blew up a poached egg in the microwave
 
Not my f-up, but when we were still dating, wife number one came to my house, and I had to pop out to a meeting. She decided to boil some mielies. Managed to boil the pot dry and burn em. I mean like the cliche, all she was doing was boiling water and ****ed it up.
 
Was making sweetmeats once and added the requisite amount of icing sugar.
SO knows I never tasting anything so he snuck a taste while I was busy.
Turns out the store had labelled bicarb as icing sugar :sick:

i did the same, the shockwave inside blew the light bulb out. I had to dismantle the microwave oven to get to the light globe and found fresh scrambled egg on the circuit board everywhere inside :ROFL:

Lady friend visited and i asked her to boil rice. (She always braggs about some chef school she attended).
My brand new pot is still black at the bottom after she charcoaled the rice.
 
Small "disaster": Cooked sweet carrots in margarine......ffs. Please use real butter.
 
Back in the UK one of my housemates was cooking rice and forgot about it, the water boiled away and the rice burned. Have smelt a fair amount of burnt food smells but the black smoke that came off that was the vilest thing that I've ever had the misfortune to smell.
