Pintrest cooking fuck ups - come share!

The dinner I’ve just I’ve just presented to my family was horrible!

I’d had inspo of pintrest looking for low carb meals. Roast radishes are supposed to taste like potatoes and I thought they’d go nice with roast brussel sprouts and bacon (but I didn’t have any bacon)

So I put them in a roasting pan with onions and chicken thigh, sprinkled Thyme and garlic granules and sprayed liberally with fry light.

When I pulled it out of the oven I started laughing. I put it in the table and called the family over and dh was already pulling his fave sniffing the air repeatedly saying ‘what is it? as he was walking over.

There was a moments silence as every one took in my culinary fuck up. Dd2 said ‘is that chicken?’ Dh said ‘that looks horrible love’ .

Not to lose face I scooped a load up and and tucked in.

It was god awful. The texture was rank and everything tasted of garlic stewed brussel sprouts. I couldn’t even swallow it. It smelled ^horrible*.

After much merriment and rubbing of my entire family we binned the lot and has a chippy.

Share your cooking fuck ups!

P.s roasted horseradishes do not taste like fucking roasted spuds inside were like zits 🤮🤮🤮

Roast vegetable pie .... truly as bad as it sounds. Think we found a couple of quid and got a fish supper from the chippie to share instead. !

Chippy always saves the day!

Gotta love a fish supper!! Mmmmm

I remember there was a lot of sprouts and carrots involved......! In my defence I was trying to feed us on a budget of £20 a week for all food and other shopping including buying pet food!! We were slim......!

If we had eaten it.... I think we would have farted enough to make our own heating... !

End of the month curry... random veg (including sprouts and carrots) and some chicken bits and basic curry powder.
Looked like sick. Smelled like sick. Binned it! Grin

No specific fails, just lots of underwhelming recipes. Like the other night I made a jalapeno popper chicken casserole that looked so delicious in the pictures but was like death by cream cheese, and I followed the recipe to a T.

DH now makes a bit of a face when I say I'm cooking something that looked nice on Pinterest!

Tonight fajitas with low carb wraps. Made enough mix to make 6 wraps. Only they kept sticking! Ended up with 2 semi cooked stodgy things with beef and peppers.

A lot of low carb disasters lately. Keto dumplings that promptly dissolved into the stew (next time I'll cook and serve separately). Banana 'bread' that refused to cook in the middle. Will make into muffins next time.
