Unappealing meals that you have made

I'd say my cooking skills are variable. I can turn out decent food but occasionally make a totally dud meal.
Today's was broccoli and potato soup, inspired by the need to use up some lingering broccoli.
Well it was watery and uninteresting, has made the house stink of brassica and nobody finished their bowl, even though I seasoned it well and used good stock and added some parmesan on top. Just boring dishwater.
Make me feel better please, what have been your duds lately?

A vegetable crumble when i first met my husband, so about 30 years ago. Simultaneously dry and soggy. My cooking has got a bit better, but a couple of years ago i made chicken and vegetable soup that looked like sick, complete with carrot bits 🤮🤮🤮

A sausage and mustard casserole I found on insta. Very disappointing.
