What is the worst food you ever made?

[NotQuiteCockney]

Mine: banana guacomole. When I was first making guacomole, before I'd learned that you always open the avocadoes first, to be sure they're usable, I'd prepped up everything, got ready to add avos, and they were rock hard.

So I tried subsituting banana. On the basis that bananas are a bit like avocadoes. (They are high cal, and ripen off the vine.)

It was gross.

we invited friends round to dinner for the first time and i decided to stick with a firm family favourite of fisherman's pie - shame that I unknowingly bought salted cod!! it was so disgusting, none of us could eat it.

when my brother and I were little we wanted to make a treat for our favourite babysitter. I can't remember how old we were but we encouraged her to drink a pint of milk mixed with ribena and lemonade... I do remember that it seemed to curdle though

We were having a vegetarian phase (do I have to say anything more?) and I made a spinach and lentil pie - it looked lovely in the recipe book...

The OH, who, God love him, is an undiscerning eater, managed to choke down about 3 mouthfuls before looking mournfully at me and saying 'oh, I'm sorry, I just can't...'

But he has made me chocolate orange mousse with bloody great shards of orange peel in it instead of just the zest, so I think we're even!

lol at this thread.

Bloody hilarious

I so needed a laugh.

I have had 2 disasters. One was about 2 yrs ago when i cooked for my x. I thought i would plan a romantic meal so for pudding i made panacota with a biscuit base in an individual dish but i forgot to add butter to the biscuits to help them set so all the i think they were ginger biscuits rose to all through the dish and it was pretty gross but he ate it.

The other time was when i was about 7, my sister had gone to a friends house so mum sort of left me in charge of the dinner which was my fav - mince with onions and herbs and pasta. She said 'go and stick a big handful of herbs and stick it in the mince' i grabbed the jar of cinamon and stuck in the whole jar!!! Mum bless her tried to eat it as did i but it was disgusting. I still hate cinamon 21 yrs on. She has never let me forget.

Spagbol using frozen turkey mince on one of my many health fads. Aromatic catfood.

My mum once served us a stew using tulip and daffodil bulbs instead of shallots. Ended up with sister vomiting in the garden, and whole family going to Guildford hospital for charcoal treatment where you eat charcoal to stop digestion Poor mum had put Grandad's flower bulbs in the pantry next to the shallots. We've never let her forget it.

Audrey Hepburn developed anorexia partly due to living off tulip bulbs whilst in hiding during the war.

Not me but a close friend.....

She made french onion soup for a starter and as we started to eat it she said "its so easy to make, just make up some gravy with gravy granules and add some sliced onions and simmer for a while"

She could have just about got away with it before telling us that!

This thread is SO funny

Someone I know is in hospital after eating tulip bulbs. The doc says she'll be out in the spring....

Boom boom

Or should that be bloom bloom.

My brother had to make a cheesecake for economics. The idea was to buy the ingredients yourself and then make it. he made it with cheddar cheese and boy was that interesting. Not as interesting as the time he made a lasagne which probably was nice until he swung his bag around the whole way home! oh the mess!

I made a satay stirfry with chicken once. Spent ages chopping and stirfrying vegetables etc, added the sauce and cooked through, did a taste test near the end and nearly threw up! It was vile... My dp (later Dh and later ex DH) came to investigate and we decided to wash the vegetables and chicken and add another sauce... we were young and stupid... so we did this, added a red wine cook in sauce and found that BLEURGH!!! it was even worse than before... we added everything we could find in the house to put it right... bot nowt on earth was saving this meal... off we trooped to MacDonalds instead!

Oh the shame!

And then there is the trout and fennel dish made without the fennel... at least I discovered I don't like trout so that was worth 3 weeks of cooking and a weekly salary!
