I think that people have gone one of two ways during the pandemic when it comes to cooking.
They either embraced it and decided to improve their skills in the kitchen, or they’ve been relying on takeout for the past year.
The people who posted the photos below…well, maybe they should have stuck with takeout, because these are not the prettiest dishes I’ve ever laid my eyes on…
Let’s take a look at some cooking fails that might make you shriek…
1. More like a Christmas blob.
Well, you gave it a shot.

Consider yourself warned.

Be careful with that thing!

5. I don’t even know what to say about this.
I’d still probably eat it, though…
A fragrant, tomato bisque. Accented with aged, cheddar croutons.

6. This is very sad.
And this is your brain on drugs.
7. Put that thing out of its misery.
It’s enough to make a person cry…
My wife made a dragon cake for her mother’s birthday…

8. Are you sure those are what you say they are?
And are you sure that they “tasted divine?”
My Dad said he’d made macarons. Expectation vs reality. Still tasted divine though!

9. A truly horrifying monster.
Get that thing out of your house!
