Have you ever made dinner for yourself, that turned out so awfull you had to throw it out?
Done it a few times.
And couple of times, I just ate the damn thing though it tasted not-so-great.

I put homemade fries in the oven on my stainless steel baking sheets without greasing them first.
I was so disappointed in myself I didn't eat the rest of my food.
Good thing I have half a container left for a redemption arc.

Only once I remember. I was living in france moving from hostel to hostel because I had some issues with finding a place, and ate crêpes and sandwiches every evening in the street, and was generally starving since I was low on money and so I just bought enough. When I finally moved into a (tiny) apartment, I went to a grocery store and bought some canned mushrooms, eggs, and I think it was spinach to make some kind of omelette. I was excited I was gonna eat real food again. I don't what I did (certainly I didn't cook the mushrooms long enough) but the thing was hideous. I couldn't even finish half of it, despite having been eating badly for like a month. Into the trash it went.

I tried making orange chicken one time that was really bad for some reason. Couldn't even finish it, into the trash it went. Had to go to McDonald's in shame because that was the last of the food I had.

First time I cooked taco beef
>recipe used T and t instead of tbsp and tsp respectively
>assumed all were tablespoon for some reason
So I ended up with a recipe close to:
>1lb beef
>5 tbsp cumin
>3 tbsp chili powder
>1 tbsp salt
>1 tbsp pepper
>2 tbsp oregano
>2 tbsp paprika
>2 tbsp onion powder
>1 tbsp garlic powder
>2 tbsp cilantro
Absolutely disgusting

My first time making spaghetti carbonara I destroyed the sauce in final stage bc my pan with spaghetti and bacon in it was too hot and it turned into some kind of disgusting scrambled egg noodles dish. I could not bring myself to eat that, cringe every time I think about it.

Ruined a whole pot of split pea soup by not looking at the beer I grabbed out of the fridge, accidentally used my roommate's meme IPA and the whole fukken pot tasted like hops. Was pretty mad with myself.

Went to buy skirt steak for fajitas last week.
Oh here’s skirt steak already sliced and tenderized similar to cube steak.
After it cooks it has the texture of unbreaded boiled steak fingers.

Cussed myself out for buying stupid boomer meat and threw it right out. Didnt even let the wife try it.

I was trying out different mac n cheese recipes, and I saw a bleu cheese and bacon baked mac and cheese, I love bleu cheese and bacon, so
I tried it.

It was fucking disgusting, smelled awful as it was cooking, tasted even worse and made my breath smell terrible. I only was able to eat like half.

I made beef brisket once using barbecue dry rub from a packet. I slow cooked it in the oven cause I don't have a smoker and I don't know what went wrong but I legitimately couldn't put it in my mouth. It looked fine but the taste was so repugnant I legitimately couldn't bring myself to chew after the first bite. Had to throw it all out because it was simply inedible.
That's the only thing I can think of.

When I made crepes(or Russian bliny rather). Ideally I'd use a bit of melted butter in the batter but sometimes I just go with sunflower oil when I'm too lazy. Instead of either of the above I decided to use olive oil once and that shit was nasty. The olive oil smell and flavor was way too strong to a point where I couldn't eat more than two.

All the fucking time, except i never threw it out. The best way to learn is to suffer through your mistakes. Unless it was unsalvageable and actively harmful it was eaten. Great way to learn not to burn shit on a grill or to make something shitty from experimenting.

Few days ago i let some cubed chicken marinate in siracha, garlic, chili powder, and some pineapple. Looked like it was going to turn out great but as soon as i started browning it it formed a thick paste like biscuit dough. Texture was fucking awful. I guess i over tenderized the fuck out of the outside the chicken.

Live and learn...

You don't really need to tenderize chicken, and the enzymes in pinapple can fuck up proteins real hard.

I was making brownies for the first time. I lived in a college dorm and we had an old mini-oven where you could’t change the temperature. We made a couple of batches of pot cookies in it before and they turned up okay. But I baked the brownie for too long and after it cooled down, it was hard as rock. I was pissed so I threw the brownie out of the window. It landed on a road in front of the dorm, it stuck to the road and stayed there for weeks.

When I was poor as fuck I ended up going through all of the canned goods in my house making terrible meals. I forced myself to eat what I already had to put off buying more groceries for a little while.

The worst was a chili made from a can of Bush's baked beans, a can of chili dog sauce, and whatever spices I thought might be good in it. Cumin, taco seasoning, some BBQ sauce, some tobasco. I couldn't finish more than one bowl.

I felt like I wasted those beans. I never thought I'd have gotten to the point where I would be so upset about wasting a single can of beans.
