Over two thousand years ago, the great Roman philosopher Seneca said "To err is human", and with this phrase in particular immortalized his name. Now we don’t know exactly on what occasion the legendary thinker put it this way, so we can only guess. Here is one of these guesses - given that in Seneca's notes a lot of attention is paid to delicious food, it is quite possible that the philosopher was simply upset by some unsuccessful dish, his own or someone else's cooking.
Yes, we all make mistakes, including when we cook something. Cooking is like art - an extra drop of sauce or oil, and now a new ingenious recipe is ready. However, it is much more likely that because of this very extra drop, something really disgusting will come to light, which will forever ruin your culinary reputation, even in your own eyes.
It is believed that the key to a successful stand-up is funny jokes about yourself, because people like irony. This is probably the main reason for the popularity of the Reddit community under the self-explanatory name "Cooking Fails", where there are already more than five hundred people sharing images of their self-created cooking disasters, accompanying them with some witty comments.
So Bored Panda has put together a selection of the funniest, most unexpected and absolutely incredible food fails for your own enjoyment, so please feel free to scroll this list to the very end, mark the submissions you like best - and the next time after failing at the stove, rather than being angry with yourself, just remember this post, and it will definitely help you perceive everything through the prism of humor. Bon appétit (but not exactly)!

Our neighbor was coming home at that moment and she laughed and said she'd done the same thing awhile ago lol!

Tried Making A Mug Cake
Sonja 2 years ago
Well, looks like the mug was a bit small. Tip for everyone: if you want to make a mug cake in the microwave the cup should only be half full. Only a third if you want to have toppings. It won't look Instagram perfect but will be much easier to eat and cook evenly
Bunzilla 2 years ago
Yep, just like with a normal cake, don't overfill unless you want a mess. Plus, it cooks better if there's less thickness (again, like a real cake). Also, check your microwave wattage, since your cooking time varies based on the microwave wattage (usually you can find a sticker stating the wattage around the edges of the opening).

Yummy Glass
Fiona Parky 2 years ago
That’s a stale egg. I don’t know if this works in countries that wash their eggs; but for all those whose supermarkets sell them room temperature: just put your egg into a jug full of water. If the egg lies flat on the bottom of the jug it’s very fresh. That makes it perfect for poached eggs, fried eggs, soufflé and meringue. If it tips up slightly it’s perfect for baking and omelette, don’t try to fry it like this! If it stands up straight in the jug or floats, throw it away it’s not useable. This one looks like it floated all the way up.

Unfortunately, I didn’t realise that I had used GRAVY granules instead of coffee granules; so I added milk, hot water & sugar, stirred it up & gave it to my poor sister, who probably thought “Oh, how nice! My little sis just made me a nice cup of coffee!”. Then she took a big swig … & 💩 hit the fan; almost immediately, she retched violently & ran for the bathroom like a true Olympian! LOL. Deep down, I felt so bad about making my sister physically ill, but as I was just a child, her reaction had me in a fit of giggles (even now, I only have to remind her about the time I made her a “beef gravy coffee with milk & sugar” & she’d retch so hard)! 😂

Maybe it was payback for what happened to my older sister, because I felt sick for the first mouthful, so I had to tell my mum that she had used coffee in the rice (& she immediately realised that she had confused coffee granules for gravy ones, just like I did in reverse), much to her embarrassment.
