I ask because I attempted a recipe for vegan "meatballs" today. The base was uncooked red lentils, which raised an eyebrow. Shocker, they tasted like raw red lentils (spices and sauce notwithstanding). The recipe also called for baking soda, so they exploded a little in the tomato sauce due to the acidity. 2/10 looking for a different recipe.
I wouldn't say it's my worst, though. One time I tried to hard boil an egg in the microwave. With the shell still on.
What's a culinary project that didn't go your way?
Not mine but my sister's ex tried making garlic chicken once and it called for like 6 garlic cloves and he thought it meant entire bulbs. Their house reeked of garlic for months whenever the oven was turned on.
we found it, folks
