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?
One time I cooked some kinda sausage to put on a bun like a hot dog and that wasn't a problem but I thought I'd make a sauce so I deglazed the pan with some red wine and so I had this gross bright purple mushroom slop on top of my sausage and it wasn't good I tell you hwut
