What's the worst food mistake you've made?

When I was 9 or 10, I made a baguette with nutella, and filled it with chips. IIRC, I probably put ketchup on it too!

Anyone remember the hairy sausages on here in a similar thread about a year or two ago? Sausages with spagetti thru them. I made them for her indoors, they never went down very well. Wonder why?!
 
Earlier today I tried to poach an egg. The pan of water was boiling hot and I thought you just cracked the egg into it.
It started swimming around like some kind of deranged octopus, splitting up into little eggy fragments which eventually looked like pigeon ****.

I decided to just fry them. Waste of an egg though. :(
 
Went to make a chocolate milkshake but since the wife was distracting me instead of getting out the milkshake powder i usec cocoa powder instead :( took a massive mouthful of it and had to spit it out instantly it was so disgusting :(
 
Came back one evening after a workout and cracked the fridge open for a drink. Spotted the milk bottle with only a little left so I thought "Might as well chug it".

Cap off, bottle to mouth and -

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Next second entire kitchen counter, floor, fridge door etc. all sprayed with milk as I hurled - VIOLENTLY.

It was rancid. Had prob expired days ago but I hadnt noticed. Retched about 7-8 times.

The milk had solid lumpy bits in it along with some squishy bits. Kitchen stank for days. I mopped the crap out of the place and stripped everything outta the fridge and cleaned it.

Moral: sniff test - ALWAYS :D
 
I once took some women's Period Pain pill's thinking that they were sleeping tablets. (they looked almost identical)

I literally squatted for hours in agony my Testicles felt very very heavy.


oops misread the topic title. lol

Also, ate an olive expecting it to be a grape. Was a very unpleasant surprise and to this day, I hate olives.

I remember that my mother spiked my fruit salad with a big juicy olive when I was a kid. She knew I'd never share my salad, and said "ooh, can I have this grape?" and made a move for it. I quickly grabbed it and shoved it in my mouth. It was disgusting. Put me off olives for years. Nowadays though, I love them.
 
Trying to make a smoke bomb in a bean tin on the hob by heating Potassium nitrate and sugar on a low heat when I was 13. I didnt have Salt petre but heard Sodium nitrate could be used instead. I used Weedkiller instead (Sodium chlorate)

There was about half a bean tin full of the 50/50 mix. On low heat it wasnt doing anything so I turned it up. About 30 seonds later a 6 foot jet flame was coming out the can firing molten sugar all over the place. This lasted for about a minute of me bricking it. Cue a huge burn on the ceiling and burn marks all over the worksurfaces, floor, ceiling and cooker.

Needless to say I got a bit of a telling off!

Actual food related, probably when my housemate in first year of uni said to me "Does this chicken look ok to eat" He took it out the fridge, I smelled it and puked all over the floor. It had been in the fridge for months and was green. Worst thing I have ever smelt

Def dare your housemates to do it, it sounds like an easy challenge but it ain't :D
 
Ah, just remembered at uni in catered hall I got to the end of the line where the dessert was - chocolate sponge with optional custard. Instead of custard I went for the hot chocolate sauce. It was gravy. Why would you put these two things next to each other?!
 
One I seem to remember which happened whilst staying in a large hotel, one of the chains that does continental breakfast buffets.

I was enjoying the buffet and decided I fancied a croissant, specifically a toasted croissant. So I popped the croissant into the little conveyor belt type toasting machines, unfortunately I failed to realize the thickness of bread and croissants does not really compare especially if you don't slice your croissant! Cue mine getting jammed about half way through and promptly catching fire and setting light to the other toast in the machine, one rather concerned breakfast chef and a fire extinguisher later the other guests were not going to be having any more toast.

I was not especially popular!
