What’s the most hideous thing that ever came into existence by your cooking?

being a teenager and thinking 'well if this cake takes 30-45 minutes to cook at 350 then if I set it to 500 then it'll be done in 20 right???' I mean that's some sound-ass logic right there

Nothing really that I can remember (I don't cook often), unless you count that time I burned something. All the water in the pot boiled out. I don't remember what it was, probably pasta or some kind of rice. My dad commanded that I never leave the stove while I'm cooking, but he does that all the time and sometimes burns shit himself. Sigh.

chicken mole that was basically grease and gunk because it overcooked a bit too much.

Sauté mushrooms in marmite (yeast extract)... its still edible, and somewhat tasty... but I imagine it may frighten people.

It was called ( according to the cook book ) a Lebanese stew. Later I found my fault ( I skipped a line of text ). The resulting concrete mass had an abysmal scent. Do not force me to tell the means I used to compensate the smell.

Banana cake. That’s what it was supposed to be anyway. It smelled delicious, and came out of the oven all browned and crisp and lovely. Except it was only a centimetre thick and just grey slimy mush inside. Even the birds wouldn’t look at it.
