These comments reminded me of certain mistakes or experiments that were not inedible. Personally, I think that If you have not made something horrible, you haven't experimented enough or cooked enough.pastorkeith wrote:I over fed the sourdough starter that lived in my fridge once...just once.Lambchop wrote:I have turned out stuff even birds wouldn't peck at.

For me, I had a package of soft cheese that could be squeezed from a package (from an MRE) I tried to make mac&cheese with it. At the time I was pretty good at being able to eat anything, often taking my mind off of the flavor by directing why I did not like it. Slowly roiling over the texture, flavor, smell, and other small points. I could not get past two spoon fulls.
My old boss talked about the first time he tried to cook something for his wife. I didn't add backing powder and made hockey pucks. His wife told him that they were so tough that a .22 round couldn't go through it. She took the “muffins” out back and proved herself right.
Any good stories of failing in the kitchen?
