Admit it. You’ve tried your hand at cooking and plating food in the hopes of creating a dish that’s worthy of social media attention. And you’ve probably failed at least one.
These Reddit users saw no shame in posting their kitchen concoctions, so there’s no need to feel bad. Not all of us can become a chef or an amazing home cook. But at least we can try.

We’ve all wanted to just eat the cookie dough, but there’s a reason we don’t. And raw eggs are the reason.
Then again, during the pandemic, everything seems like a risk, so maybe it’s time to live dangerously in the kitchen. (Just kidding – we don’t advocate trying this at home.)
Well, bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches are delicious but rarely beautiful. These must be some keto version without the bread.
It could be worse, but if they were going for something posh, we think they missed the mark.
This must be inspired by Harvey Dent, the man who went on to become Two-Face in Batman’s Gotham City.
Curious to know what it tastes like though because it sure looks gross.
4. When you’re hungry, anything goes
We’ve all been broke and hungry at some point in life. And when that happens, anything in the fridge looks good.
Ok, maybe it doesn’t look good, but it seems edible.
Hey, maybe those roots did come from aliens. This is unexpected creativity though, hence the photo and the upload.
This is what the rest of the world thinks of America. And we can’t exactly blame them because we’d definitely eat it.
We’d just be a little ashamed afterward.
It looks amazing. Until you look closely. But really, the plating on this one…
Now this is intriguing. Can’t go wrong with banana and peanut butter. Perhaps better lighting? Or different geometry?
These are supposed to be waffle fries. And we see what they were trying to accomplish. It just didn’t work.
Gin and juice is always a welcome drink. Unless you’re having some ice difficulties.
Next time just put the gin on the side and make due.
11. Stranger Things much?
The idea was born, the intent was there, but the execution took an unexpected turn.
It’s still cute in an odd sort of way.
That is either something out of a science fiction film, or an artifact of some sort unearthed in a dig.
Seriously, it looks like the pasta is trying to escape.
Brothers are the reason we can’t have nice things.
Take this Thai basil chicken, for example. It probably looked ok until the prank.
Pretty sure you have to be 5 years old or have some serious digestive issues to think this looks good.
This needs some serious flavoring, stat!
Sadly, we think there would be a market for these.
We just want to know which type of “gummy” bear does more damage to a human body – fruity gelatin or ranch?
Well, apparently that’s bread. It looks more like a pizza crust though.
And that wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t still look raw in the middle.
17. Mars attacks, the prequel
Ack! Ack! Talk about brain food.
Display these on Halloween though and you’ve got a winner.
That’s love alright. Through the good times and the bad, and all the messy parts in between. Lucky guy.
It better have lots of good protein. After all, it looks so meaty and mighty. And it’s from a legit restaurant too!
What were they thinking?!
Anything for the likes and the views. Besides, it’s cheese. A bottle of wine should make a good match. Perhaps some boxed wine?
The Skittle really completes the absurdity.
21. Thanks mom, you’re so sweet
Well, we’re not sure what’s growing here, but we’re pretty sure this cake is a goner.
And, frankly, we don’t see how it could have looked good a month earlier either.
22. The price you pay for quality
$15? Fifteen dollars?? Imagine what that could have gotten you in the supermarket. Or the burger joint.
Basic burrito moves. At least it won’t burn a hole in your wallet (just your stomach).
It’s for the super hungry and cheap.
The real question here is, how much did it cost? Perhaps a little ketchup will help?
This is why you can never trust 5 stars from your fellow citizens.
You had us until the “bake 11 hours.” That probably should have been a sign that something was wrong.
Didn’t they smell that burning?!
Well, we’ve lost our appetite. How about you?
