i don't know if this counts as food but when I was younger,
I wanted to make tea. I saw Nescafe, I thought i was the same as Milo
Brothers and Sisters I packed like 4 big spoons into the tea cup.
the thing was fvcking bitter. I added one full peak milk and more than
10 cubes of sugar, still it was fvcking bitter. I had to force myself to drink at least half of it
because I couldn't waste the peak milk like that

OK! This I can relate to.

I think I was about 10 or so when it happened to me.

That useless thing made me hate coffee forever.

where should i start from.

1, when i was learning how to fry indomie, i used too much oil and most of you already know the result.

2, used too much water to cook beans. when i mean too much, i mean too much that the beans was so soft like soup. it was very sweet sha, but i was weirdly watery even after it cooled down.

3, Then the most memorable.. When the whole jar of grinded red pepper poured into banga soup i was making and did not know. it was dark and no light. left the cover open after taking from it and just kept it idly on the cabinet above the gas cooker. don't know how, but when i noticed it, it was too late. there was no using spoon to remove it from the surface.

Yep, I did cook with my wee wee.

Was sick and passed out for like a day and half( off camp in uni), as my door was jam rock, compound people assumed I wasn't around.
Woke up the next day in the middle of the night hungry.
I has water I stored in paint container.
There was one other empty container. Was open. So I was hungry and managed to boil small spagetti with water from the container. So small. I finished it and went back to sleep.
Around 4 days after when I was using my brain properly again, I had some flashback and remembered I did wee wee at a point when I was down. Happened that I used that empty container to.....and since I never poured out anything, where did it go to.
Inside my stomach grin cheesy.

My first day after work, I went home with the guy I was to stay with.
He told me to prepare noodles.
A female colleague that resumed with me same day, said she would prefer I put a little gnut oil, while pointing to a liquid in a bottle on one corner of the kitchen.
Mind you, it was getting dark, so I just took it and poured.

Been long time ago... I mistake the kerosene to be oil cos the bottle look alike. So I used kerosene to cook beans in place of the oil. And my mom forced me and my siblings to eat it. Our tummy no rest after eating cry

Was cooking beans with my electric pot and 10mint latter those yeye discos took the light and I left the beans expecting them to restore the light but they didn't do that and I decided to get the beans out of the pot and remove the water in the beans just to preserve it, latter in the middle of the night which was the early morning of the 3rd day, light was restored and I decided to continue cooking the beans but to my surprise, that beans did not get done. The beans strong and refused to get soft and the cooking continue for another three days by adding water but that beans did not done o. I never see that kind beans before. May be I made a mistake with the way I tried to preserved it or it was just the beans, I just throwey d beans jeje

A week after my wedding, I decided to cook my first soup. I chose Egusi, I thought well it shouldn't be that bad.

First mistake was to wash the Egusi before grinding. Second I grounded it wet.
I became confused after that. I poured the Egusi inside a well bleached red oil.

To end the story, I had black Egusi in my pot.

Hubby just came in and said let's go and eat out. grin

I do laugh at myself when I remembered all my awful cooking skills. I was very lazy to cook but I can chop. The adage which says "No food for a lazy man" it doesn't work for me because I love to stay in the kitchen while you do the cooking. For sure I go chop.

Let's me tell you the one that happens this year.

We're 4boys in our flats. we cook, eat, play and do most things together. So I don't do the cooking bcoz I was a bad cooker(lols).

There comes a night when I was told to go cook spaghetti, I felt disturbed. I thought of How To cook it. That is how I parboiled it and seive it.
The spaghetti was done already, so as to satisfy my self, I come put spaghetti back to pot put on fire oh. That is how spaghetti come clustered together.

It really pissed them off to the extent of snapping it and saving it on their email respectively. That food was tagged the worst food of the century.

We all had to manage it cos we're all hungry.

Wetin man go do..

Our liquid soap was golden yellow, same colour as vegetable oil.
