What is the most disappointing recipe you have ever tried, that turned out terribly,?

Spaghetti with a ground turkey meat sauce.

I won't qualify this as a true ingredient mishap because it was not specified that I should have used 85/15 ground turkey. I used Jennie-O extra lean ground turkey breast and what makes it worse it that I was trying to prove to my then boyfriend that it would taste just as good as ground beef.

Well, imagine the driest turkey or chicken breast that you have ever tried to swallow finely grated into a sauce that I had slaved over for hours peeling and de-seeding tomatoes lol.

It was bizarre, impossible to catch anything but pasta to chew, hit your throat kind of funny,and left a scattering of meat in your mouth that needed to be washed down with the drink. After about 5 minutes of effort and a laugh fest, I made a quick shrimp scampi-type topping for the pasta.

I have since resolved the problem by using a ground turkey with some fat in it (hence the 85/15), but I think I may have permanently scarred the ex against ground turkey.

crimson Velvet Cake I choose this crimson velvet cake recipe certainly i've got tried because of the fact I consistently have self-starting to be flour reachable. Oil makes the layers moist, and butter and cream cheese with powdered sugar and chopped pecans are the makings of a good large frosting. 2½ cups self-starting to be flour a million cup buttermilk a million½ cups vegetable oil a million teaspoon baking soda a million teaspoon vanilla ¼ cup crimson food colour a million½ cups sugar a million teaspoon cocoa a million teaspoon vinegar 2 super eggs Preheat oven to 350°. integrate all factors in an excellent mixing bowl and beat with mixer till properly mixed.

There's the recipe that went straight from the stove to the garbage...sort of a chicken fillet roll-up with cheese and (ack!) unfortunately, raspberry. The only thing worse than the way it looked when it was 'done' was the way it smelled and tasted. To this day, we call that dish, Chicken New Jersey.

I was younger, not been married too long. Had made a tuna casserole, that was very tasty. Invited company over and had the bright idea of making but making it a seafood casserole. It was so bad that we and out guest decided to go out to eat. And the dog wouldn't even eat any of it. Need less to say , I now always try out cooking experiments before I invite guest.

A root vegetable cobbler. It was meant as a side dish. It called for turnips, potatoes, carrots and onions. I didn't realize that a) I hate turnips (this was my first attempt to eat them) and b) the awfulness of the turnips would contaminate every other vegetable in the cobbler so you couldn't even salvage the potatoes.

Dirt chicken with cilantro. I love Cilantro, and what I call dirt chicken is when you build a fire, let it burn down, dig a hole, rebuild the fire in the hole, let it burn down, then bury chicken pieces wrapped in alum foil on a cookie sheet or other steel surface, covering them with the hot dirt and coals. Rebuild fire again, go fishing for a couple of hours, come back dig it up, and YUM!!! Once, I included Cilantro in the pack of chicken pieces, (dirt chicken good, Cilantro good), and when I dug it up and opened the package, it was horrible. Smelled horrible, tasted horrible. Live and learn

Once I tried to make tarragon butter, and it turned out the erb i was using it was PARSLEY, my aunt was allergic to parsley and her glands started swelling up and we had to go to the ER after that experince i will never make tarragon butter again!

Baked alaska, was more like a melted florida.

My cereal caught on fire.

...Not really. I've never had a culinary mishap.
