Maybe you want to make up to your partner for something stupid you’ve done, or maybe you’re bored. It doesn’t matter; you’ve found the perfect recipe, and you’re willing to commit the whole evening to making it a reality. The problem is, nothing is as deceiving as a recipe. Not even those icebergs that threatened the Titanic. I mean, that lasagna may look pretty in the pictures, and the steps may sound so simple anyone could do it, but it couldn’t be further from the truth. That, however, was enough to fool you, and now you’re as oblivious as the ship’s captain, heading towards a disaster. A horrible expectation vs. reality food disaster.
Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest examples of food fails to make you feel like an iron chef. After all, we all need some encouragement. From stained glass cookies that look like they’ve just committed suicide to a rice bear that is more mummy than bear, these dishes make you wonder if someone was brave enough to eat them.
Scroll down to take a look at why sometimes it’s better to order a pizza and vote for your funniest expectation vs. reality food pic entries.
