There's nothing like looking at a nice fresh dinner made with love to get our appetites going. But as we all know, creating such meals is no easy feat — learning to cook well enough takes time and a great deal of effort. So while some manage to prepare dishes they can post on their Instagram feed, others end up with something far from expected.
Whether it’s hilarious cooking fails, terrible meals people had the audacity to serve, or pictures of simply cursed food, people have a soft spot for witnessing kitchen disasters. Thanks to this Reddit community, we can easily boost our confidence and have a nice laugh by seeing the bad, the ugly, and the most unappetizing meals out there.
So get ready, because we're about to take a deep dive into some of the worst images this online group had to offer, all for your amusement. Make sure to scroll down below and upvote the ones that made you cringe the most. Also, if you’re hungry for some more lousy and trashy food, don’t forget to check out Part 1 of this post right here!

Peas And Mayonnaise Pizza
I would go to war against this. It looks horrible and I bet it stinks too.
Maybe.... idk, as long as I don't die. But only once.

As revolting as this is, and as much as I would like to delete it from the universe, if there are people that love it then I say live and live!
My pineapple *so will stand against this; I dislike both peas and mayo
And people think us pineapple pizza lovers are crazy...….. This is WRONG!!!!!
Looks like something my aunt with sensory issues would make.
If the peas were frozen and not canned... And the mayo had vinegar added, I'm down.
It might taste like s**t, I dunno... Ut it doesn't LOOK "unappealing" to me. Actually looks kinda tasty.
I'd be that weirdo that might try a bite, just to see if i actually dislike it or not.
Watch Huggbees' video on "No One Can Decide What Pizza Is." This is nothing in comparison
In my country whe have a pizza with bechamel sauce and ripped plantains.
Omgosh! That picture just made me shiver! LOL Um...that's a no from me.
Ewww! This person is right we must fight together and slay this union!
My grandma makes a "pizza" thats really weird. Its ketchup and mayo as base, ground beef, canned mushrooms, cheese and marinated carrots (the Korean kind). Ok heres the thing though, I know it sound really weird, but its delicious. Ive f*****g loved it since childhood, and once we moved away, anytime i visit her its basically all i will have her make for me.
This reminds me of pizza I had in South Korea. It included peas, Marciano cherries, and canned corn.
Ok ok ok.....mayo heck no. But the peas....it looks like there is pepperoni and cheese too....if it was ranch instead, I'd be willing to try it tbh
I think I need to go to the bathroom now🤢. Far be it from me to tell others how to live. If you like it, then enjoy. At least you won't have to share with many others😁
Mayo is repulsive in the best of circumstances. This abomination should be purged with fire and never spoken of ever again.
The idea of peas in a pizza did revolt me but as my daughter is a vegan I did try it... It doesn't taste anything like peas an they get really crunchy! I'm not a fanatic but it tastes fine and crunchy...
Peas = good. Mayo = good. Pizza = good. I would try this, it could be a taste sensation
I was once served a broccoli and cauliflower pizza while extremely intoxicated. One wiff and I was able to purge myself of liquor and go home.
How about we just let people enjoy whatever toppings they want on pizza and stop freaking out about it?
I wonder if this is Japan. They have some truly unique pizza toppings including mayonnaise.
Actually, I put this one on the same box that pinneaple pizza
To learn more about how these kitchen disasters happen and what people could do to avoid them, we reached out to Ellen Manning, freelance journalist, writer, and founder of the Eat With Ellen blog. "I'm no expert, but from experience, I'd say the biggest cooking mistakes amateurs make are not planning and preparing properly, and not allowing enough time," she told Bored Panda.
"Even the very best chefs make sure everything is prepared in advance, and they know how much time they need to execute certain dishes," Ellen explained. Whether you feel daunted by the whole process or believe you simply lack the skill to create beautiful meals, there are plenty of easy-to-follow cooking tips that can up your culinary game right away.
"If you're less confident, it's even more important to do this and to build in a bit of extra time so you're not rushing and getting stressed. I've ruined many a meal because I tried to rush, didn't read the recipe in advance and get everything ready, then ended up trying to do too much in too little time, which inevitably causes mistakes," the blogger revealed.

Luckily, it’s easy to avoid kitchen blunders such as you see in this list if you simply make a plan and stick to it. "Take time to read the recipe, to check you've got the right ingredients, and to plan what you need and what you'll need to do," Ellen suggested. "This is even more important if you're cooking several dishes at the same time. There's many an adage that says 'perfect planning prevents poor performance' — or words to that effect — and it's no different in the kitchen."
So if you want to prevent slip-ups, mishaps, and setting your kitchen on fire, or generally want to know some small steps to help you improve your cooking, Ellen has you covered. "If you're making a complicated dish, get everything chopped up, measured out, and weighed in advance. This will help," she advised.
"Also, try to clear up as you go along (or get someone else to do it). Tidy workspace, tidy mind, and all that. It will keep you organized and calm if you're not working in chaos."

Let’s not forget that sight, smell, and even sound of food also contribute to how we perceive a certain food. That’s why serving and eating from an attractive plate is also extremely important.
When asked how we can make our food look more appetizing, Ellen told us that a lot of this could come down to preference. "But as everyone says, you eat with your eyes as well as your mouth, so how your dish looks matters as much as how it tastes."

"Arranging food in a way that's pleasing to the eye is key — think of it as the main part of the dish being the centerpiece, with other elements around it designed to help it stand out, and to complement it in terms of color."
"It's important to think of appearance in three dimensions, not just two, so consider using height (that's why you see so many dishes with elements stacked up on each other). That said, sometimes less is more, so try not to make your plate too 'busy'. You don't want people to be put off by a plate of chaos."

So when you finally prepare a delicious and appealing plate, you immediately know what to do next — take your phone out and snap a photo. According to Ellen, there are many different ways to take food pictures, and she had a few handy tips to share with you.
"45 degree [angle] always works well but lots of people love a 'flat lay' — when you take a picture from above the plate," she said and added that often it's all about trial and error. "Try different angles, or having different elements as the focus of your shot. You might think it would be the steak, but sometimes the best picture might be focused on the chips, with the steak behind them. Play around and see what works. But remember — while food photos are great, so is eating a hot meal!"

reminds me of the abominations i was served during my stay at a mental hospital...
I interned on a psych ward, among other places. Made me realize that one of the best things about an inpatient psych stay was that it convinced a person simply that they never wanted to do that again. And the place I was at was def one of the 'nicer' places.
