40 Dishes Made By Guys That Raise A Lot Of Questions And Zero Appetite, As Shared By Their Girlfriends Online
One of the most romantic things a guy could ever do for their significant other is prepare them dinner. But your mileage may vary depending on the culinary skills of your chosen one.
Some give off a chef vibe because they were probably born in a kitchen or under the croissant zodiac sign or something, while others weren’t as lucky and can’t cook to save their lives. This list is about the latter.
Girlfriends online have been sharing their boyfriends’… questionable, I wanna go with that word… culinary endeavors that they just couldn’t but share online. Bored Panda has gathered some of the best attempts at cooking and made a lovely curated list for you to peruse.
So, vote, comment, and why not share some of your significant other’s food mishaps, whether deliberate or not, in the comment section below!

Looks like a concoction that you would make in prison! Dang it! Now I want and incarcerrito!
I used to make something similar in my younger, more stoned days: a bagel sandwich with cream cheese, a slice of Muenster or Gouda cheese, thin sliced black forest ham and Cheddar sun chips (you could also use regular doritos, but the sun chips are better) all together into a sandwich. I used to call them stoner-snacks, because I would often make them with the mini bagels. They were amazing.
Crisp ( UK version of potato chips) sandwiches are very very popular here in Scotland .. Philadelphia cheese and prawn cocktail is my personal favourite..yum
Hmmm. I might try that. I like hot Cheetos. I like tuna. I recently found that i like a moderate amount of jalapenos and olives and a tiny amount of pickles in the tuna. I usually eat homemade sandwiches (especially tuna) with potato chips on them anyway (or Doritos for ham and sometimes poultry). So....maybe i might actually like it
The fresh herbs (looks like dill) is what tells me this is Not an American man's creation. [The flaming hot Cheetos Try to deceive...] Also, that's not Kraft cheese slices either. Totally not from the USA!
Not a fan of tuna. Substitute it for another flaky fish and it sounds good.
Just tried tuna salad with potato chips and liked it. This is next....
My go to, I affectionately call a "burger-ito". Burger patty, cut into strips, on a tortilla, eith crushed doritos and ketchup. Mayonnaise if you're feeling adventurous.
Okay... Thinking about the flavor profile of this sandwich....i would try it.
I'd try that but then I put hot sauce and cheddar in my tuna already.
There is absolutely nothing on this sandwich I would want to eat. MAYBE the mayo if I had a plate full of fries. *shudder*
I haven't eaten tuna for decades, but this makes me miss it. The cheetos are an interesting touch... spicy crunch.
Now that looks like something a homeless person would make, or someone with no cooking skills whatsoever.

Ah, another "men are useless" post! Where would we be without them? For the record, I do all the cooking because if my wife did we'd all die of botulism.
I think there is a lot of people (whatever gender) who can and can't cook. ☺️

I'm not the best cook but still I feel like Gordon Ramsay after reading this
Most BP articles indicate all men are childish, abusive rapists. This one merely claims we're useless. I'm looking at these and all I can think for most of them is "at least he tried".
The women in theses post do not cook and when the man steps up and cooks something they turn right around and bash them.

My boyfriend made me something to eat so instead of saying thank you I posted it on the Internet to try and ridicule him. There I fixed the title of the article for you.
Shouldn't have been a male bashing post. Instead it should have been more accurately labeled broke a*s kids in their early 20"s because that's what's really going on here. (Speaking from experience)
I don't care what they cook, I just want them to clean up after themselves and do their dishes.
It sexist to make fun of girls cooking not men though. It's perfectly OK to s**t on men whenever possible.

Great way to keep hateful stereotypes going even though men have improved so much over the past 50 years. Is every man perfect, nope, but neither is every woman.
I find it sad how so many people can be ungrateful and ignorant. At least there was an effort made to produce something. And sadly many of these people posting these do not bother to actually cook themselves, yet complain when their significant other attempts it. And, cooking is about experimentation. Not only finding what can pair together beautifully and be of decided interest to the masses, but what you yourself enjoy. Why tear eachother down? Appreciate these things for what they are, symbols of affection, of the possibilities that tastes have to offer, of creation and expression of a soul.
Statistics show that married men live longer than unmarried men, but unmarried women live longer than married women. Why? Please see exhibits 1 - 40.
This is not intended to be a "men are useless" post. Its supposed to be funny and ive seen guys (purposefully) do some whack things with food. Like my little brother. Who washed his hands with a slice of bread. No clue why he did it he just did! Remember, yall are in control of your own emotions. And cannot change others'. Its not every womans fault or the author's faukt that people posted the wrong things or made something seem a specific way. Lashing out wont fix it.
The same 'girlfriends' are mad when somebody says that women place is in the kitchen.
I've come a long ways for sure, but when my wife was pregnant with our first I thought I would play the romantic partner role and make dinner. I decided to go with meatloaf. Imagine my surprise (and hers) when I learned meatloaf isn't just a bunch of ground beef shaped into a loaf. No seasoning, no additions of any kind. Just...Hamburger. Once she realized what was happening in the kitchen she relieved me pretty quickly.
Wow, I never thought posts about food would be so polarizing. People are riled!
I used to know a woman who admitted that her parents never thought it necessary to teach her how to cook. Only thing she knew how to cook was spaghetti. Apparently, she ate spaghetti a LOT ... like 4-5 times a week. When we cleaned out the company apartment (after she left and before the next worker came ... long story, it was a rotation) we found SO much spaghetti. Honestly, a lot of the problem here is parents not teaching their kids how to cook. Parents: all kids need to learn to cook, sew, wash dishes, do laundry, etc.
Right up until you are an adult. Then reading a recipe or watching a YouTube video would work Time to stop blaming parents for working to much/being tired - that's capitalism, not bad parenting in most cases.

Now I understand why every time we invited my husband's staff at home for a meal I always got raving reviews. Except for one, they were all single. After the second time, I made more for doggy bags to bring home. My husband can boil water, make great loose tea, Knorr's pasta/rice, and pay the bill at a restaurant. That's about it. But he's great at passing the vacuum, emptying the dishwasher and cleaning my floors.
I eat coffee, milk ,crackers and cheese in a bowl. Oh and white rice with bananas and ketchup
maybe these posters should get off their lazy butts and cook their own food instead of complaining
Honestly, i think this is so sweet. Sure some of them look really inedible, and some of them look fine all they had to do was wrap the thing up in whatever bread substitute was used, but its the thought that counts. Yeah i understand the "lmao look at my bf being my bf" and maybe they shared it cus they found it funny and cute. But most people looking at this stuff from the outside only think of the negatives. I wish there were more appreciating the thought that goes behind this stuff. Obviously the men here cant cook but they tried their best or sometimes just wanted to do smth fun. Happens to everyone. We shouldn't be pulling the bfs down for this stuff. Dont be ungrateful
Not gonna lie I've made and eaten worse than this. Some people should learn the phrase it's the thought that counts.
How I cook: large cutting board, 7 kinds of vegetables cut up. All 4 burners on the stove utilized. Enough food (fajitas? Who knows) prepared for 7 days. How Husband Cooks: Use microwave only. Use one container for cook and prep only. Make food fast as possible. I totally get it. Why stand over a stove unless you actually enjoy it. He'd rather be coding.
One of the people I watch on Twitch has a friend who eats raw ramen noodles like chips. He just smashes the bag and dumps in the seasoning packet.
Why are people down voting comments just because they don't personally agree? Everyone has the right to express their opinion.
I find that what the food is served on (plastic plates etc) tells more about the people than the food failures, and who keeps their keys next to their dinner?
Yes, but melting isn't always wanted, needed or even advisable.

Why you americans eat like you have free health care? Or, better question: how in the hell you managed to reproduce when your boyfriends cook like this?
My husband got me hooked on poached egg on a pop tart. It's really good. It sounds weird at first, but it's really not that different from eggs with toast and jelly 🤷♀️
