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!

Boyfriend Made Tuna Salad With Hot Sauce And Pickles
Kiryn Silverwing 3 years ago
My standard tuna salad is tuna, mayo, and pickle relish, and sometimes I'll put sriracha in it, so I can totally see hot sauce working well too.
GoddessOdd 3 years ago
Is there any other way? Hot sauce is optional, but delicious... pickles are a must.
R.D. Whitaker 3 years ago
I do mustard,Mayo, creamy chipotle sauce, and sour pickles in my tuna salad. Pile it on 2 halves of a slider bun,top with shredded cheese, and toast in the toaster oven to melt the cheese.
LynzCatastrophe 3 years ago
*sighs* it's not my picture but your boyfriend isn't completely special. This is my husband's favourite thing to eat.
David Kramer 3 years ago
Pickles are good on many things because acidic flavors make food better.
Evi Grimes 3 years ago
Why not? We make tuna salad with sweet relish and mayo in my family. My secret is a bit of bbq sauce. Makes it tangy too. Shh don't tell anyone like the internet or anything.
Wicked Adi 3 years ago
My tuna salad is tuna, corn, lettuce, pickled jalapeños, mayo and lime! Gotta love Mexican recipes, eat with corn chips so damn good.

I totally make this myself, except I don't add gherkins (I'm going to start adding gherkins, genius idea). I'm a 42 year old woman who loves cooking. This is a totally valid choice
Craig Reynolds 3 years ago
I put hot sauce in my tuna salad all the time. Pickles on the side unless a tuna melt.

Stephanie Wittenberg 3 years ago
In his defense, I always put jalapeños on a tuna salad sandwich. It's a great mix of cold salad with a spicy complement.
Ashley Morrissey 3 years ago
Tuna tastes great with pickles but I'd substitute the hot sauce for mustard personally

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)

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.
Bobbi Belanger 3 years ago
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.

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.

Dustin Hisel 3 years ago
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.

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.
Bex 3 years ago
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.

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.
