76 Times People Ordered Food Only To Be Served These Hilariously Offensive Meals (New Pics)
We all deserve to eat quality and nutritious food. But when you’re not cooking at home, you sometimes run into the demoralizing fact that not everyone in the kitchen cares about your experience. You’re famished, and you order something, but instead of eating something delicious, you’re served utter slop.
You then look at your ‘food,’ check how much it costs, and realize that you’ve been scammed. We’ve been there. You’ve probably been there, too. And many other folks online have gone through the same nightmare. So, our team at Bored Panda has collected some of the most egregious examples of people getting ridiculously offensive dishes. Grab a snack or a drink and scroll down to feed your rage.

Fat Harry (Oi / You) 6 hours ago
You can get good Italian food in England, so why not France? Admittedly it's because many Italian POWs stayed on after WWII and started families here, but even so. The problem is that food places near tourist attractions are generally just shite tourist traps.
Load More Replies... Many people are massively cutting back on their expenses.
Based on the findings of a recent Business Insider survey, the vast majority of United States consumers have said that prices have gone up.
Most notably, groceries have gotten more expensive (90% of respondents said that prices have gone up in this category), as has dining out (87%), coffee (84%), personal care products (66%), utilities (65%), and clothes (62%).
“Most respondents said they've noticed a rise in grocery and dining out prices, with one person calling dining out a luxury and another saying it's nearly impossible to do so. Some respondents specifically called out the cost of meat,” BI notes.

Ordered Some Popcorn Chicken From A Restaurant With A Sense Of Humour
Ace 21 hours ago
Saw a similar post recently and was scratching my head, having never heard of this, wondering what was wrong with it. Only then discovered that for some reason the dish of that name does not actually contain any popcorn. So yeah, I'd forgive them, assuming they're not in the US and were just trying to make a dish they'd never heard of that an American had ordered.
Nicole Weymann 14 hours ago
I still don't get why OP would order popcorn chicken from a restaurant/take away if it's not on the menu. I'm guessing they thought every place has them - kinda similar to an acquaintance of mine who talked about his first visit to McD's way back when they opened their first shops in Germany in the 1970s. He knew it was a fast food place and confidently ordered a Currywurst. His flabber was absolutely gasted. "Who opens a fast food place and doesn't sell sausages?? They didn't even have bratwurst!"

One respondent, Jeni Garcin, who, along with her husband, noticed price increases for coffee, tires, etc., had this to say to BI: “It's so frustrating that people like us who are financially responsible, who are doing everything right, are still just feeling like we're stretched every step of the way.”

In Garcin’s particular case, she’s willing to pay the higher price for coffee, which she views as a luxury “self-care item.” That being said, she’s willing to cut back on chips or, when dining out, she goes for the cheaper burger option.
“Even though sometimes I want the sour cream and onion, I look at the price, and I just, I'm not going to do that," she shared with BI.

Meanwhile, another respondent, Sarah DeVillis Adams, stressed to Business Insider that grocery prices have increased.
"It's absolutely affected our bottom line because the other things that are going through increases, we're forced to pay — utilities and things like that. There's no way out of it. And so the only thing we can manipulate is our grocery budget, and it gets harder and harder the more things cost,” she said.
She added that, for her family, dining out has become unaffordable, with one outing adding up to an entire week of food.

Nope. Nothing like steak tartare, which is much more finely chopped. The worst part of it is not the uncooked nature of that abomination, but the fact that it looks like it's really chewy and gristly.

I would eat that. Nothing wrong with a rare burger, and if you ordered it in France, that's pretty much what you'd get.
If you want loyal, returning customers, then you’ve got to offer them quality products and services that match the pricetag. But if you’re ripping them off, you’re only going to push them away. It’s even worse if you advertise your products as being far better than what you actually serve up.
You’d expect business owners to be rational, but they’re sometimes so fixated on short-term gains that they completely ignore long-term reputational damage.

Like with most things in life, voting with your wallet is your best approach. If a business owner continues to provide products and services that are of an unacceptable quality, stop buying from them.
This eats into their profit margins. And they will either have to change their business strategy (i.e., provide better products) or go bankrupt.

In the meantime, the wrong thing to do would be to continue buying low-quality dishes for huge prices, without voicing your concerns or changing your buying habits. If you’re willing to spend your hard-earned cash on slop, why would these restaurant owners change their approach? From their perspective, business continues to boom.
Instead, look for better businesses to support with your money, ones that actually care about the customer experience.

Fat Harry (Oi / You) 6 hours ago
I don't think that looks too bad. The problem is that Americans are used to shite Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese, so when it doesn't look like that, they think something is up. If you actually MAKE macaroni cheese properly (you know, using actual cheese sauce) this is more or less what it looks like. It needs longer under the grill, and this does look a little watery, but the colour is not that off. CHEDDAR IS NOT ORANGE.

In the meantime, embrace cooking at home as part of your daily routine. No matter how tired and busy you are, there are tons of quick, simple, great-tasting dishes that you can throw together. And if you make a bigger batch, you won’t have to worry about the next few days’ meals. Sure, it takes a bit of planning and effort, but it’s perfectly doable.

Roasting chickens can be amazingly large. And prepared properly (an authentic Mexican takeout place near me knows how) can be incredibly juicy and flavorful.

That is exactly how pre-prepared/processed egg products are presented to a whole lotta "fresh food" restaurants.

Went to a vegan restaurant and ordered sunflower seed risotto. Turned out, it didn't mean a risotto with sunflower seeds, but sunflower seeds were used instead of risotto rice.

Ordered A Cheeseburger With Green Chili And This Is What I Got
Had to eat this with a fork and knife. Actually tasted pretty good but was very upset when this is what was served to me.

"BeCauSe YoU sHouLDn'T nEed CuTleRY foR (whatever the food is)!!!1!" ... that was crazy hard to type, by the way. I use cutlery for pizza and people call me weird. Yes, I am weird, but I also don't like sauce/oil/greasiness all over my hands when I can avoid it, hence cutlery.

This is what happens to you in all regards under the rule of an wildly unregulated market. You just see it better in examples of your daily life, like food. If profit is all that matters, logic dictates, everyone is trying to get the most out of you while giving you the absolute bare minimum in return. Don't be surprised.
