Whatever food you might personally love or loathe, you can’t deny that cooking can be an immense pleasure. Though you’ve got to get all the groceries, do the prep work, and finish things off by washing a mountain of dishes, there’s hardly a better feeling than tucking into a dish you made yourself. And if your loved ones enjoy it as well—mission accomplished!

However, let’s be frank: we can’t always tell if our dish worked out. Sometimes, we need a bit of objectivity. One place where you can ask for an open and honest opinion is the ‘Rate My Plate’ Facebook group. Home to 40.1k members, the group invites people to share photos of their food and have it rated by others. You might get a metaphorical gold star for your delish dish… or you might get called an idiot sandwich.

We’ve collected some of the finest and weirdest dishes to show you, dear Pandas, and we’d love your verdict. Would you eat it? Would you avoid it even if you had a ten-foot pole? Scroll down, upvote your fave photos, and share your honest opinions in the comments.

Bored Panda has reached out to the ‘Rate My Plate’ team, and we’ll update the article once we hear back from them.

    Zero salmonella because the whites are cooked at a temperature that kills the bacteria. Have you never eaten proper poached eggs? Hard yolks are boiled eggs.

    Wow. I feel like I'm being really critical, but so far 1 out of 7 dishes looks at all well-prepared (2 if you count the mouth-watering but unmanageable burger). The pearl onions look fine. The fries look like they were cooked at too low a temperature; the veggies look overcooked, and everything looks bland.
