If you're a regular Bored Panda reader, you probably know we have a soft spot for kitchen fails. There's just something really reassuring about homemade bread baking for 11 hours and a depressing instant noodle sandwich. They give you hope. They make you believe that no matter how bad your meals sometimes are, you could still get a Michel star for them if you would compare them to some of the worst atrocities that have ever landed on a plate. Continue scrolling and check out what I mean for yourself!

Britain Invaded Half The World For Spices And Decided They Didn’t Like Any Of Them

If you are wondering where the heck did we get all of these images, the answer is shittyfoodporn. This subreddit was created all the way back in 2012 and over the years it has become the archive of unappealing food pics. With over 1.7 million members, it's impossible to imagine it dying out, too.

The pandemic, however, might reduce the number of submissions the subreddit receives. They say practice makes perfect and coronavirus is really making Americans cook. In one recent survey, 54 percent of respondents said they cook more than before the pandemic, while 75 percent said they have become more confident in the kitchen and 51 percent said they will continue to cook more after the crisis ends.

Ant that's a good thing. On average, those who frequently cook at home eat less fat and sugar than other people; many restaurants and food companies use so much of these ingredients in their recipes, home cooks just can't keep up.

I guess the big question is whether or not we will return to our previous ways once everything goes back to normal. Let's just hope that our palates will have experienced a reset and our hands would have acquired enough skill to retain our new eating and cooking habits. At least a little bit.

LMAO. "Eat a box of d***s!" is a bit rude to say to vegans, though.

Just needs some sauce, some onions and peppers maybe, a little bit of extra flavor, etc. Doesn't look that bad, IMO. It's still totally edible as is, though

I mean, if you're a coeliac and you don't like the gluten free bread that's available to you, this is pretty much your other option.

Yeah, I eat a ton of rice cakes too.. Gluten free bread is.. meh.. (and crazy expensive), so unless you have a toaster (toasting makes GF bread better).. this is a pretty decent option.

After 5 years of having to eat gluten-free, and eating rice cakes almost every day. I still prefer rice cakes over gluten-free bread, it is much much cheaper but it tastes amazing and like 10.000 times better than gluten-free bread. (To be honest when I still could eat gluten I hardly ever ate bread, most of the lunches I fed myself with rice cakes or noodles (which I miss))

Actually, I love rice cakes therefore for me this sandwich isn't depressing at all. Also it's low in calories so it's good for a weight loss.

Back when I was on a gluten-free diet due to intestinal difficulties, there were no other options! I ate a LOT of rice cakes! My mom was still alive then & she made me a birthday cake from a stack of rice cakes "frosted" with cream cheese. I loved it & the love she gave me by making it.

I've see way worse, both in this BP post and IRL. With some good mustard on it, that wouldn't be half bad, IMO.

they should have toasted the rice cake lightly- then it would not be as bad.

If I was a cook, I'd make an awesome lunch for him. You never know whether or not someone always has food to eat. But then again, don't assume. Ask, if they say no, then it was worth a try.

It's only recently we hear about 'gluten free' or the 'need' for it. does anyone else think the problem is in the processing, or maybe all the poisons they put in the growing field?

This is akin to ordering a diet Coke with a Big Mac. Luncheon meat is not only high in sodium, the preservatives are not healthy either.

My nephew eats ramen like that (minus the bread) as a snack sometimes. He says that some Japanese snacks are similar to those noodles.
