What is it? Well, it looks like a bunch of ugly burger patties stacked on top of each other, with a bunch of brains sitting on top and plopping down the middle. Brain burger cake?

Ew! Apparently, this is ‘chicken alfredo pasta’, but it looks more like a bunch of pasta pieces sitting in a pile of glue, or milk, or cream, or… we don’t even want to think about this anymore. Either way, it’s disgusting!

No, no, no. This is not a ‘sick dinner’ at all, unless you mean it will make people feel sick just from looking at it! We hope the personal responsible for this never cooks it for a loved one.

This was someone’s first attempt at corn pudding. We all make mistakes on our first try, but this is a real disaster! Normally, we’d say “Try again!”, but in this case, we think you should really just stop.

Okay, we can see a baked potato, we can see the cheese, and we see the broccoli too, but the steak? Is that ugly, carbonized shape at the bottom supposed to be a steak? Wow. This proves that even when meals are made with love, it doesn’t always make them tasty!

All around the world, countless people look forward to Christmas dinner. It’s the highlight of the day for a lot of people, with all of their favorite foods together in one place. Well, you’d better hope you never get invited to this house for the festive season.

Ew. Maybe your great grandma might have enjoyed eating chitterlings (pig guts) back when they were fewer options available, but nowadays, we really can do a lot better! And putting them on tacos is just disgusting.

This must be how Kim K preserves her flawless figure. Apparently, she’s not much of a cook, and even though we’ve been staring at this picture a long time, we still can’t figure out what she’s making!

They say that love is blind. Well, it must have no sense of taste either! Someone’s partner made them this disgusting yellow slop with a side of roasted tentacles and they called it delicious.

Breakfast in bed can be a nice treat to make for someone, and it’s always lovely when you get woken up by your loved ones with tasty food to enjoy on a lazy morning. But if they served you a plate that looked like this, you might just want to dive right out of bed and say you’re not hungry.

Modern bistros and classy restaurants play around with serving styles and presentation in their dishes, breaking the rules of cuisine with their innovative ideas. It looks like this person tried to do the same, serving their ‘creation’ in a broken styrofoam cup. But it just looks like someone vomited onto a plate.

Get ready to see a whole lot of sliced cheese casually tossed onto the top of things and barely given time to melt throughout this list. It seems to be the favorite tool of every awful cook.

This person at least deserves a little respect for making an effort with their recipe, mixing up refried beans, empanadas, and salsa, but the results do not look appetizing at all!

We have no idea what’s going on here. It looks like a chicken fell into some quicksand and is slowly fading away into the abyss. Is someone actually supposed to eat this, or is it just some kind of weird voodoo chicken burial?

Mac ‘n’ cheese is a timeless classic and it’s actually super easy to cook. It’s a really basic recipe, but somehow, the person responsible for this mix got it all wrong, doing way too much sauce or failing to cook the pasta right so it didn’t actually absorb any of it.

We’ll let you try and guess what this is. Go for it. Any ideas? Okay, we’ll help out: it’s chocolate chip cookies! They were left in the oven way too long and the dough pieces were placed too close together, causing them all to merge into one big, burned mess.

Imagine if you were dining at someone’s house and asked them to pass the gravy. Then they hand you this. How are you supposed to react? Yes, that really is supposed to be gravy, even though it looks like a kind of eggy mess filled with crumbs.

According to the caption posted alongside this picture, it’s supposed to be ‘Cornbread Stuff’. Well, it certainly qualified as ‘stuff’, but it looks more like a tray full of dirt than cornbread.

Whoever made this mess really shouldn’t be let loose in a kitchen ever again. Clearly, it was supposed to be some kind of mac ‘n’ cheese, but they tossed in a whole mess of peas and the pasta just looks so shiny on top and so dry underneath.

Thanksgiving dinner is many people’s favorite food moment of the year. Delicious turkey, perfectly cooked veggies, yummy pecan pie for dessert, it has it all. Unfortunately, not every family is capable of cooking a super Thanksgiving meal. Some of them make things like this instead.

Here we are again with the sliced cheese, thrown on some soggy bread and tossed in a microwave to go all gross and wrinkly. Why would anyone do this?

It’s nice to try and make something tasty for your loved one on Valentine’s Day, and we hope whoever received this meal appreciated the effort their partner made. Unfortunately, even though the steak looks a little like a heart, it also looks totally inedible! They cooked it way too long.

Another romantic soul decided to make breakfast in bed for their partner, and the guy actually went online and shared a photo of this thing. This image truly does not deserve the hashtags #yum and #drooling!

Someone was feeling bold when they decided to whip up some homemade sangria, a classic Spanish punch made from red wine and chopped fruit. Unfortunately, it really doesnt’ look too great and we’re not sure what ‘fruit’ this person used. Looks more like a stew than sangria!

Is this even edible? What is it? Where did it come from? Why did anyone think it should be called food? And why would someone decide to take a photo and proudly upload their creation to the internet? So many questions!

It’s nice that the salon offers wine and cheese while you get a massage or pedicure, but… sliced cheese singles? Really?

Someone happily uploaded this image, boasting that it was the perfect way to “get a man and keep a man”, but we have no idea what they’re so proud about. Jerk chicken is delicious when cooked right, but this is just a burned, black mess.

Again, it’s nice and cute and sweet that someone would take the time to try and make a steak for their lover on Valentine’s Day, but if this is the best you can do, maybe you should just book a table at a restaurant instead?

Looks like this person forgot that food, especially meat, needs to be cooked before we actually eat it. Instead, they served up some raw chicken thighs alongside a bunch of ugly yellow mush.

Veganism is on the rise and there are actually plenty of amazing vegan recipes out there and meat-free alternatives to popular dishes. This isn’t one of them! Putting a few slices of clementine in a taco does not make it a ‘shrimp taco’.

Believe it or not, this is supposed to be a turkey. It looks more like a big hunk of wood or a bunch of crumpled-up paper left on a grill for five hours. What a waste!

The only good thing we can say about this tragic Thanksgiving dish is that it’s colorful. Apart from that, it’s just a mess. It looks like the ‘cook’ had no idea what they were doing, just tossing random things into the dish and hoping for the best.

What a sad looking plate. And the person who had to eat it must have been even sadder.

Many families enjoy tacos on a weekly basis, but this family should just stop or at least get take-out tacos from a local restaurant, because this really isn’t right! We need a glass of water just from looking at that super dry meat.

Some ingredients just don’t go together, especially when it comes to pizza! We all have our views on pineapple pizzas, but everyone can agree that this hot mess – a pizza completely covered in boiled egg bits – should never be made again.

Did we crash land on an alien planet? What is this? Why are those noodles fluorescent green? And what’s that gross puddle of mess sitting on top of them. We don’t want anything to do with this dish.

If you’re cooking a red meat, like beef, you can actually enjoy it ‘rare’ or ‘medium’, with a bit of pinkness in the middle. Chicken doesn’t work like that, people! It needs to be cooked all the way through.

This plate is just a mess to look at. There’s so much going on, it looks like the leftovers from five different awful meals all got mushed together. And that sad little plastic spoon on the side just makes it so much worse.

This is so bad it just hurts to look at. What is even going on here? Beans, spaghetti, pickles!? And of course, the classic bad cook favorite: a slice of processed cheese sitting at the bottom with no real purpose whatsoever.

This is what you make when you literally have no other food left in the house and no way of getting to a store. Two pieces of bread and a little breaded piece of chicken. How depressing.

Here, we can see someone trying way too hard. They’re doing their best Gordon Ramsay impersonation, thinking that their ugly food will sound tastier if they describe all the ingredients in detail and use phrases like “a sprinkle of sea salt”. We can see through all of that. You smashed some avocado and put strawberries on top. That’s all. And it’s horrible.

The whole of Mexico just shuddered from looking at this photo. This awful, hideous dish should never be described as ‘nachos’.

Again, we have some crazy person who thinks that chicken doesn’t need to be cooked properly and can be eaten basically raw. That’s how you get salmonella, kids.

What was it!? What was it supposed to be?! It looks like a deformed sumo wrestler gingerbread man with a bacon diaper. Put this thing back in the oven and let it burn!

What do you do when you’re missing an ingredient? You find the next best alternative, right? So, if you don’t have crabs, use peanuts!

Whoever made this mess and called it a ‘lasagna’ really should never be allowed to cook again. The cheese slices (yes, those are cheese slices, according to the caption) have almost gone green and the whole thing just looks so bad!

Oh no. No, no, and no again. What is this person thinking!? They wrote in the caption that people season their chicken in the sink, so it’s fine to prepare a potato salad in there too! First off, that sink is utterly disgusting and seriously needs to be cleaned, and secondly, what are you thinking!?

We all know cinnamon buns. They have that classic, distinctive shape that everyone loves. Definitely not like the dog turds on this tray. Not too bad for a ‘first attempt’, but you really need to improve on the second attempt!

Have we been transported to some kind of parallel dimension? How did anyone think that this was a fine and normal recipe idea? Someone should call the cops if they ever see the person responsible for this in a kitchen ever again.

No, eating ‘medium rare chicken strips’ is not ‘clean eating’. Medium rare chicken strips don’t even exist because chicken can’t be cooked medium rare! Please stop with this nonsense, everybody. You’re putting yourselves in danger.

Believe it or not, there is actually something under that horrible, processed cheese. There’s a little layer of potato and some meat too. It’s basically supposed to be a traditional English cottage pie, but something went terribly wrong.

Peanuts can work with chicken. Satay is great. But covering chicken wings in peanut butter and then serving them alongside ‘grape jelly blue cheese’, whatever that is, is really not a good idea.

Someone clearly though they were oh so clever when they came up with the idea of the inverted hot dog. They used the dog itself as the bun, slicing it open and putting bits of bread inside. It’s a mess, it’s stupid, and it should never be made again.

Here we have a fascinating example of a dish that nobody can quite understand. You can stare at the picture as long as you like, but you’ll never be able to figure out what this was supposed to be. It’s no surprise they decided to order pizza instead.

We’re shaking our head at this one all day long. The caption beside the image says “Bologna Cake”. Yes, someone though that it would be a good idea to bake a cake filled up with sausage. Ew.

The sliced cheese strikes again! Those hash browns might not have been so bad to begin with, but then the ugly little square of shiny yellow cheese just ruins the whole look of the plate.

Tacos are supposed to be fun, filled up with delicious veggies, sauces, cheeses, and meats. This person totally ruined that, basically using a tortilla as a plate for their messy salad.

This is how hot dogs should not be made. The cheese hasn’t melted (because it’s those gross squares again) and the onions badly balanced on top just look messy.

If you love carbs, we’ve got the perfect meal for you! Someone filled this plate up with different kinds of pasta, bread, rice, corn, and other random mushy pastes to create a whole buffet of badness in just one meal.

Grits might be old fashioned but can be tasty when well-made. These grits, however, have not been well made. Someone thought that putting a slice of cheese in the center would make them better. It doesn’t.

Hey, if you want to boost your blood pressure to unhealthy levels and give yourself a cholesterol kick, go ahead and chow down on this hot cheesy mess.

Looks like someone ran out of actual food so decided to simply grab a can of their pet pup’s favorite mush and plop it out onto a plate.

How hard is it to just buy a bag of grated cheese and give it a little time to melt? Apparently, it’s way too hard for some people. The omelet actually looks pretty good, but that cheese ruins everything.

You know what goes well with peaches? Cream. You know what doesn’t go well with peaches? Beans.

When you’re cooking, the number one rule is to actually cook the food. You don’t just leave it for a few minutes near something hot and then serve it up to your friends! Nothing about this plate actually looks cooked.

Why? Why would you ruin a perfectly good piece of apple pie by putting sliced cheese on top? Apparently, this is a popular dessert in some areas, but you’re supposed to use proper cheddar, not processed slices.

Once again, we see some hideous cheese squares sitting atop a bowl of grits. They look so shiny, it seems like someone even forgot to take the plastic off!

It’s fine to keep leftovers of many meals. Letting food go to waste is never a good thing, especially with so many hungry people out there, but putting your spaghetti in something like this is just gross.

Someone heard about loaded fries and decided to give it a try… by putting a single slice of cheese over their fries and letting it melt just a little bit. Oh dear.

This ‘culinary mastermind’ decided to grab some canned spaghetti and pour out the contents into soft-shell tacos. They actually presented them nicely in this little flower-style shape, but no matter how you serve this, it’s never going to be nice to eat.

Another struggle slice makes an appearance on this plate. Some of the food here doesn’t look all that bad, just a little simple. But then the slice comes along and totally ruins the dish.

We don’t know what this is. We don’t know what it was supposed to be. And frankly, we don’t want to know anything else about it!

Someone must have thought they were pretty clever making a ‘vegan lasagna’ using nothing but lettuce and tomato. This is the exact opposite of ‘tasty’.

One of the keys to cooking is making sure you time everything just right. If you leave something just a little too long in the oven, it might be ruined. If you leave it way too long, it ends up looking like this.

A hot dog, in a cotton candy bun, covered with actual candy. This is why so many people have health issues!
