Salt problem.I just don't handle that situation right.
I remember making sardine egg when i was like 10.I packed salt into the bowl and mixed it.Oh boy,it was just salt i fried that day and was nasty as hell
Now but not too bad,egg problem i have resolved but i keep forgetting to add salt to rice,spaghetti, whoa thank God i don't make my sauce because the combination will be wack.

Mine happened when I was 8 years old. I think I should rephrase it as my first cooking expedition! . My sista and I thot we could cook stew as sweet as our mums. so we stole some grinded tomatoe, onion and pepper combination from the fridge. Actually started frying it on fire with all the seasonings complete. I then suggested that to give it that sweet taste like mum's we should add five cubes of sugar!  You can imagine how the stew tasted after that!

This happened way back in secondary school,I invited a friend of mine over for an afternoon meal of rice with sauce.The rice came out fine but the sauce was actually green,till today I don't know what happened even the dog wouldn't touch it.
a funnier one happened with my cousin who added too much salt to the okro soup and thought she could add sugar to reduce the effect of the salt,man was it one salty sweet experience.

Was so annoyed becso I woke up most people living in my apt complex, and busy bodies were just asking if the house was on fire

lol, all the responses are pricless.
My own is too much to count.
But this was the most embarrassing.
I went to an ex-boyfriend's house to cook for him (without it he would starve or spend $100.00 per wook buying naija food at a restaurant).
I cooked ogbono soup with bitter leaf, but didn't let the bitter leaf (dried) sit in the hot water long enough. Well the food came out bitter. I kept adding salt to counter, even bigger mistake.
He was such a good sport, he pat me in the back and said "you tried". He ate it though.

i once tried to blend beans with a blender to prepare akara because i was damn hungry for it. my neighbour came with her kids and praised me so well before i even started saying she would love to have a taste.Hmp! when i had finished frying it, it was soooooo ROUGH in the mouth i felt i was eating ground nut with it. The blender did a baaaad work. I shamefully told my neighbour she couldnt have a taste.

MY COOKING MISTAKES ARE AN EVERYDAY THING. D DAY I COOK A FOOD THAT IS EATABLE, MY MUM WILL BE SO RELIEVED THAT SHE WILL CALL MY UNCLES/AUNTIES 2 MAKE SURE THEY KNOW I CAN COOK .
ONE DAY, GUESS MY FAMILY IS JUST CRAZY, BUT THEY DECIDED I SHOULD COOK. MY COUSINS FIANCE CAME IN 4RM HIS COMPANY IN LAG TO MY FAMILY HOME AND THEY DECIDED I SHOULD COOK. OF COURSE MY MOM STARTED BRAGGING ABOUT HOW ALL HER KIDS ARE D BEST COOKS , AFTER D FOOD WAS READY, D SMELL ALONE ATTRACTED EVERYONE 2 D DINING TABLE, WHEN THEY TASTED D FOOD, MEN, IT WAS AN APOLOGY  . DAYS LATER MY COUSIN AND HER BOO BROKE UP, I STILL REMEMBER THAT PARTICULAR ONE BECOS MY COS LIKD D GUY ONLY 4R MY COOKING 2 DRIVE HIM AWAY. BUT THEN AGAIN HOW COULD THEY BE STUPID ENOUGH 2 ASK PEOPLE WHO VIRTUALLY ARE FED AND CLOTHED BY HOUSEHELPS TO COOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

@ POSTER, MINE RUNS IN D FAMILY, MY BROTHER ONCE ON HIS RARE OCCASIONS TRIED 2 IMPRESS HIS GIRLFRIEND BY COOKING 4 HER. ONLY PROBLEM IS HE ENDED UP ADDING KEROSINE 2 D RICE INSTEAD OF OIL . EVERYONE WAS SO MAD BECOS HE PREVENTED US 4RM COOKING ONLY 2 COOK UP SOMETHING LIKE THAT . D GIRL WAS A GOOD SPOT SHE EVEN LAUGHED HER HEAD OFF, BUT I GUESS SHE MUST HAVE EATEN SOME FOOD IN HER NORMAL FAMILY'S HOUSE, UNLIKE US. ANY MAN WHO DECIDE'S 2 MARRY US HAD BETTER PREPARE HIMSELF 4 AN ARMLOAD OF SERVANTS. I EVEN HAVE ONE TO COOK AND D OTHER 2 DO EVERYTHING WHENEVER I WANT HER TO. DONT TELL ME I KNOW WE ARE CRAZY

wow. . . . . you guys are just so hilarious!! fbby u sef! & to think the bulk of these were by females ehn! I've always wondered why fast food outlets still remain in d market. . I now know why can't really remember any specifics but if they do happen, one thing I'm good at is fixing them 'because if there's anything I'm good at, it's fixing stuffs . , .they don't always need to be thrown away like most of you have been doing. . . there are always ways to make them better, though the meal might be delayed a little. . . . . nowadays I dnt really go to d kitchen except I,m invited by my sis to help fix some similar misputs/miscooks etc
