Mistakenly put "ground ogbonor" inside my egusi soup. . .thinking it was "ground crayfish". . . In the trash of course. . . no salvation for the meat, fish and all the rest of the gang inside that pot of "junk"! Everything turned to moulded slime right before my eyes in less than one minute!  |

They are many o!!! Once, i tried to bake meaat without marinating or cooking it, it turned out all brown and nice but was still red and raw inside. Another time, i attempted to make fried rice but the only type of rice available to me was some kind of chinese rice bullsh!t. I cant attempt to tell you how it turned out. Usually sha, whenever i cook, the kitchen ends up looking like a world war 2 scene. Remember a scene from UNFINISHED LIFE where Morgan Freeman said he didnt know humans ate snails. Snails ke? Na im sweet pass!!! |

This was 2 years ago, i was trying to impress some guy with my cooking skills so i decided to make moinmoin, In blending the beans, i forgot to peel off the skin after washing, the whole paste came out black, needless to say it never made it into the cooking pot |

my worst cooking experience was when i first came back from teh states. i wanted ot show off to my siblings so i decided to bake them a cake from scratch with out a recipe. anyway i went to the market and bought a whole tub of summer county butter and used the whole bucket thinking that it would end up tasting like butter pound cake. well when teh cake was done it smelt like heaven but when we cut into it, the inside was pure liquid. My mom was soo pissed because apparnetly summer county butter was expensive then, chai i was soo embarassed |

I once attempted making homemade pizza from scratch several years ago. I didn't know whether to spread butter on it and call it a giant cabin biscuit or to keep it under my pillow as a weapon to ward of intruders. The thing was hard like olumo rock |

[size=13pt]I prepared a very delicious pork meat. From miles away, the aroma cast spells on people but the catch was I prepared it with sugar instead of salt so it was sweet, very sweet. And I did that at my friends house who wants to impress his chick with his/my cooking  [/size] |

my first eva cooking mistake was the first time i eva cooked in my life, i was supposed to make beans (porridge) for dinner. hmmmm! i was so scared n nervous that by d time i was through; (1) the beans was not well cooked i.e. not as soft as my family loves it, (2) there wasn't enough salt in the food (3)was more like eba than bean porridge. (4) d food was so damn tasteless but anyway that was many years ago, these days i hardly make any cookin mistakes again. |

Mine was years ago. Like Scopium's friend, I wanted to impress my visiting boyfriend with my cooking skill  . Days previous to that I just heard from somewhere how garlic improves the taste and aroma of stew. So this day I boiled my few pieces of beef with pleeeeeeeenty garlic, thinking the more the better the result. I was so stupid I did not taste the meat before it was served, I only tasted the stew which was ok. Thank God Loverboy was the type that eats all the food before meat. He finished the rice and bit the first piece of meat.  It was as if he tasted acid the way he spat out  the meat and gave me one-kain look of ‘them send you to kill me?’. I had to 'confess' by explaining to him what 'experiment' I performed otherwise he might just think na juju I put for the meat. I still use garlic, but sparingly. |

I once attempted making homemade pizza from scratch several years ago. LOL!!! Been there, done that!  |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by ritapearl(f): 2:17pm On Apr 14, 2008 |
I put too much salt in the moi-moi i was making. Another day, i put too much water in the Yam porridge i was cooking.Now i'm very careful when adding extras. |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by achinu(m): 2:58pm On Apr 14, 2008 |
I think my bad cooking experience was when I first cooked some pepper-soup. I ended up putting way too much pepper in the soup and it ended being nothing but water and a whole lot of pepper! Foolish me. I decided to brave it and used the soup in eating some pounded yam, it wasn't funny that entire night as my stomach was on fire and remained restless! |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by Jansop: 4:02pm On Apr 14, 2008 |

| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by Ebonyj(f): 4:14pm On Apr 14, 2008 |
The first one was about 12 years ago when I cooked moinmoin without adding any salt because I was so scarred my mum would whoop my arse, I now rubbed salt on top of it, that got got me into bigger trouble my mum made me eat the whole batch of i think 12 cans of Blueband tins. lol. Second was when i was still dating my then boyfriend now my husband, I wanted to impress him by making peppersoup, God Almighty, the soup turned outr to be Hell soup, it was so bloody hot we could not even eat the meat in it, I ended up throwing the whole pot of soup out. lol Lastly , last year Christmas I was so distracted doing other things tat the rice ended up looking like rise paste plus my in- laws were around at teh time, can you imagine their shock, . |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by metodman(m): 4:26pm On Apr 14, 2008 |

I was just stooling all thru the night, Even the next day was so bad, There was even a time when i felt i should get a chair near the toilet It was later i got to know that it was not done properly.Anyway am now a professional |

1. my friend and i tried to prepare ewuro(bitter leaf) soup at school, so as required we rubbed the leaves wit salt b4 cooking to remove the bitterness. i guess we didnt rub it long enough for the soup was so bitter it tasted like ''agbo iba". but we gat chop now, so we added some suger, talk about a BITTER SWEET EXPERIENCE . literally 2.at another time , my patner in crime above, cooked one concoction rice , omo u nid see this rice to appreciate wetin i dey talk. water too much so tay e be like make u soak cooked rice inside water con dey drink am like gari. the maggi, pepper, tomatoes con dey float one one on top the rice broth. the most horrible part be say, we chop am |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by kingkams(m): 12:56pm On Apr 15, 2008 |
Ebonyj: She just thought the salt would sink into the moinmoin. Nice concept. Hell soup? God, i just cant stop laughing at that description. |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by phantah(f): 1:00pm On Apr 15, 2008 |
mine was the first time i fried akara (bean cakes), the thing just scattered in the oil that was years ago. my second attempt was much better, i think , the first batch i put in the oil didn't scatter but came out as burnt offering! i finally got a hang of it sha and my husband and i ate the thing live! |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by nossycheek(f): 4:20pm On Apr 15, 2008 |
from almondjoy Mistakenly put "ground ogbonor" inside my egusi soup. . .thinking it was "ground crayfish". . . That is another type of soup altogether ( egusi & ogbono aka Bachelor's soup) and can be very delicious from miss reese This was 2 years ago, i was trying to impress some guy with my cooking skills so i decided to make moinmoin, there is nothing wrong with this; yoruba call it ekuru (I have not eaten one sha) |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by krisunion: 6:00pm On Apr 15, 2008 |
While about preparing melon soup, I bought some palm oil, but decided to use the remainder I have at home, not knowing that it was spoilt. Tobe brief, after cooking, just couldnt eat the soup. It was awful! |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by mygal(f): 6:30pm On Apr 15, 2008 |
Mine was Egusi soup, my mum travelled, and then my father thinking i can do all things, bought all the ingredients and whoop! i cooked him egusi soup looking like beans soup. i over fried the Egusi and it was soo Bad. i was so embarrassed. lol |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by Laraba28: 3:17pm On Apr 16, 2008 |
Not my worst but the one i can remmeber. I was just trying to boil chicken and i mistakenly put to much curry, i thot it wouldn't be too bad, so i just continued, anyway i ended up having an unplanned indian cuisine that evening. |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by allboyz(m): 12:06pm On Apr 17, 2008 |
lol, i have never cooked or prepared any thing in my life except boiling water and my sis will make the Eba,or breaking the egg and my sis/Mum will fry for me or warming the soup, that's all i do in the kitchen, ohh, i also go there to steal some piece of meat, (that's in the past anyway) lol |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by omoovie(f): 5:27pm On Apr 17, 2008 |
Oh mennn! I've had a few bombs including one "egusi-esque" soup that a young man said, "dey warm belle". LOL. I think my worst mistake ever was putting potash and then granulated sugar into a pot of ogbono soup. Hahahah! It tasted like a combo of soap and whatever Elvira must have had in that pot! ROFL! But I've stepped up my game tremendously since my 10 yr old days. I get a lot of compliments on my cooking these days when I decide to cook. Tee hee! |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by Nobody: 6:56pm On Apr 17, 2008 |
I really do not know who sent us message. When we were younger my sister and I wanted to experiment with foods and we decided to fry groundnuts wrapped in bread in deep oil. The oil was too much but we ate it and ended up vomitting and feeling dizzy through out the day . |
| Re: Your Worst Cooking Mistake Ever! by Cadet(f): 11:36pm On Apr 17, 2008 |
Putting Rice on the stove after I just got home from school. I decided to lay on the couch for a few mins. Woke up to the sound of smoke alarm. Almost burned the house down |
