Don't you know that it is always best to finish whatsoever it is that you have started?

My first attempt at making white amala, I was very young then.
I became impatient as the kerosene stove was too slow for my liking because water reaching boiling point was taking forever.
Summary: Instead of amala, what I made that day was a mess and I got some serious spankings as a result.

Burnt offering...

As it was in the days of Noah.

[And] the odour of the sacrifice pleased the Lord. Gen. 8:21
A Bible passage to support it. Like seriously? grin

i don't know if this counts as food but when I was younger,
I wanted to make tea. I saw Nescafe, I thought it was the same as Milo
Brothers and Sisters I packed like 4 big spoons into the tea cup.
the thing was fvcking bitter. I added one full peak milk and more than
10 cubes of sugar, still it was fvcking bitter. I had to force myself to drink at least half of it
because I couldn't waste the peak milk like that

Two occasions both with soap.

1. Used detergent instead of salt.
We washed the rice and ate it. Back then school.

2. Used this yellow liguid morning fresh to fry egg. So I noticed the egg wasn't rising inside the pot.
I went back to carry the same soap. I wanted to pour more only to discover I played myself .
Hunger kill me that day

Not good o.
Not healthy at all.
Will catch up with you later in life.

Some have trained their taste buds now to only tolerate little or no salt.

Later in life... sad

I thought I had switched off the stove while stepping out of the house for a quick errand. When I returned, well, smoke welcomed me at the door & needless to say, the meal was cremated. I begrudgingly ate a sandwich for dinner that night.

My neighbour used cockroach to cook beans for the family. He was not aware as the cockroach died inside the bottle of palm oil that he used for the beans.

And he cooked the food in the dark o. It was while they were eating the food that one of his brothers asked where the crayfish he is eating came from. Mind you, they didn't use crayfish o. (the brother had already eaten part of the cockroach in the food).

The rest is history.

Our liquid soap was golden yellow, same colour as vegetable oil.
I was gisting and distracted, so I poured more 'oil' in the stew. I noticed the stew was 'foaming', then I realised I used liquid soap for the stew.
It was not funny o
