What's the worst thing you ever cooked?

I cant believe I'm about to admit this. But once upon a time I couldnt cook a thing. It has taken a lot of trials and experimenting to become an ok cook.
Ok here we go. When I first moved into my home in 2007, my wife bought me a gas grill. I had never used one or ever grilled in my life. So I went to the store and bought some baby back ribs and some beer. I cut the ribs up into two-bone portions and marinated them in the beer and then threw them on the grill on high heat for about 30 min until they were charred. I fricked those ribs up. I've come a long way since then. I have a couple of threads on here on things I ve grilled since then.
Here's my smoked tri tips thread.

I walked in my house and saw what my MIL had prepped for dinner...took a picture and left. I can imagine this to be the worst tasting dish, had I tried it, ever.
ETA: Even though there was two kinds of salt and two kinds of pepper within arms reach, that ground meat was unseasoned.

many years ago, during a football fall Saturday I destroyed what would have been a great seafood gumbo.
Apparently I cant taste salt when drinking Jack...it was bad

Crock pot cashew chicken. Recipe sounded good, and I followed it exactly.
Lesson learned: cashews taste disgusting when they cook for a long time. The recipe also had too much celery, not enough flavor, and the boneless chicken breast pieces were dry. Dry, bland chicken with mushy, mealy cashews. I ate about 3 bites and then threw the whole thing away.

A crock pot potato soup. Don't know what happened but it was really gross

Hard to say, I've jacked up a bunch of food. I charcoal briquetted a chuck roast just last weekend on the smoker. But besides burning meat a squirrel mulligan comes to mind from back in my college days. I had no idea what I was doing, and the end result was completely inedible.

I made a peanut butter and tuna fish sandwich before.
Never again.
Also one of the first batches of chili I ever made I put waaaaaaaaay too much spice and salt. It wasn't very edible. But I was in college and wasn't about to throw away all that food. For a week I struggled through that stuff

Tried to make an Indian cauliflower with rice dish. Came out tasting like potpourri and had the consistency of a wet sponge. Seriously. The amount of butter the cauliflower soaked up was absolutely disgusting.

I've had plenty of missteps along the way, but sometimes that's what it takes.
By far my worst, was when I was trying to make meatballs in a parmesan cream sauce. Ended up curdling pretty awful.

I made a lamb roast once that looked beautiful, but tasted like fish.

I tried to cook jambalaya on a stove in my tiny NYC apartment. It literally came out green. Not sure how that happened.

I tried to make a pasta carbonara. I burned the pancetta and instead of having a velvety egg and cream sauce, I had pasta with lumps of scrambled egg in it. It was pretty awful.

OMG I did this exact thing.
I hated it.
Worst thing I ever made was Crawfish Napoleon with fried green tomatoes in the place of eggplant.
It called for mashed anchovies, and they overpowered everything. Whole dish tasted like rotted fish. Disgusting.
It was very beautiful too :(

Tried to make homemade potato gnocchi. A truly sad display.
Nearly lost a girlfriend and my Itlian heritage over it.

All my big failures have involved baking.....a notable failure was a cooked caramel icing that seized up in the pot so bad, I had to soak it for an hour in hot water just to pry out the wooden spoon I'd used to stir it. Also put some mustard greens on the stove, went outside, and returned to find the house full of something equivalent to a chemical weapon wafting from those greens. Actually had to throw away the pot.
