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.

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.

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

I baked some thick cut pork chops last night to oblivion. They were basically inedible. I didn't have my electric meat thermometer and with a toddler running around, I can't check them every 5 minutes.
Pissed me off because they were some beautiful pork chops. I hate that I ruined them.

Monkfish
Thought I could just sautee it like any other fish filet. It is very finnicky. Overcooked it and wow it came out horrible. It was like gnawing on rubber with a subtle off flavor. We threw it away.

I like to add fresh spinach to my Italian meat sauce, forgot to pick some up so I ran to the little country store down the road, of course there was no fresh spinach so I saw a can of spinach & thought "what the hell, I'll give it a try". It literally turned my meat sauce green & it tasted like grass. If you've ever seen what a water trough looks like after cows who've been eating green clover looks like, then you know what my meat sauce with canned spinach looked like. Dogs ate like kings for the next couple of days.

I've burned fried fish and damn near served raw fried chicken. I've also had one or two jambalayas give me fits by not cooking evenly.
