The fact that I've just submitted my penultimate piece of coursework before the xmas hols has been entirely overshadowed by the fact that I can't find a carton of apple juice that I bought yesterday. The term 'gutted' does really not do it justice.
I feel your pain. I once cooked a huge plate of spaghetti and as I was walking over to the couch it all slid off the plate . And I mean all of it, allover my dirty mouse-dropping ridden floor. I still ate it mind .
Made the Queen of Puddings for miniOT and went to take it out the oven when the bowl slipped onto my wrist and I had to just drop it on the floor. That was 12 months ago and she still tells me off to this day when I get a cake out5 the oven.
That must've been devastating. You can admit that you cried, we're all friends here! I wish I had a fiver for every time I've spent ages chopping veg only to put it all in the bin and keep all the odds and ends that I cut off .
Was a chef for 10 years so burns on the forearms and hands don't really hurt much anymore but I did cry like a little girl when the Tempura squid I was making exploded in the pan of oil and went into my eye. Rinsed and flushed under cold water for about 20 minutes and had to see a doctor about the blister on the eyeball. Never made Tempura squid again.
Well I wanted to know what an eyeball blister would look like (pretty much as I expected) but I really wish I hadn't searched it as my eyes are streaming now. I've only ever had squid once, but I've been vegetarian for a long time now so won't be trying it again any time soon. Like most people I thought it was an onion ring, only to bite into and think "****ing chewy onion this one!".
That's just silly! Though, to be honest, I always walk in from the kitchen with a plate of food with the constant fear of me dropping it. Not sure what I'd do if it happened. Panic over, by the way. I found the apple juice
Last winter I braved the -20C outdoor blizzard to get a frozen pizza because I was starving and hadn't been arsed to get proper food. Finally make it home, the plastic wrap wouldnt come off the pizza so I gave it a massive stretch/rip and it went flying open and the frozen pizza smashed against the wall into about 5 big pieces and plenty more small ones. Worst night ever.
Hell yes. I gave the remains a quick dust and jigsawed it roughly back together. It spewed cheese all over the inside of the oven and I essentially ended up having a lump of ingredients on burnt bread. Still ate it though.
Once did something similar with a meatloaf. My worst food accident ever was when I first burnt rice, and my gf was coming around for tea. I had to make up some excuse as to why we couldn't go into the house, and we ended up at some random chippy where the guy serving us had a tattoo which said "**** and Proud". Weird.
