Cursed Foods to Bring Your Inner Chef to Tears
Cooking is supposed to be comforting. You chop, you stir, you toss stuff in a pan, and suddenly you’re convinced you’re one basil leaf from greatness. Until one cursed experiment reminds you your kitchen isn’t a sanctuary, it’s the setting for a culinary felony.
Maybe it was sardines with yogurt. Maybe grandma “updated” her casserole, and the dog refused to smell it. Every household has that memory, the one that makes you side-eye paprika like it’s armed and extremely volatile.
