Estimated Price: $0*
What transpired was a badly burned dinner.
We're going to speculate that this was some kind of fish and chips dinner (at least, we can see the French fries), but it's difficult to know given that the food appears to have been prepared over the flames of Mordor.

Is food burned beyond saving? Occasionally, you can use garlic, white wine, or red wine to cover up the charred taste. Nevertheless, this meal is not worth keeping. Not even Captain America was able to revive it.
8. Pasta Mishap
Estimated Price: $5*
The scene was set for a delightful evening. The housemates gathered in the kitchen, the aroma of garlic and herbs wafting through the air as they prepared a delicious pasta dinner. The anticipation was palpable; everyone was looking forward to a hearty meal that would bring them together after a long day. However, the night took an unexpected turn when the pasta, the star of the dish, became stuck to the pan.
The poster, who shared this unfortunate incident on Bored Panda and Pinterest, recounted the events with a mix of frustration and humor. They explained that while pasta is a budget-friendly meal—costing around $5—the mishap was still incredibly aggravating. The sight of the pasta clinging stubbornly to the pan was enough to dampen anyone's spirits, especially when hunger was involved.
Upon closer inspection of the photos shared, it was evident that the culprit was a lack of oil. Cooking pasta might seem straightforward, but it requires a few essential steps to ensure success. One critical step is adding a bit of olive oil or another type of cooking oil to the boiling water. This simple addition helps prevent the noodles from sticking to each other and the bottom of the pan. Without it, the pasta tends to form a sticky, unappetizing mass, making it difficult to salvage the dish.
This pasta tragedy serves as a reminder of the importance of paying attention to cooking techniques, even for seemingly simple dishes. A little oil can make a big difference, turning a potential disaster into a delicious meal. So, next time you're cooking pasta, remember to add that splash of oil and stir occasionally to keep those noodles perfectly al dente and ready to be enjoyed.
