24 Unusual, Ugly And Upsetting Meals

Being a responsible adult comes with one very difficult task — making your own meals every day. We've all had our fair share of very unsatisfying and likely equally unhealthy meals in our times. They can't all be winners, unfortunately, and besides, we aren't all trained chefs. Whether something needs to be made out of pure desperation or it simply goes horribly wrong in the cooking process, there are times when your food will come out looking entirely inedible, resulting in what makes up Reddit's food communities.
