REVEALED: The internet’s most unhinged recipe reviews

You have to crack a few eggs to make an omelet, but if you’re short a few eggs and don’t even like omelets then maybe leaving a scathing comment online will help.

Sometimes even the best laid plans go awry, and if you have found a great recipe and plan to make it, it can be disappointing for it not to work out.

Rather than taking it as a learning experience, some hot-headed cooks use it as an opportunity to declare war on the recipe, or even the person who posted it online, instead of having a much needed look at who may be actually responsible for the culinary disaster.

In a hilarious thread, titled , users have posted the snarkiest and silliest comments left by people who chose not to follow a recipe – but were still furious it hadn’t worked out.

The responses have left readers in stitches with most in disbelief at how many people fail to follow simple instructions – or realize they may be the ones who messed it up.

One showed a slow cooked beef recipe, which one woman changed so much she made a whole new dish.

The enthusiastic cook published a five-star review, calling the dish ‘delicious’ and listing her substitutes – which included using ground turkey for rump roast, ketchup instead of soy sauce and eating it over an open hamburger bun rather than on rice.

In response, a confused person wrote: ‘Not even remotely the same recipe… weird.’

Some low-starred ratings were left on donut recipes by people that said they don’t actually like doughy treats at all as others asked which steps to skip to ensure the recipe would still work.

‘I never know which corners you can cut and which steps are essential,’ they complained. 

Other oblivious chefs have showed they are determined to follow a recipe – even if their least favorite foods are named in the dish’s title.

‘I don’t enjoy much bell pepper, I’ll have to find a replacement for it, but don’t mind what,’ a person wrote under a recipe for bell pepper soup.

‘It’s a bell pepper soup,’ a user shot back. ‘If you don’t like bell pepper don’t make a bell pepper soup.’ 

Others simply questioned why you would go to the effort of making food, ‘when you could just buy it.’

Some bizarrely complained about the lack of compatibility between recipes for human and dogs.

In a recipe for chicken gravy, a disgruntled dog owner gave it a low one-star rating, listing salt, pepper and especially onion as the offensive items as they’re bad for dogs.

‘Other ingredients are fine to use and the gravy will still taste good to your dog,’ they continued. 

‘Also, whenever I boil chicken, I save the broth for later use in my dog meals.’ 

Recipe reviews aren’t limited to complaining about why a recipe didn’t work, with one woman’s go-to brownie recipe coming with a special ingredient – adultery.

She explained that the recipe in question had been her favorite for ’30 years’ before diving into a tale of heartbreak.

‘In the 80s, an acquaintance in Germany to whom I brought some of the brownies, and who considered herself a great cook, asked for the recipe but was never able to make it work.

‘She kept asking me what she was doing wrong and I was never able to solve her problem,’ the scorned woman continued. 

‘Eventually she moved to the US and stole my husband!’
