There's a fine line between culinary genius and unhinged food disasters. For those who are enthused over fine dining, the combination of fig, goat cheese, and a balsamic reduction is a delight, but when uncivilized chefs steal the spotlight, they tweak one little ingredient and set the kitchen alight. Suddenly our fig, goat cheese, and peppermint reduction seems more disgusting than it is appetizing. 

Now, I know I'm no chef, but I can recognize a delicious-looking meal when I see one–and these are NOT it. Unfortunately for the dinner tables below, eaters were astounded by the horrors that graced their plates. So if you've ever felt insecure about your own cooking skills, don't worry, there's always someone way worse than you are. Scroll to grimace at the unappetizing meals below and be thankful that our phones don't have smellevision yet. 

Up next, here's a hilarious collection of some of the worst haircuts we've ever seen!

KFC South Korea has launched a new sauce that takes away the middleman, allowing you to have a hit of sweet with your savoury chicken and fries.
