Thread: Cooking: the unsatisfactory, the dangerous, the unusual, the weird ass.

I came one day and my flatmate was cooking a whole chicken. In the microwave. Wasn't flash but we ate it because 18 year old uni students are the lowest form of life.

Same flat: Got shitfaced and did a hangi with petrol. Didn't eat that one, but as a result we later had somewhere to bury the neighbours cat that same flatmate skittled in the driveway by accident.

Using baking powder instead of baking soda, in a chocolate cake recipe. Could have used it as a retread for a 777.

Using salt instead of sugar....

At a young age, learning about chilli powder. And how much not to put in....

Cooking paua.

At a older age, using turmeric, and learning a little is OK.... (that stuff really tastes like dirt - but it's good for you she said...)
