Everyone can cook! this sentence motivates us to cook the most delicious and beautiful dishes in few hours, for which the chefs have wasted their days. Every day we stumble across mouthwatering dishes and feel confident enough to give it a go, because we can easily have all the ingredients and guides to cook almost anything. However, having all the ingredients and how-to videos, is not enough.

Here are some of the funniest examples of food expectation vs reality to make you feel that you’re not alone. After all, we all need some encouragement. From adorable rice bear that look like mummy to to Santa shaped bread that look like an octopus, these dishes make you wonder if someone was brave enough to eat them.
