They wouldn't be starving if they would get a job or become cannibals.

WTF are you doing? I literally can't remember the last time I ruined food so bad I had to throw it way. I don't think I ever had to, there is almost always some way to salvage it. Even if you have really, really hopelessly oversalted/overseasoned something you can just make another batch without salt or seasoning, then mix the two batches.

Then you make another batch without salt and mix that shit up.

Already added a bunch of water to nearly the brim of my largest pot. Didn't have the ingredients for my normal soup so I improvised and it came out way too salty to eat. Also pretty sure i burned it. I think not even those African children would eat it. I just had some microwaved kraft dinner and it was way better and took like 3 minutes

I know that feeling, OP. I make stirfry 3 or 4 times a week and cook enough that I leftovers for lunch the next couple of days. This time I thought I'd try something a little different, and added lentils to the dish. No matter how much oyster sauce, fish sauce, sweet and light soy sauce I used, all I could taste was lentils. Really disappointed with this one.
Whole lot went straight into the compost bin.
That is why you always keep a couple of these babies in the fridge at all times just in case.
