We believe in the phrase “Different strokes for different folks” as much as the next person, especially when it comes to food. That being said, some dishes and food combinations shouldn’t be allowed to exist. From Monster Energy pickles to burger parfaits, we hope most of these strange foods were one-time mistakes. We’re all for getting creative in the kitchen, but some of these dishes shared by people online will make you think twice the next time it’s your turn to cook dinner.
#1: Pasta Water Coffee?
For those who are not aware, pasta is starch. Once you’ve boiled it up, the water is no longer the H2O we all know and love; it’s starch water. I guess this person gets points for trying to join the zero-waste club, but that effort was undoubtedly wasted when they threw it away.
If you’re trying to join the zero waste club, maybe go the other way and boil your pasta in coffee. That way, you can get the caffeine and your proteins and carbs. I’m joking; please don’t do that. You’ll end up throwing it all out again! Just use the tap water and a French press. You won’t waste a drop after you try that deliciousness!
