BBC Good Food have got to be having a laugh here. What’s the dumbest ‘recipe’ you’ve seen online?

  1. That cloud coffee that was cutting about on TikTok for a while. It was barely even wet

  2. That does look grim.

    Thinking back the silliest cooking thing I can remember on the Beeb was Delia Smith telling people how to boil an egg. Letsbehavinyou.🤣

  3. When Safeway supermarkets still existed in the UK, their packs of beef mince had a little sticker on the front that said “Ideal for recipes”.

  4. That’s more of a serving suggestion than a recipe, but I’d eat it.

  5. BBC Good Food is a strange thing. As far as I can tell it’s an independent magazine which seems to be nothing to do with the BBC other than apparently coming under their brand.

    The [BBC Food](https://www.bbc.co.uk/food) site seems to be the one run by the BBC and linked to their programmes.

  6. The strangest recipe I think was Beef Fizz which involved Campbells Beef Broth, ginger ale and lemon juice.

  7. After my first trip to Spain I fell in love with pan con tomate. I thought there must be some magic seasoning involved to make it so mind-blowingly delicious.

    Looked up the recipe and it’s basically rub a garlic clove and then a tomato over bread.

    And I’d been paying for this every day in Spain.

  8. “Deconstructed” is just lazy bollocks for those who can’t be bothered to actually cook and then think they’re clever, also a special mention for the twats who prefix dishes with “ultimate”, no it’s not.

    Thank you, I feel better now.

  9. Not online but on a jar of peanut butter the serving suggestions were “great on toast, or just straight out of the jar”…

    That’s it? They thought of putting it on toast and ran out of ideas

  10. I don’t like avocados, so substituted them for a melon and it tasted awful.

  11. A restaurant dessert was raspberries with crumbled biscuits with whisky poured over. It cost around half a bottle of whisky. I made it at home.

  12. I’m not familiar with BBC Good Food but I respect the hell out of Sara Buenfeld and everything she is doing here.

    Fucking genius

  13. BBC is where you went wrong bro. Not to be trusted with anything

  14. It’s stupid as a recipe but if you called it a “loaded Avocado” and put it on the menu for brunch/starter it would fly out.

    Drizzle some corriander oil over and people will cream themselves.

  15. Years ago was a recipe for gummi worm cake on all recipes.
    1 box of cake mix, 1 tub premixed frosting, 1 bag gummi worms.

    Why even post it??

  16. I remember a while back, Nigella Lawson got a bit of flack for her “Avocado Toast” recipe, where the ingredients were Avocado and bread. Can you guess the method?

  17. Anything Slimming World. Slimming world Ferrero Rochers, (mashed up weetabix balls with a negligible amount of Nutella) Slimming World KFC, (chicken covered in weetabix – again with the weetabix) Slimming World Greggs steak bakes (with sandwich thins) Slimming World bean lasagne (for some reason lasagne sheets are “syn free” – oh and there are so many recipes with Quark.
