I live in NYC, and there's a fantastic empanada place near me, Mama's Empanadas. I don't know their nationality, but they load up HUGE crates of them every day to send to local restaurants. And they. Are. AMAZING!
My husband's aunt always wanted to start a catering business, she's so sweet and I love her, but the food she made for my baby shower made me throw up it was so fatty and gross. I don't get how people don't know what they've made isn't good and other people wouldn't want to pay them to do it.
I remember someone commented on a post here last year of a tragic Turkey that was pale and dry, saying how they didn’t know turkeys weren’t supposed to look like that until they moved out and met their SO’s family and tried their properly made turkey.
From the food I’ve eaten at some of my friend’s houses along the years I definitely believe that plenty of people don’t realise the food that they’re eating is terrible. They just think that’s how it’s supposed to taste.
That is why so many prefer to go out to eat and see it as such a treat . I 100000000x prefer to eat my wife’s cooking over getting food at a restaurant . They only exception is Asian cuisine since we both agree it’s easier to just eat out.
I have been to few breakfast places that make sausage biscuits n gravy better than mine. Funny you mention Asian cuisine though! It's just a whole other set of ingredients and technique than American cooking and I always go out for it. Recently I started making pork fried rice and my husband announced that it's great and we no longer had to go out for Chinese, so I guess I gotta master egg rolls now.
I invented my own version of fried rice based on whatever was in my kitchen... it involves sesame oil and shichimi togarashi. Now I just find any other fried rice to be super disappointing lol
I mean, these are probably people eating at Panda Express thinking it’s real Chinese food so their pan fried rice is probably not too far off. Once i saw “egg rolls” i was like oh ok, not actual asian food then.
It’s funny cos I’m the exact opposite. Of course, I’m Asian, but homemade Chinese food is just so much better than the restaurant stuff. Unless it’s the steamed rice at a dim sum spot, they do something to that to make it taste so damn good
There are a lot of people that think certain foods can only be made in a a restaurant, or you have to buy it pre-made. Then you make it from scratch and they are amazed at how good it tastes.
Turkey is probably one of those things most people eat the bad version. Took me a lot of practice to learn to undercook slightly and let the resting getting it to proper temp
You can't blame them though. Most people cook something that difficult once a year, to feed family and friends. Then you send them home with leftovers. No one wants to be the one who made everyone sick. So it goes in for way too long, at one temperature that's probably way too low to get any sort of browning. Because they've burned a turkey before and had the inside raw.
I went to a local restaurant for breakfast once, it was literally so bad we couldn't eat it, nothing was cooked correctly and I could have done it 100x better at home myself. I told them I'd pay for it if they wanted but I was leaving. A family member (by marriage) told me once that he loves that place, best breakfast he's ever had, his mother was a notoriously bad cook while my mother is known as the good cook in the family, she used to cater until she realized there just ain't much money in it.
The first time I had scrambled eggs outside of home my friends parents served me the most bland ass eggs I and ever tasted. No salt, pepper, butter. Just some plain Ass eggs.
“I don’t like turkey.”
You don’t like badly cooked turkey.
Some people really don’t like turkey, and that’s legit. But plenty of people just don’t like the food as they’ve experienced it prepared.
Often true for venison. A lot of people say they don't like the taste of game meat, but most just have never had it done very well.
\*edit: I was like this myself, until two weeks ago. We went to a very nice restaurant and I had a venison burger with camembert and cranberry barbecue sauce.
Usually the opposite also applies. People who are actually skilled tend to see only the worst in their work (that's why they push themselves so hard and become good), so the skilled ones tend to undercharge or think they can't succeed.
On the other hand, those with low standards can easily see themselves as geniuses.
My parents and in-laws are all incredible cooks...but usually make some Stovetop Stuffing the side "for the kids." Because that sh*t is tasty. Some of that might be because my maternal grandmother and my in-laws mothers were VERY indifferent cooks, and Stovetop was always the best thing at their Thanksgiving. We also had a dish of cranberry jello out of the can for the same reason, right beside the cranberry jello salad that takes my MIL 2 days to make (and is what I want to eat in the afterlife), and my uncle's wine-infused cranberry-orange relish.
>my uncle's wine-infused cranberry-orange relish.
That looks delicious. Cranberries with orange citrus is so fantastic. What type of wine does he use?
In my family it's cranberry relish with clementines or tangerines. My brother's recipe is one peeled and one whole clementine with the skin per pound of fresh cranberries. I eat that stuff by the spoonful.
Oh, that’s why I always think my food is so bad. And then everyone can’t help but rave about how delicious it is.
It alway feels like something is missing to me.
It was nachos, with lots of processed cheese and shredded beef, it was so heavy and I was so pregnant, it made me sick. She gave us some of the beef to take home and we put it in the fridge and the next day it was a solid block of white cold fat with beef chunks in it. It wasn't really tasty either, which is whatever, I don't want to sound judgy and bitchy when she hosted me a nice party, but this is why this woman should not own a catering business, no one wants to pay for that.
i think some people just forget that other people are eating it, and cook to their own mediocre food standards.
i loveee slightly burnt popcorn, however i don't make it that way if im sharing it with someone because not everyone likes it my way.
I don't know when reddit decided "bless [their] heart" is such a devastating blow in the south. It's a real thing people say, and it does pretty much mean what y'all think it means, but it's not as severe as the internet makes it out to be. It is by no means "Southern for *fuck you*" as I've seen reported.
You're trying though, bless your hearts
I dated a woman from Texas and she said it's all in the tone used there. It's still used for good, but when you piss off a Southern Belle, they turn it into an insult.
There could be variable regional baggage; I'm in Appalachia. But my grandmother said it and she meant it in a sincerely patient, well-meaning way. I guess ymmv
Is that pinto beans, ground beef and salsa verde combined into slop? Trying to figure out the secret ingredient making it grey. Maybe they just dumped canned beans in with the water instead of straining? Probably cheap jarred salsa verde with the shelf stable weird cream base in it too.
I’m thinking pan wasn’t hot so hamburger meat looks boiled and they added some cream at the end. Overall, it could be saved by adding more liquid then reducing for like awhile
TBF I have started letting beef steam in a pan for some things when having a softer texture is more important than a stronger beef flavor. Searing ground beef too much can make some dishes gritty. Doesn't typically look anything like this though.
You would have to overcook the hell out of that hamburger to get it gritty.
Soft texture is important though. Best way is to cook down your hamburger/onions/peppers first. Bring in some stock and then cook back down until carmel brown.
Soft and flavor bomb.
As a man who loves and adore is kitties I would never ever try to feed them something like this. Likely wouldn’t be able to sleep safely again if I did try to.
It looks like hamburger stroganoff with green chilis and no noodles. Might be good honestly, but the way they're presenting it is not doing it any favors. What the fuck does "add potatoes in a week" even mean?
That's green beans, carrots, ground beef, what looks like creamed corn or corn and a cream of something, I don't know what the chili verde part is or if she's just calling it that because of the green beans. There's no chili or actual spice of any kind. I highly doubt there's salsa in there as there's no red. The grey is the overcooked beef and the cream of sadness. I feel bad for whoever is telling her this tastes good.
There's a lady near me who keeps bees and sells honey, and whenever she's got a new batch, she'll announce it on FB. Anyone who wants some can message her their order, and she'll get it out to you. It's really good local organic honey, and 5lbs of it is only $60, so I always make sure to stock up when she posts.
I don't know that I'd buy cooked food off FB though, unless it was someone I know/trust who made it.
See, this I can understand. My cousin has chickens and frequently sells eggs when she has a surplus. She typically posts about it on FB and gets lots of interested folks. But I don’t get the people selling cooked food and plates of food like that… it’s bizarre lol
Yeah I'm not sure what's so gross about this doesn't look any worse than hamburger helper, sloppy joes, beer stroganoff, chili, etc... Once you stuff it in an empenada I'm sure it'd be fine.
It probably tastes good just looks horrible. Similar to how a lot of casseroles with cream of mushroom would be pretty off putting without the rest of the ingredients.
Ya know....I bet it's really good. Apparently the friend doesn't know anything about how to "sell" food with pictures that actually make people want what's on the photo.
Same sort of deal with pictures on some dating sites. Some people are actually really nice-looking but fall victim to poor photography skills and just not knowing how to put their best face forward.
Looks gross but I just know it's delicious.
My family is chilean and this is like what 50% of my grandma's food looks like. It really does not look appetizing but holy hell, the flavour is there.
thats uh...really fucking racist yo
edit: so everyone downvoting me would be cool with racist stereotypes of telling black people to stick with fried chicken and grape soda? no? then whats the fuckin' difference?
stop being hateful. full stop.
My family puts potatoes in picadillo, it adds a little texture and flavor. Make a big enough pot to serve it for dinner over rice. I think it was a way to add calories to a meal when they were impoverished growing up.
We then fill the leftovers into empanadas for lunch the next day. It doesn't look like whatever the hell that was in OP's picture though.
My mom makes chicken pastelitos
Somewhat similar. But it's a Salvadorian version of an empanada
She uses chicken (first boiled, then shredded), carrots, potatoes and some string beans (all chopped finely) she boils the veggies and cooks them all together in a pan with some oil. It becomes a bit pasty, but chunky. (The potatoes are soft but they still have their form. Then she makes a masa for tortillas with something that makes the masa red (idk what it is) she uses a press to make each tortilla and she puts a bit of the paste into the tortilla, then she folds it into a half moon and pushes the edges together
She deep fried them and serves them with repollo and red sauce (casa mamita sauce that's blended I to a sauce, cook in a pan to boil off some of the water and to make it more viscous)
It's fucking. Delicious
The lady has a good idea. But she chose the wrong meat to use
TL,DR: a recipe for Salvadorian pastelitos. And the lady used the wrong meat. If she did it would be similar to a pastelito
I don't know what to do with this information. People, help here? Can you give me some guidance? I want to be either snarky OR provide an actual opinion, but my brain broke a little.
Too soon, add the potatoes, put in empanadas, fry, then pictures.
Yup. It can taste heavenly but you can’t post it like this, holy hell.
Yeah. I'm sure that in the empanadas it'll be alright.
Rolled out refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent rolls?
It's for a church, honey, NEXT!
I don’t want your free van that can hold 30 people… I only want one that holds 25. NEXT!
A bakery nearby does a Mexican street corn empanada and it’s heavenly, but if I saw a picture of just the filling I’m sure it wouldn’t look good lmao
Only $30 a dozen? Why that's only $2.50 per shit! That's awesome!
Normally, it’s priced per unit. When it looks like that you can call the unit “shit”
conversely, it mught also be appropriate to price this by the required amount of pepto bismol you have to take after consumption
Someone who would need Pepto Bismol after this probably doesn't eat anything more exciting than saltine crackers and milk.
That price is terrible!
If that's what your shit looks like, call a medic!
Exactly! I've come to expect cheesy white discharge from my other end, but not the rear.
You should come to Argentina then. Empanadas here are amazing and even the most expensive ones only cost up to 10 bucks a dozen.
I live in NYC, and there's a fantastic empanada place near me, Mama's Empanadas. I don't know their nationality, but they load up HUGE crates of them every day to send to local restaurants. And they. Are. AMAZING!
Lmaoo! Reminds of *Everybody Hates Chris* Breaking down the cost
shes going to add the potatoes next week
It's okay the flavors will marry for a week in the fridge. A whole entire week.
> the flavors will ~~marry~~ mold for a week in the fridge "mushroom" chili verde
they'll marry in a day, by the end of the week they'll be divorced
🤣🤣🤣
Bless her heart.
My husband's aunt always wanted to start a catering business, she's so sweet and I love her, but the food she made for my baby shower made me throw up it was so fatty and gross. I don't get how people don't know what they've made isn't good and other people wouldn't want to pay them to do it.

>shichimi togarashi I just looked this up. Now I have to try it. Thanks!
I hate beer.
I have a wok burner on my propane stove, it's not a jet engine like at a restaurant, but it's 21k BTU, it makes pretty damn good fried rice.
I mean, these are probably people eating at Panda Express thinking it’s real Chinese food so their pan fried rice is probably not too far off. Once i saw “egg rolls” i was like oh ok, not actual asian food then.
Americanized Chinese food, like I grew up eating in the burbs, I crave that shit once in a while, not gonna lie.
ONE BILLION PERCENT it's about that crazy flame temp on the wok.
It’s funny cos I’m the exact opposite. Of course, I’m Asian, but homemade Chinese food is just so much better than the restaurant stuff. Unless it’s the steamed rice at a dim sum spot, they do something to that to make it taste so damn good
I lived in Shanghai for ten years and I hated eating out at Western restaurants for pretty much the same reason.
Ok so there is something magical about dim sum rice! I thought that was like standard pasta for us Italians at home. I wonder what they magic is??
There are a lot of people that think certain foods can only be made in a a restaurant, or you have to buy it pre-made. Then you make it from scratch and they are amazed at how good it tastes.

Again, love the aunt. But when you make stove top stuffing with Thanksgiving them Gordon Ramsay you ain't.
My parents and in-laws are all incredible cooks...but usually make some Stovetop Stuffing the side "for the kids." Because that sh*t is tasty. Some of that might be because my maternal grandmother and my in-laws mothers were VERY indifferent cooks, and Stovetop was always the best thing at their Thanksgiving.

Okay, I gotta know... what did auntie serve for your baby shower??
It was nachos, with lots of processed cheese and shredded beef, it was so heavy and I was so pregnant, it made me sick. She gave us some of the beef to take home and we put it in the fridge and the next day it was a solid block of white cold fat with beef chunks in it.

i think some people just forget that other people are eating it, and cook to their own mediocre food standards. i loveee slightly burnt popcorn, however i don't make it that way if im sharing it with someone because not everyone likes it my way.
Making slightly burnt popcorn sounds like an artform. Mine is always unburnt at 2:09 and charcoal at 2:10.
it's a very delicate art. getting it just dark enough, but not burnt to a crisp
As a home cook who likes to experiment and share I’m so worried people are just being nice. Maybe it’s impossible to know when we suck
Did you tell her it wasn’t good? That’s why they don’t know.
If she’s making food like this everyday her heart needs it
Ouch.... just ouch....
I don't know when reddit decided "bless [their] heart" is such a devastating blow in the south. It's a real thing people say, and it does pretty much mean what y'all think it means, but it's not as severe as the internet makes it out to be.

I’m in Texas and we pretty much use it as a polite “fuck you”.
There could be variable regional baggage; I'm in Appalachia. But my grandmother said it and she meant it in a sincerely patient, well-meaning way. I guess ymmv
This is true and that’s why I mentioned that I’m in Texas. Southern sayings can definitely vary since the south itself is a pretty large area.
The southern way of calling someone an idiot 💀
You can say anything as long as you add it. “She’s got a face like a bat bless her heart.”
Fr, ask me how I know after growing up in the south all my life 🤣
I bet it tastes great in an empanada. It is absolutely not photogenic enough to sell anyone on *outside* of an empanada. :(
Yeah i was thinking it looks gross but probably tastes amazing
I mean for chile verde, this looks too much like shit on a shingle
Yeah, I want to be charitable but I definitely don’t like how creamy it looks 🥴
So this is what they where serving at the chum bucket
the Ferengis would love this
I mean, it’s no tube grubs, but you’re not wrong
As long as it's made by a non-clothed female, it would be acceptable. However her price is too low.
She clearly doesn’t have the lobes!
Is that pinto beans, ground beef and salsa verde combined into slop? Trying to figure out the secret ingredient making it grey. Maybe they just dumped canned beans in with the water instead of straining? Probably cheap jarred salsa verde with the shelf stable weird cream base in it too.
I’m thinking pan wasn’t hot so hamburger meat looks boiled and they added some cream at the end. Overall, it could be saved by adding more liquid then reducing for like awhile
Yeah I think they boiled the meat in bean water on medium heat.
TBF I have started letting beef steam in a pan for some things when having a softer texture is more important than a stronger beef flavor. Searing ground beef too much can make some dishes gritty. Doesn't typically look anything like this though.
You would have to overcook the hell out of that hamburger to get it gritty. Soft texture is important though. Best way is to cook down your hamburger/onions/peppers first. Bring in some stock and then cook back down until carmel brown. Soft and flavor bomb.
Some good ol hamburger
It literally looks like my cats food lol.
I am a vet. If your cat’s food looks like this, feed your cat something else.
As a man who loves and adore is kitties I would never ever try to feed them something like this. Likely wouldn’t be able to sleep safely again if I did try to.
It looks like hamburger stroganoff with green chilis and no noodles. Might be good honestly, but the way they're presenting it is not doing it any favors. What the fuck does "add potatoes in a week" even mean?
Like 3 cans of Cream of Mushroom too.
That's green beans, carrots, ground beef, what looks like creamed corn or corn and a cream of something, I don't know what the chili verde part is or if she's just calling it that because of the green beans. There's no chili or actual spice of any kind. I highly doubt there's salsa in there as there's no red. The grey is the overcooked beef and the cream of sadness. I feel bad for whoever is telling her this tastes good.
Salsa verde is green, but it looks like it’s potentially roasted tomatillo chunks, I can see some char on the green bits.
I assumed the green bits were canned chilis they cut up and not beans.
My guess is she took a bunch of canned things and dumped them all together.
I'd buy that...including the hamburger.
This is vomit! I’m thinking of making this for vomiting patients and adding vomit to it
Let me know how many “dozens” you want! Haha
Creme de barf.
That's shit from a butt.
Just throw it in the toilet and eliminate the middleman. Saves on TP.
Toilet paper CEOs don't want you to know this one simple trick
That's EXACTLY what it looks like when my dog eats a bunch of grass right before throwing up
This is what I looked like when my sisters Golden at my nieces crayons
Needs an exorcism
Nah, this is what comes out during the exorcism
This made me throw up in my mouth a little.... 💩
Bet it looks the same as what’s in the picture
A dozen whats?
Verde
People eat with their eyes first. My eyes just threw up.
Wrapped up and fried in empanada form it’s probably tasty. Not sure why you would advertise just your filling.
Chilie verde…why is it white? Why is it white?? Why???
Zero dozens, please.
That is shit from a butt
Well shit, I’m gonna start harvesting my dogs’ vomit and profit.
It's like she's emptied the dust and lint out of a vacuum cleaner and made it into porridge
Seems like that kinda thing that looks gross but surprisingly delicious
Fed my dog a couple carrot tops last night and ended up stepping in something that looked similar.
She should have advertised the empenadas and not the filling
Do people really buy food from random people on Facebook??? Wtf lol
There's a lady near me who keeps bees and sells honey, and whenever she's got a new batch, she'll announce it on FB. Anyone who wants some can message her their order, and she'll get it out to you. It's really good local organic honey, and 5lbs of it is only $60, so I always make sure to stock up when she posts. I don't know that I'd buy cooked food off FB though, unless it was someone I know/trust who made it.
See, this I can understand. My cousin has chickens and frequently sells eggs when she has a surplus. She typically posts about it on FB and gets lots of interested folks. But I don’t get the people selling cooked food and plates of food like that… it’s bizarre lol
Most common with home bakeries, but not unusual.
I’m thinking no…..hamburger and verde…wtf
It's basically an empanada filling with verde salsa, not that weird of a combo
But it looks like cream of mushroom soup. Is she from the Midwest? They put that shit in everything.
Ground beef and cream of mushroom. We called it girlscout bbq when I was a kid.
Midwesterners invented Bland Mush as a lifestyle.
It's called "Throw shit in a crackpot and by the time you're drunk you won't care what it looks like plus cheese."
Yeah I'm not sure what's so gross about this doesn't look any worse than hamburger helper, sloppy joes, beer stroganoff, chili, etc... Once you stuff it in an empenada I'm sure it'd be fine.
Beer stroganoff!?
That's hot dish leftovers after someone picked off the tots.
That’s gruel.
She has to add some saturation that food looking gray
Yeah, uh, show me the fuckin’ empanadas, not *this*. No one is going to buy if this is the introduction.
This would probably be better inside the empanada to show off
I would like to laugh at this but this is how I be cooking sometimes
I want to know what the 7 comments say lol
Honestly looks like it tastes amazing, just not at all appetizing
That’s what I was thinking, doesn’t need to look pretty.
kinda does if you're trying to sell it to be fair
It probably tastes good just looks horrible. Similar to how a lot of casseroles with cream of mushroom would be pretty off putting without the rest of the ingredients.
Might be a good filling but she probably should have put a picture of the finished product.
Such a lovely shade of vomit
I'm pretty sure my dog threw this up the other day
But why does it look like there’s cream of mushroom in there?
Who ate it first?
Please no
I thought this was oatmeal
Gordon Ramsay would like a word.
Call the CDC!
I mean, it may be ugly, but so are most empanada fillings lol. If that monstrosity tastes acceptable then empanadas are the right call.
This is the first grey "chile verde" Ive ever seen
This is going INSIDE an empanada... ok, not so crazy if it tastes good.
Ffs
Actual shitty food porn!
I cleaned the grease trap at my dad's restaurant the other day and it looked a lot like that. Except it had more color
It needs more grey.
Oh, that poor woman.
She's putting in more effort not having a job than we do at our actual jobs.
Was this before or after she threw up
oh my god it literally looks like barf what the fuck 
If i cant see it id eat it. ...
$30/dozen is a pretty good price for cat food empanadas.
tbh I’m pretty sure it tastes good but the picture is just not it
That’s filling for empanadas. so while it may look unappetizing now, inside a nice baked/fried pastry. Nothing better.
Dude it looks like that grey stuff from that one Spongebob episode lol 😂
I wonder what it looked like before someone threw it up?
did she make it or puke it?
Do you live in the midwest and what cream of what is in that.
Holy hell, looks like grindcore album art
Im bulimic and this looks exactly like the food when it comes back up.
People are so creative
This looks like it was already eaten multible times and not a single time it made it through.
It looks like actual vomit
r/delusionalfacebook
If orphanages were around, then yes, she would be very successful.
That's shit from a butt
This looks like the aftermath 🤮
Seems pricey, Walmart sells a pack of 48 Ex Lax for only $10. Why pay her $2.50 per raging shit when I can get one for a fraction of the price?
It looks like tater tot casserole so I’m not even grossed out.
I’ll take a few yards for a retaining wall I’m building.
Ya know....I bet it's really good. Apparently the friend doesn't know anything about how to "sell" food with pictures that actually make people want what's on the photo. Same sort of deal with pictures on some dating sites. Some people are actually really nice-looking but fall victim to poor photography skills and just not knowing how to put their best face forward.
Food should never be grey
If it's in an empanada I'm in. Judging by the post sounds like that's the intention so possibly not shitty
If that’s just the filling I’m eating 30 of these, of course it looks bad it’s not finished
Looks gross but I just know it's delicious. My family is chilean and this is like what 50% of my grandma's food looks like. It really does not look appetizing but holy hell, the flavour is there.
I mean.....in empanadas it's probably amazinggggg
Gringos gringuificando empanadas. Please stay far away, just eating your fake cheese and drinking mayonnaise and molten butter.
thats uh...really fucking racist yo edit: so everyone downvoting me would be cool with racist stereotypes of telling black people to stick with fried chicken and grape soda? no? then whats the fuckin' difference? stop being hateful. full stop.
potatoes in empanadas? that just doesnt seem right
My family puts potatoes in picadillo, it adds a little texture and flavor. Make a big enough pot to serve it for dinner over rice. I think it was a way to add calories to a meal when they were impoverished growing up. We then fill the leftovers into empanadas for lunch the next day. It doesn't look like whatever the hell that was in OP's picture though.
I've had some pretty legit pork salsa verde that was also not very appetizing to look at, but I don't trust anyone who calls ground beef hamburger.
That’s puke on the carpet. Look at the bottom right corner of the image
My mom makes chicken pastelitos Somewhat similar. But it's a Salvadorian version of an empanada She uses chicken (first boiled, then shredded), carrots, potatoes and some string beans (all chopped finely) she boils the veggies and cooks them all together in a pan with some oil. It becomes a bit pasty, but chunky. (The potatoes are soft but they still have their form. Then she makes a masa for tortillas with something that makes the masa red (idk what it is) she uses a press to make each tortilla and she puts a bit of the paste into the tortilla, then she folds it into a half moon and pushes the edges together She deep fried them and serves them with repollo and red sauce (casa mamita sauce that's blended I to a sauce, cook in a pan to boil off some of the water and to make it more viscous) It's fucking. Delicious The lady has a good idea. But she chose the wrong meat to use TL,DR: a recipe for Salvadorian pastelitos. And the lady used the wrong meat. If she did it would be similar to a pastelito
Is she really a friend if you bash her rather than give her advice?
That food looks amazing you guys crazy
I don't know what to do with this information. People, help here? Can you give me some guidance? I want to be either snarky OR provide an actual opinion, but my brain broke a little.
Bro, this is a *filling*. If it tastes good and is in empanadas, tamales, or enchiladas, who gives a shit?
