My worst cooking disaster in years.

[Ptah]

Every spring I cook corned beef and cabbage.




This year I decided to make it more colorful







I used purple cabbage.

Simmered the beef for about 3 and 1/2 hours then added the cabbage for the final 30 minutes.






OMG!11!!


I'l have to be blindfolded to eat the blue meat.

[Suich]

1. LOL!

I'll have to remember that when I cook mine this weekend!

[Ptah]

6. I was dumbfounded for two or three minutes.

And then I realized I should has foreseen this disaster.

[Warpy]

2. As long as nobody gets carted off to the hospital

it's not really that big a disaster.

I suggest candle light. From one candle. A birthday cake candle.

7. I'm going with pocket flashlight.

11. 'in the other room' n/t

3. ahahaha

I made a bean soup once with purple cabbage. I brought it into work and put it in the fridge. I went to grab it at lunch and it was gone. I was pretty mad - what kind of person would steal my obviously homemade lunch?!!

Turns out there was a coworker who was equally mad at the person who left their lunch in the fridge so long it had spoiled beyond all recognition, and he threw it out.

[Ptah]

8. To be fair, if I found this in my fridge, I'd discard it,

and the container. Then I would sandblast the fridge.

4. Me too, last year and I added red potatoes

Tasted great if I closed my eyes.

9. Please pass the braille menu.

One night, I had a bunch of Army buddies over for a real home-cooked meal and made beef stroganoff.
Suddenly, I realized that the place was quiet as a church and realized that they had gone on the discussed
mega-beer run without even asking if I wanted to go along.
.
Well... YEAH!!!!
.
.
I put a serious quantity of blue vegetable coloring in the stroganoff sauce and, when they returned, told
them that the meat must've been spoiled (and showed them).
.
"This cost too damn much to waste -- I'm gonna try it!!!!!"
.
Started spooning it into my face to their concern and horror. Eventually told them.

Go on. Go on another beer run without me.

10. Hahahaha . . . . . I can absolutely imagine.

Try making onion soup with red onions some time. The same sort of result.

12. OMG!

19. Ok:

20. It IS a beautiful shade of blue

Really only the meat fat looks tinted, at least in this picture.

[Ptah]

21. I don't know why, but that shade makes me think MOLD!!1!!

Before I sliced it, it was a blue lump of WTF?

It tastes fine and will not go to waste.

17. GMTA! I posted the same thing before I saw your post.

18. high five, GM

I notice my neighbors have been having a lot of candlelight dinners lately.

Then I saw him on the road, bringing in his trash barrel. He has grown a most ridiculous mustache--kind of like Yosemite Sam.

Now I know the reason for the candlelight dinners.

14. This would be a great April Fool's dinner, IMHO. nt

[winter is coming]

15. Serve it with Romulan ale. Your guests will think their color vision is messed up. n/t

16. Candlelight dinner!

I have made some things where the color was really, really awful.

Candles, and not too many of them.
