21 hilarious times someone used the wrong ingredients and then had the gall to complain about the recipe

Have you ever been following a recipe, realised you didn’t have an ingredient and substituted it for something else? Thyme instead of oregano? Demerara sugar instead of muscovado?

Well, that’s completely normal. But what isn’t normal is using a completely different type of food and expecting your dish to turn out right.

The good people of the I Didn’t Have Eggs subreddit have been collecting reviews by people who didn’t follow a recipe and were unhappy with the results, and they make for hilarious reading. Here are some of the best…
