Taking food photos isn’t for everyone. Yes, it can be quite a challenge to make a dish look even somewhat appetizing on camera. Especially when you’ve cooked something yourself that doesn’t look appetizing in any way. But hey, you’re proud of it, of course — so it has to be posted.

There’s a good chance you’ll end up in the hilarious Facebook group ‘Hey vet tof dat je gekookt hebt maar beter maak je geen smerige fotos‘, which is one of my favorites.

1. Ah, the classic: Tuna Melt apple pie. Enjoy.

2. Spaghetti with a fried egg, who didn’t grow up with this?

3. Clearly, they had to cut back on the potatoes.

5. Pasta sauce, going once, going twice?

6. I genuinely have no idea what dish this is supposed to be.

7. Spaghetti… In pudding?! And pretending that’s perfectly logical and maybe even inspiration for others..?!

8. Steak with banana and ketchup: enjoy your meal! I could cry.

9. A delicious breakfast of leftover spaghetti with chocolate sprinkles. ‘Tasty,’ this person still dares to say.

10. I can’t reconcile the description with the photo: what is that gigantic cheesecake on the right?!

11. Delectable, those chocolate chip cookies…

12. Hey, it’s really great that you cooked, but next time you’d better not put a pancake in sushi…

12. This was offered in the Leeuwarden area: volunteers?
