The foodie showed off their attempt at making lasagne on Facebook

Despite their best efforts, the food turned out nothing like you would expect, and some people even questioned what they meal was supposed to be in the first place.
This came after the wannabe chef took to Facebook to show off their concoction with a picture from before it went into the over and after.
"How do you make lasagne, mine came out crispy as hell and I want it soft, please help," the Facebook user wrote alongside the pictures.
The first snap shows a dish layered with dry spaghetti, strips of uncooked bacon and slices of American cheese.
Unsurprisingly, the meal only looked worse after some time in the oven.
Instead of melting, the cheese shrivelled up and burned, and the dry spaghetti didn't look any more enticing either.
After sharing the snaps in the popular Facebook group people were so shocked by the food creation they thought the foodie must've been joking.
"This has got to be satire," one person commented on the viral post.
But others weren't so sure, as a second said: "What in the name of god did you think you were making!?!"
And a third chimed in: "I have never seen anything like this, where is the sauce?"

"I want to laugh but I genuinely don't even know what to think here," another wrote.
Meanwhile, others offered some cooking suggestions for their next attempt.
"You should start by reading an actual recipe, this is a crime," one said.
And another commented: "I dread to think how many Italians you killed making this. Even if it is a joke this post should come with a trigger warning."
And someone else quipped: "Who raised you?!"
This isn't the first time food fans have been left stunned by a meal.
Mum and TikToker Michelle previously caused viewers to lose their appetites as she proudly showed the breakfast she fed her family.
The now-viral video, which has racked up a staggering 2.2million views in just two days, sees the parent make scrambled eggs - but with a twist.

Brits reveal unusual food combinations that are so wrong, they feel right
Research by LNER claims that a whopping four in five Brits experiment with unusual flavours, and almost a quarter have a 'guilty pleasure' when it comes to unconventional food combinations, Crisps and chocolate Cheese and chocolate Crisps in jam sandwich Chips and milkshake Cheese and bananas Apples with salt and pepper Avocado and chocolate Popcorn and hot sauce Tuna and marmite Gherkins and peanut butter
Rather than using actual eggs, the mum whipped up the first meal of the day with a ''scrambled egg mix'' - which was essentially just a powder.
To add some extra boost of protein, Michelle also threw in a generous amount of bacon - that had been freeze dried.
The gut-churning concoction called for half a cup of the scrambled egg mix which she dissolved with warm water, as well as the bacon bits - which needed to be re-hydrated with cold water.
For extra flavour and texture the mum also chucked in some freeze fried cheddar cheese that had to go in the water before as well.
Once the egg mixture was ready, Michelle cooked it on the pan, before squeezing the water out of the shredded cheese and throwing a spoonful of the watery bacon.
Showing off the final result on her page, the mum tried to convince the viewers it was ''good'' - and the rest of the brood agreed, with the dad dubbing the dish ''yummy''.

A 3m-tall metal spider is to make a return to a Scottish art gallery after 12 years as part of an exhibition that will also feature photography by American talent Robert Mapplethorpe. Spider, by French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, will be on display at Modern One in Edinburgh from next month, in a free exhibition in the Artist Rooms series, cared for jointly by the National Galleries of Scotland and Tate.

The artwork was also exhibited in the Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern in London. The creation was on display in Aberdeen last year. As well as work by Ms Bourgeois and Mr Mapplethorpe, who is known for his black-and-white photographic images, and Helen Chadwick, the exhibition will also include paintings, drawings, prints and photography by artists such as Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Sarah Lucas, Jasleen Kaur, Edvard Munch and Lee Miller.

We hope visitors will be inspired by their vision and creativity, and by the work of the many other impressive and engaging artists featured. There is truly something for all to discover.' Ms Bourgeois has been described as 'one of the most influential artists of her generation'. Her career spanned eight decades, from the 1930s until 2010.

Connor Burns: My family used to hate the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, now it's my favourite month of the year

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... When Connor Burns was growing up in the Edinburgh suburb of Gilmerton, his family's views of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe was far from positive. 'I always wanted to do stand up, for as long as I can remember,' he says. 'But I grew up in a household where we didn't massively value the Fringe. We saw it as that month where traffic is really bad and the city's too full.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Now, eight years after he first launched his comedy career, Burns regards the Fringe as the main event of his year. His career has rocketed in recent times, with sell-out runs in Edinburgh and successful UK and international tours. The comedian's first full-length show is soon due to be broadcast on comedy streaming platform 800 Pound Gorilla. 'I cringe when I look back at the amount of years I wasted not going to see stuff at the Fringe, because as an artist, you realise it's an unbelievable feat,' he says. 'In the space of one day, you can see a Chinese circus, an African dance troupe and an American comedian and they're all coming to one place. 'I think the Fringe is awesome. The city is buzzing with life. It's just exciting. It's a massive month for me.' However, he admits his attitude towards the event is different to that of his fellow comedians from outside Scotland. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I don't know if I have the same feeling of grandeur about the Fringe, because I live in Edinburgh,' he says. 'For a lot of acts who've got to get accommodation and get travel sorted, it's like 'oh wow, it's the Fringe and I'm going to go and live in another city for a month'. Connor Burns | Connor Burns 'But for me, I just love it. It's the only month I don't have to pack a suitcase and get a flight, I have home gigs the whole time and there's this cool month where all my pals come to my home city and we get to hang out with each other.' Burns sees the month as a chance to hone his new material before launching into touring after August is over. 'I view it like a new show boot camp,' he says. 'I try not to turn up to the first show without a show ready because I don't think it's fair to the first four or five audiences if you turn up without a show totally formed. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But obviously if you do something 34 times in a month, it goes to a whole other place. With the repetition, you realise for example, that there's a better word - that's the process - and at the end of the Fringe, the show's ready to tour.' However, he has not forgotten his early days on the Free Fringe. He describes the excruciating free Fringe scene depicted in Richard Gadd's Baby Reindeer as 'of the most accurate depictions of doing the Fringe as a nobody'. The Netflix show portrays Scottish performer Gadd - whose career was launched at the Fringe - playing to a near-empty pub, telling jokes which fail to land. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Burns says he believes his early years were spent 'doing the Fringe the way it was made for'. 'I was literally handing out all my own flyers, trying to convince people to see my show,' he says. 'And I think that teaches you about humility. But I don't think anyone could pay me any sum of money to go back into the first two years again. Because it's unbelievably humiliating at these gigs. Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning in Baby Reindeer. The hit Netflix show started out life on the Edinburgh Fringe. | Ed Miller/Netflix 'Comedy is funny because it's back in front in that you do the hardest gigs of your career when you're the newest, and then eventually loads of people start coming, and then loads of people who actually already like you start coming. It gets easier and easier. 'When you start, you're doing a gig in front of nine guys in a pub who are angry because you've turned off the football. So if you can get good at them [the gigs], standing in front of a thousand people who bought tickets because they want to see you is a breeze.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Burns is about to start a pre-Fringe tour with a couple of other comedians, playing venues in Stirling, St Andrews and Paisley. 'It's just to stretch our legs - we take notepads up and it's not sold or set up like a polished comedy night,' he says. 'It's funny - there are people who come every year to see those shows, and then they'll also come and see us at the Fringe, because some people quite like to see how the sausage is made, what makes it to the actual show and what gets left.' Burns admits that he tries to write a minute of his show a week over the year in advance of the Fringe - to a total of 45 minutes of the hour-long slot before it starts - with the rest given over to improvised crowd work. He tries to avoid trying out new material in front of his established fans. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'If you've got that bias, that before the show starts, they want you to succeed and sometimes they'll let a five-out-of-ten joke slip by because there's goodwill in the room,' he says. 'So, I like to go up in front of people who are not my audience. They're just there to see a comedy night. I think that gives you the most accurate representation as to whether the stuff's properly good or not.' Burns tried out a number of different jobs before settling on comedy, training as an electrical engineer and later working in an Edinburgh guitar shop. 'I can't believe I was fixing washing machines a few years ago and now I'm running about New York getting to go backstage at all these cool venues,' he says. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But I'm glad I had ten different jobs before stand up, because it gives you some perspective. I always feel like a bad night doing stand up is better than a good day fixing washing machines. And it gives me something to talk about. I know what it's like to be really skint and what it's like to be between jobs. That's what's most relatable. 'I sat down two years ago and thought 'what do I want [from my career]?' And the answer has always been to just be a stand up. It's not about trying to get on panel shows. I love the lightning-in-a-bottle feeling you get, standing in front of a live audience. Nothing has ever matched it.'
