THERE'S nothing better than tucking into a tasty homecooked meal, and it's even better if it's a traditional recipe.
But one home cook left people scratching their heads after they revealed their attempt at a particular classic dish.

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.
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''.
