Spewing insults, pissing off all your neighbors, betraying your allies, backing out of treaties and accords, and generally screwing over the global environment?
ALL PART OF MY BRILLIANT STRATEGY!
I wish I had entertaining cooking fuckups, usually I just tend to transpose two numbers when reading a recipe for what temperature to set ovens at. Not sure why it keeps happening, I tend to have perfect reading comprehension for everything else.

I think probably my "worst" cooking fuckup was the time I learned just how much rhubarb does not want you to eat it. See, it contains oxalic acid, and that's Pretty Bad, so usually when you do any rhubarb-related cooking, you use something to knock that out(not sure how it works, perhaps binds it or something?) so you don't ruin yourself, but it also tends to mark the rhubarb a bit milder, and I like sour things. So I, being the genius I am, and needing to boil down some rhubarb and strawberries for a rhubarb-strawberry compote, decide to forego it.

Well! It turns out that un-"tempered" rhubarb is pissed-off enough to strip layers off the inside of your pot, so now if I ever use that pot, about half of it will burn things and they'll stick, while the other half, that apparently got stripped less, works perfectly well.

Aside from that it's just a number of cases of perfectly normal poorly-chosen amounts of things, spilling the pepper pot(that was one hell of a spicy potato salad, cleared my loving sinuses), etc.

Oh and then there was the time I tried to make peach-infused water and instead ended up with a very effective emetic, don't ask me how, teenage me did not understand anything related to food or drink.
