Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is highly regarded for his delicious plates, his ability to run a solid restaurant, and, let's face it, his stage presence.

He's also a foul-mouthed Brit who is all too willing to dismantle people's self-esteems and compare them to livestock animals.

Alas, as watching all reality television goes, we love to see the crashing and burning.

But what if the shoe was on the other foot? What if you were the one being torn into by the sailor of all chefs, Mr. Gordon Ramsay.

Wondering what horrible dishes were lurking in unknown kitchens all over the place, Redditor FalloutSl*t413 asked:

"What's something you made that was 100% delicious but Gordon Ramsay would slap you for anyway?"

Some people talked about those purely functional meals that are just perfect for piling on enough protein and calories to get through the day.

Spewing Lava

"My mom used to make us 'Volcanoes.' Mashed potatoes topped with ground beef with some ketchup. I still tear it up to this day."

-- usernamerefused

Quick and Easy

"I make weeknight 'enchiladas.' "

"You stick frozen taquitos in a casserole dish and cover them with canned or frozen chili and cheese. Bake them until everything's hot, serve with a dollop of sour cream. They sound disgusting but they taste amazing, and they take like, five minutes to prep."

-- MuppetManiac

Human-Cat Food

"I know it looks like, smells like, and probably tastes like cat food but potted meat sandwiches. Look, when you're poor as hell and you can make 3 sandwiches with one little can that cost like 20 cents, it's pretty good."

"While I'm at it, Treet and bologna are pretty great. I have the taste palette of a raccoon and I like it that way."

-- wildboywifey

A HEAP

"When I was younger I would make this thing where it was a patty melded of:"

- "spinach"
- "a can of tuna"
- "two eggs
- "cheese"

"And I would eat that almost daily, pan-fried, for lunch. Just slap me now and lets get it over with."

-- Corvacayne

Others shared the recipes they make to feel fancy despite being totally trashy.

A Nuanced Process

"I call them 'chicken puffs.' Some par-cooked chicken (white or dark meat, either works) with sauteed serrano peppers and onions and garlic."

"All wrapped in crescent roll dough in little balls (a bit smaller than a baseball), put in a casserole tray filled juuuuust above the top of the little dough balls with cream of roasted chicken soup. Baked to completion/safety."

"Overly indulgent and delicious."

-- Dangercakes13

A Famous Side

"I consistently make a box of pastaroni angel hair and herbs as a side with meals I prepare for people. EVERYONE always asks for the recipe LOL please don't tell my secret"

-- keepitweirdpodcast

Just a Couple Additions

" 'Fancy Ramen' Ramen made normal. Don't mix seasoning. Drain water. Add Mayo. Then mix in seasoning. And Volia. A lot of people question it. Until they try it."

-- RachelMay6

Others outlined the things they eat that combine some ingredients it may seem disgusting to mix together.

Throw An Egg On There

"Fu** it lasagna, alternating layers of bread and shredded cheese (your choice which, I use cheddar) then crack an egg on top and put it in the microwave. Old depression meal, but it still holds up."

-- FadingFuture197

Hard to Wrap Your Head Around

"As a kid I would eat a banana with a cheese slice. Haven't tried it in years but it might hold up" -- Send_it_to_me

"Let's not" -- Sea-Entertainer-4974

Little Zing

"When I was younger I would make toast with peanut butter on it, then add pepperoni. Delicious then but I cringe thinking about trying it today"

-- extrahardrock

The truly horrifying thing? There are so many more recipes out there that would leave Ramsay trembling.

Reddit user buzzkill007 asked: 'Have you ever dreamed of doing something your whole life only to find out, once you did it, that you hated it? What was it?'

They say "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

You know, the notion that we shouldn't fear things we haven't tried and that getting out of our comfort zone could lead to a wealth of wonderful discoveries.

Most times, fear isn't preventing us from trying the things we've been wanting to try–whether it's a new career or a hobby. We just haven't gotten there yet.

But take note, it's not always what it seems once we get there.

Everyone has a memory from their school days that always makes them laugh when it crosses their minds.

Be it someone passing gas at a very inopportune moment, an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during a school play or sporting event, or, perhaps most of all, a spectacular prank.

Of course, while every single member of the student body likely finds these incidents and occurrences hilarious, the faculty and staff often find little to nothing funny about them.

Mainly because they often have to deal with the consequences and pandemonium caused by these dubiously hilarious events.

The Most Embarrassing Thing People Have Said To Someone They Were Trying To Impress

I embarrass myself in the search for love constantly.

Or in the need to try and impress.

I can't help it.

And I know I'm not alone.

Every time I come face to face with a crush or someone that intimidates me, all of my wit, wisdom, and self-respect flies out the window. Suddenly words are just sounds that make no sense. I also laugh at the most inappropriate moments.

Trying to impress someone should be easy.

Well, maybe not easy, it can be a challenge but it shouldn't land anyone in the ER.

When did trying to gain someone's attention become a sporting event?

Thank God for Xanax.

I have found a little calm goes a long way.

We've all had to learn something the hard way or at a super inconvenient time.

But because we're always learning new things, of course there will have to be some things that we learn later, rather than sooner, no matter the consequences of learning it too late.
