‘Who raised you?!' Home cook slammed after sharing attempt at Italian dish – but can you tell what it's meant to be?
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. 4 4 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?" The Sun tries Wetherspoons' new menu "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''.

Erling Haaland puts a brave face on Man City's horror season as he enjoys his downtime before jetting out for the Club World Cup in brutal summer
Erling Haaland appears to be making the most of his brief time off this summer after enduring a nightmare campaign with Manchester City. The no-nonsense striker brutally admitted he and his team-mates were not 'good enough' as they went trophyless for the first time in eight years and surrendered the Premier League title to rivals Liverpool, finishing in third. City also endured disappointment in the Champions League, having crashed out in the last-16 to Real Madrid, leading Pep Guardiola to return to the drawing board. Already in the middle of refreshing his squad, Guardiola will shortly take his players to the United States for the new-look Club World Cup, which begins on June 15. They won 2-0 at Fulham on the last day of the season to secure a spot at the top table in Europe but will return to action just 24 days later. Enjoying a breather before hopping on board City's flight out, Haaland took to social media to share a photo of himself holding two large lobsters. The simple caption read: 'Lobzter'. Haaland is now back fit and firing after recovering from an ankle injury sustained in the 2-1 victory over Bournemouth in March, but he was powerless to prevent City from losing the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace at Wembley. He was on target at Craven Cottage, however, and will hope to find the back of the net again as City target another Club World Cup triumph, having won it back in 2023. In the new-look edition, City will play Moroccan side Wydad AC on 18 June, Al Ain from the United Arab Emirates on 23 June and finally Juventus three days later. The top two teams from each of the eight groups will qualify for the knockout stages while the sides that reach the final on 13 July will have played seven games. Exactly a month later, the new Premier League season will get underway. Despite the gruelling schedule awaiting City's players, club chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak has insisted the squad will be 'hungry' for silverware in the United States. Al Mubarak said: 'They want to come back, and they want to come back hungry. I can see the hunger and these players, they want to come back to pre-season. City could play as many as seven games at the Club World Cup in a breathless summer 'Normally these players are off and they're starting to think about vacation time etc. Honestly, every player I spoke to was telling me, we're coming back. 'We're ready to come back in three weeks' time. I was speaking to Rodri as an example, he's looking for games. Erling didn't want to go on vacation. 'He wanted to stay with the physios and prepare for next season. That's the attitude you want and that's exactly why you see me so positive. 'We're going to come back strong, with a lot of positivity.'

Trump reignites feud with CBS over ‘deleted' Colbert interview - years after his claim was debunked
President Donald Trump posted a video claiming that CBS 'deleted' his 2015 interview with Stephen Colbert, resurfacing a debunked claim against one of his favorite recent rivals. Late on Friday, the president reposted a Facebook video on his Truth Social account containing heavily edited clips of his September 2015 interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. A message next to the video states: 'You are not supposed to see this video. CBS DELETED this entire episode from their official website. You will not find these segments on YouTube either.' However, a quick search on YouTube showed otherwise. Clips from the Trump-Colbert interview are still available to be watched on the official Late Show account. One video has 17 million views. The Independent has reached out to the White House and CBS for comment. Both the YouTube video and Trump's post include a portion of the interview in which Trump, then a candidate, touts his plans to build a wall, prompting the audience to cheer. 'Oh, listen to this, even with your crowd –' Trump begins. Colbert interjects: 'They love the wall. People love the wall.' Strangely, this isn't the first time that Trump has made this claim. The president appears to have reposted that same video in his first term in October 2018. Hours later, Colbert posted on X: 'I don't know why the president would take time on a National Day of Mourning to retweet something weird like this, but the original clips have always been online. 16 million views.' The comedian attached two links to YouTube clips from the episode in question. A CBS spokesperson at the time told the Associated Press that full episodes of The Late Show are only available to stream online 30 days after the initial airing. Trump's Friday Truth Social post marked the latest move in his feud with CBS. The president has repeatedly expressed his ire at CBS' 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. He has sued the network for $20 million, claiming it used 'deceitful editing' to advantage the then-vice president. CBS filed a motion to dismiss the case earlier this month, arguing: 'This lawsuit is an affront to the First Amendment and is without basis in law or fact.' In response, this week Trump's lawyers claimed he suffered 'mental anguish' as a result of the interview. His legal team also accused to the network of seeking 'to wield the First Amendment as a sword, arguing that they cannot be held responsible for illegal conduct, intended to mislead the masses and undertaken in the pursuit of profit, because such conduct was the result of 'editorial judgment.''
