Man rates friend's 'dodgy' dinners including ketchup on spaghetti and microwaved bacon

A man has shared pictures of the 'dodgy' dinners his friend eats every night with people saying they feel sick after seeing them.

Owen, from England, took to Twitter on Wednesday to post the images of the food his friend, Clem, sends their group chat and included a review of each dish, rating one zero out of 10.

The collection included dinners of ketchup on top of spaghetti, microwaved bacon and a pie that looked like it's been "cooked in a washing machine".

The Twitter thread has since gone viral, receiving over 50,000 likes 6,000 retweets.

Owen wrote: "One of the lads has been sending his scrans [food] into the group chat for the last few weeks and they’ve reached a point where they’re too good not to share."

He wrote: "Starting off strong with chicken nuggets, carrots and rice. Little bit of sauce on there at least there’s an effort."

"Coming up next we’ve got pie on crackers, doesn’t look very appealing but can’t really knock it too much because it’s just a normal pie and crackers."

"Without doubt the single worst meal I have EVER seen consumed, there are starving refugees who would turn their nose up at this, the bacon was also cooked in the microwave."

People took to the comments to share their thoughts with one woman claiming that the pictures had made her sick.

"Looking at those images has given me gout," she wrote.

Another added: "The stuff of absolute nightmares. I’d rather starve."

One person wrote: "Christ there’s some dodgy dodgy scran [food] on there."

However, one person defended the grub, writing: "If someone serves these to me, I will eat them without question, maybe except the microwaved bacon and the last one....they look good to me, even some of them looks like restaurant food."

Clem, the friend who ate the dinners, had the last laugh as he responded on Twitter with a link to the Trussell Trust food banks, writing: "Now yous have all had your laugh, can I be serious? Ye my scrans s**t, but I’ve got something on my plate. Loads of people don’t. Put your money where your mouth is and support your local foodbank."
