During yet another Reddit doom scroll, I came across r/ididnthaveeggs, a subreddit dedicated to some of the most absurd recipe reviews that exist in the wild. And since I love internet drama just as much as I love food, that doom scroll lasted hours. So sit back, laugh, and cry with me as you read through these.
