One user added, “Honestly? I’m not disgusted.” Another person, completely offended, wrote, “WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO MAKE THIS, AND WHY??”

“Painfully unfunny,” a user expressed their disappointment, while one commenter, thundered, “THIS IS PURE MURDER.”

Recently, Calvin Lee, also known as @foodmakescalhappy on Instagram, was trending with his latest unusual recipe – a combination of baked beans and ice cream sundae. The Singaporean influencer is also known for pairing bizarre things together, like his cheese-infused Coke and Ferrero Rocher pasta.

A food stall in Raipur, Chhattisgarh had also taken the culinary scene by surprise of late with its unique blue ocean dosas. The dosa, a popular south Indian delicacy, is distinguished by its golden-brown colour and served with a variety of chutneys and sambar. However, this rendition totally defied the norms.
