Rate My Plate's WORST ever dishes - and the most savage put downs on Facebook page

You don't have to be a gourmet chef to cook up a delicious meal in the kitchen.

But it appears there are plenty of amateur chefs in the UK who struggle to make an appetising dish.

And in the age of social media, we can document our kitchen failures to millions of people.

Facebook group Rate My Plate features the most hilarious - and disgusting - culinary disasters.

Users post photos of basic meals and let themselves get absolutely roasted by total strangers.

Here are some of the worst, as reported by Mirror Online , but be warned - don't read this while eating!
