Delicious Foods That Were Created by Accident

There are some foods which we just couldn’t live without, but not all of them were the result of culinary genius. In fact, some were never planned at all. Here’s a list of three delicious foods that were created by accident.

Chocolate chip cookies

Ruth Wakefield was attempting to bake chocolate cookies but realized at the last minute that she didn’t have any baker’s chocolate. She rustled through her pantry and discovered sweetened chocolate instead so she broke it into tiny pieces and dropped it into the batter. She expected it to melt and spread to create a regular chocolate cookie but was astonished to see what we now know as a chocolate chip cookie instead.

Cheeseburgers

Who doesn’t love a good cheeseburger? However, the world is extremely lucky that they get to enjoy this invention as originally it was nothing more than a workaround. Budding chef Lionel Sternberger burned the hamburger and slapped a slice of cheese on top to hide the charring. The result was delicious and so the common cheeseburger was born.

Cornflakes

Puritanical dieticians William Keith Kellogg and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg were sure that eating clean and sparse food would help people to lead a moral life. Unfortunately, they left their oats on the side and they crisped up and went stale. The result was the cornflakes that the nation loves today.
