Not really cooking but......we made Fruit Salad in the first lesson of home economics we had at school. I was kind of fudge-fingered with the knife whilst chopping apples, resulting in a nasty cut which bled like a bastard.
Anyhoo I was too scared of not completing the lesson to do anything about it, so carried on preparing the rest of the fruit, bleeding quite profusely all the while.
The result was what would now be called a Medley of Seasonal Fruits in a Hemoglobin Jus , which was proudly served up to my unknowing parents that evening. I didn't eat much of mine.

i think...that every single school made you make fruit salad in the first home. ec class, except at my school, it wasnt home. ec or even just 'cooking' which is what everyone called it, it was 'food technology', probably cos the blenders were about as technologically advanced as the stuff in the wood/metalwork labs, hence i hacked my thumb to pieces with a tenon saw once
