3 most popular dishes that were created by accident

Brownies, moldy cheese, or chocolate chip cookies – sometimes it seems that more than one chef has conjured up these dishes, and no one can replicate the recipe. However, this is not the case. And quite a few popular dishes that are adored all over the world were invented quite by accident.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you about the dishes whose appearance was an unexpected surprise for their inventors.

Brownie

Today, this dessert is a favorite in all parts of the world. There are many recipes that help to make an exquisite chocolate cake with a crispy crust on the outside and a sticky filling inside. According to legend, a cook who worked in the house of a wealthy economist once decided to make a lush chocolate cake for lunch. In the process of cooking, the dessert simply "deflated".

Cheese with blue mold

This truly exquisite delicacy, which all cheese gourmets are delighted with, was also invented by accident. Rumor has it that once upon a time a drunken cheese maker left a piece of bread in his cheese cave. When he returned, he noticed that the bread had become so moldy that it had spread to the cheese, turning it completely blue.

Chocolate chip cookies

Just tell me, who hasn't at least once tasted incredibly tender and crunchy chocolate chip cookies? We owe the origin of this dessert to a woman who didn't have enough ingredients to make it. One day she was waiting for guests and was going to bake her signature cookies. She was missing just a little bit of flour and decided to add a few slices of chocolate in the hope that they would dissolve in the dough. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this was not to be. The result was the kind of chocolate chip cookies we're used to seeing on store shelves.
