a recipe for disaster?

How would one go about writing up a recipe for disaster? 

- It might be cooked in a slow cooker, simmering for hours and hours until at last it results in a food item that falls apart at the slightest provocation, like fall-off-the-bone ribs (ribs?  Some kind of pot roast meat?  My vegetarianism makes me ignorant of many meat-related analogies and descriptions).

- It might be sloshed together in a fry pan, and then flambéed

- It may be baked in a ramekin, placed in a hot water bath, then blowtorched upon reentry out of the oven and into the kitchen

- Perhaps disaster is like a Caeser salad, tossed tableside and included the dreaded, stinky anchovies

- Could disaster be an item that has been freezer-burned, forgotten in the chilly depths of the freezer?

- Or maybe disaster is like a banana that has been left out to ripe and become overripen and ridden with fruit flies.  (Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.)
