Recipe 42: Overcooked-Society's Finest

A classic dish from the depths of the Onion's kitchen, where chefs are forced to cook while being bombarded with the most intense, existential dread.

To make this recipe, first preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of despair, 1 cup of desperation, and 3 cups of existential dread. Add a pinch of hopelessness and stir until well combined.

Sprinkle a dash of sarcasm over the mixture and serve hot, garnished with a side of self-doubt. Serve with a side of 'what is the point of any of this?' and enjoy the existential crisis that is sure to follow.

Side Effects:

Mild to severe existential dread, depending on your personal tolerance for the crushing bleakness of existence.

May cause spontaneous combustion, but only if you're already on the brink of sanity.

Not recommended for those with a strong stomach or a sense of purpose.
