* AlienLunch: Carol is a terrible cook, and her limited resources make it much worse.
** Her spaghetti and raisinballs look and sound pretty gross.
** In season 2, she makes cricket casserole. Some of the bugs are still alive.
** In season 4, she makes imitation guacamole with very strange ingredients, which is supposed to be eaten with uncooked lasagna noodles in place of tortilla chips.



* LethalChef: She does her best, but Carol's not a stellar cook even accounting for the lack of resources. Although with the arrival of Phil Miller #2, she suddenly shows the ability to at least make a decent-looking apple pie. It comes back in force in season 2 with her crickets.
