There`s no doubt that BTS love food. Oldest hyung Jin and Golden Maknae Jungkook undoubtedly have the largest appetites and ARMY loves watching the septet eat heartily. Fans are also familiar with Jin and Suga`s masterchef-level cooking abilities. But did you know that the rest of BTS have some great cooking abilities up their sleeves too? Take a look - (All Photos/YouTube, Twitter)

BTS celebrate their group anniversary every year by hosting an event named `FESTA.` The septet celebrated their very first anniversay in June, 2014 by throwing a house party. Everybody was assigned different duties - main chef Jin cooked a delicious Korean stew while Namjoon was on assistance duty. Their financial constraints at the time meant they had limited kitchen space - and even chopped vegeatbles by squatting on the floor! BTS truly has come a long way since then

Fans love to see BTS don their chef hats. One of the earliest Run BTS! episodes (the group`s very own variety show) saw them divided into teams. Under Suga and Jin`s leadership (the two best chefs in the group), BTS tried cooking different dishes

Jungkook`s kimchi fried rice was a hit! And of course, Taehyung had to arrive to steal a few bites from his dongsaeng (younger brother)

BTS`s leader Kim Namjoon aka RM might have an IQ of 148 and eloquent songwriting and rapping skills - but he can be a clumsy gentle giant when it comes to everyday tasks. He once tried to chop an onion with the knife`s cover still on it - and here, he tried to straining noodles by putting his hands into the boiling water. No wonder Jin looks so agitated!

The episode had plenty of comedic moments as well. Jungkook`s sticky glazed potatoes lived up to their name to the point where they wouldn`t come off of the plate!

Kimchi is an integral element of Korean cuisine, and BTS had a long of fun making their own fresh kimchi from different vegetables such as cabbage, radish and spring onions

`95 liners Taehyung and Jimin cooked some orochiette pasta. RM accidentally mistook this cute-shaped pasta for garlic - if not for Jin`s observant eye, the `95 chingus might not have had a dish to serve at all. Oh, Namjoon

Another episode of BTS`s hilarious variety show featured an avatar-style game. Once again, teams were split between Jin and Suga, who would sit in a separate room and give instructions to the members cooking through a walkie talkie. But the catch was that the instructions could not be relayed directly. Jin or Suga could only talk to one of the members of the cooking pair, who would then further relay the instruction to the other. As expected, this resulted in a lot of chaos - Jungkook and Taehyung could not figure out how to tie their aprons. They also did all sorts of antics - from V accidentally washing green onion with boiling hot water to Jungkook tasting soy sauce to make sure it wasn`t something else!

Clumsy Namjoon once again could not be trusted near anything potentially hazardous - and a kitchen is full of dangerous equipment! From trying to check the underside of a pancake with his `X-Ray` vision, to adding ginger-garlic paste into the wrong bowl to adding salt twice, assuming it is sugar - this episode truly gave us some laugh-out-loud moments

In The Soop truly gave ARMY some unfiletered moments of BTS cooking and unwinding. In this instance, they put together every leftover ingredient from their fridge, including rice to create some classic Korean comfort food - kimchi fried rice. The Bangtan Boys were so sleepy that they ate right out of the pan!

Masterchef Suga returned to cook some delicious, smoky meats on a camping style grill. Yoongi might seem aloof, but no one cares more for the Bangtan members than he does - he braved the eye-watering smoke just to whip up something hearty for the BTS!

ARMY got to watch BTS eating peacefully and sharing meaningful conversations over food. Group dinners are the best - and what food tastes better than that which you cook yourself?

BTS and ramen go hand-in-hand. No matter how full the members might be, there`s always that extra bit of reserved tummy room for ramen. Jungkook is the septet`s self-proclaimed ramen expert - and boy, does he make our mouth water with his noodle masterpieces
