food

There's no denying the fact that America offers up some pretty wild dining experiences. Or just how America chooses to present its food and drink options. Apparently everything in America is served in monstrous portion sizes compared to what the rest of the world is doing. But hey, we've also got great distinguished cuisine options like heaps of spicy buffalo wings that'll melt your insides and have you cursing the next day's visit to the bathroom. 

There's so much stuff out there that looks like tasty food, it's a shame that a lot of it is housing insulation, spackle, spider eggs and dice. In a perfect would we could eat a rock that looks just like a steak, and we'll have to settle for using our imaginations. We're sorry, you tempting delicious cliff steak.

Food is one of the great joys of life. But when it goes wrong, cursed food can quickly become one of its great terrors. Sometimes we eat stuff that sucks to be polite guests, sometimes we don't realize what we're eating is gonna be bad, and sometimes we're just stupid. At least when it's over we have new insight on the worst things we've tasted.

Why should food be constrained by terms like "appealing" and "not horrible?" Why should food only go in a mouth? Why don't we put scrambled eggs in a shoe? It's all about breaking down paradigms man. Sure, a lot of these are horrible cursed foods, but sometimes it's time to really freak out the squares with some ham ice cream and peanut butter and jelly body art. Open up Satan's crock pot for some cursed foods.

You probably didn't get your day started thinking that you'd end up reading an engaging emotional rollercoaster of a tale about a family's total meltdown over a truckload of rice, but here we are. Writer Shiv Ramdas, delivers us readers a thoroughly engaging read about the kind of fallout that can ensue when you disregard your partner's requests for a certain amount of rice, and overdo the whole thing just to spare yourself the extra trips. Sounds like it doesn't shake out to be a fun scenario at all. 

Every now and again we come across a human being (Ada Powers in this case) that puts forth such a brilliant culinary innovation that we're really just left speechless. In this case, we have the aptly named Totwaffles. If you weren't hungry before reading this informative thread, we can only imagine where the appetite must be at now. Could be a decent thing to throw together during the holidays. 

This couple asked the people of Reddit whether or not they were jerks for wanting to serve Chipotle at their wedding. It sounds like the idea is motivated by sentimentality and the desire to save some money in the process. Most people are of the opinion that it's their wedding, and thus up to them! 

Kids may be weird and dumb, but we can't really fault them for it. These ones are just doing their best to try and provide an accurate and reliable recipes. Will we try them out ourselves? Oh man, definitely not. We'll just have to take it with a grain of salt, and that's it.

Having even a rudimentary knowledge of how basic flavors work is a guaranteed way to improve your cooking and your quality of life. Seriously, knowing just a little bit about how to add salt to food can be night and day. Also it helps to be told that you shouldn't try to catch a falling knife. In addition, here are people's most treasured budget recipes that got them through hard times.

A surprising umber of questionable things can find their way into one's mouth. Most often it's some cursed food made by someone who shouldn't be cooking. Other times it's products that have no business being sold to anyone ever. And on rare occasions you accidentally eat a butterfly while you're riding a bike or something. These are their stories.

Man, to have been the tech support involved with this conundrum. What started as an innocent enough update from the customer about the online ordering system not working, ended up evolving into a full on mess. Technology can be wildly frustrating like that. One little piece being moved around can bring the whole dang tower toppling down. 

Check out some more tech support drama with this belligerent customer who wouldn't cooperate with tech support.

Finally, we have a good old fashioned TIFU that's just believable enough to make this story all the more entertaining. You can all but picture the dude trying to exercise some self restraint in the face of the maddeningly tempting sweet donuts, and ultimately failing miserably. From there, it sounds like he pretty much just committed to robbing that poor family of their precious donuts. With that being said, it's definitely a wholesome and relatable TIFU for anyone that's ever tried to snack on something sweet, and fail to not overdo it. Once you start, it's pretty much impossible to stop, when it comes to those sweet donuts. 

The junk food we grew up with holds a special place in many of our hearts, like this unhealthy indulgence of fast food nostalgia. The 90s were an interesting time for food. Ketchup was blue, food could be "X-treme" and people were trying to fit sugar into every last discoverable crevice on a piece of cereal. Good times. Here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids.

As much drama as there is over dietary restrictions, like this vegan mom who was upset that her stolen candy wasn't vegan or this vegan stepdaughter who couldn't stand that a cat wasn't vegan, it's fun to see the reversal. Here's the meat-eating uncle making a fuss over a single vegan meal he'll have to eat at a wedding. It's a free meal, dude.

At some point in their lives, just about everyone has had to feed themselves on almost no money. The recipes we develop can take on a sort of mythic status and carry on a life of their own. From the broke college student to the random kid rooting around their own kitchen, we all develop our own poverty meals. For the exact opposite of this, here's wild examples of rich people being totally out of touch.

Sure, presentation is important in fancy restaurants, but who wants to pick their dinner out of a comb? You can't blame people for trying something new, but you can totally blame a restaurant for serving a hamburger on a brick and charging an extra five bucks. There are loads of things restaurants try to use instead of dishes.
