Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.
Right now, here’s the rules:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.
How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz
or foo bar baz [Meta]
would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.
Finished checking out all the posts here? Also checkout !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca!
(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

I don't think it's gross - not like some of the horrible taste combinations I see here - but I've never been big on the bread/pasta combinations that pop up. One I've seen a lot is a mac and cheese sandwich. It's just too much starchy stuff in one bite.
On the other hand, I love scooping some really saucy spaghetti onto my garlic bread, and this isn't super far from that. It doesn't sound great, but not revolting either.
It's almost as if all starches aren't created equal or something... 🤔
Damn carbists.
True, but for most of them, combining starch with starch just seems like overkill, not enhancement. I love mashed potatoes and I love rice, but never really want to combine them. Same with pastas and breads.
Maybe exceptions in moderation with enough other things. Like I've made Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches that have turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy on sliced bread. But the potatoes and stuffing are more like a condiment, with a lot more turkey and a good amount of gravy. And even then, they're not something I'd want regularly, and the bread is more of a convenience to hold it together.
