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.

(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.)

MODERATORS
Since I am an eating monster (for some reason I need like 3200+ calories a day or my BMI goes underweight) and have a tiny fridge. This often ends up happening not on purpose when I store leftover portions.
But according to science it will have half the calories
If Lovecraft was a chef.
I would do this, if I ever cooked spaghetti. I hate long noodles and will cut them up every time.
You been sliced!
Someday all food will be in cubes. Some day.
Im not the biggest rachael ray fan but I am of a marry the sauce and noodle mind. Honestly though im a food mixer in general. I love having a bit of everything in every bite.
slice and dry like ramen
I know enough people who break their spaghetti before cooking them or who cut them before serving them.
I die a little inside every time.
I die a little inside every time I hear a noodle slurped
Bet you hate Tampopo then
I'm just gonna go ahead and say yes and not click the video lol. I can be incredibly sensitive to certain noises. Pretty sure I have misophonia
I die a little inside every time.
Why is that?
It goes against my culinary convictions. 😄
It is meant to be enjoyed in its full, long form - in my book. Breaking spaghetti changes the texture and how it twirls around a fork, thus changing the classic dining experience.
Plus, long spaghetti is (are?) perfect for catching the sauce evenly.
None of this will keep anyone from breaking them, but it keeps my world safe and sound. 😁
Nah, i prefer to cut and mix them instead of that thwirling and slurping. They could make Spaghetti Couscous-sized for all i care. But you do you.
How else are you to fit them into small pots?
You need to watch the pot but laying them over the pot of boiling water until they're soft enough to bend in the middle works fine.
Wtf is wrong with that "spaghetti"? Why is it that colour? Is that actually some kind of east Asian noodle?
It's the light, get some sleep.
Nah, that stuff is made from soft wheat, not durum. I'm not in the USA, it was early evening when I wrote that comment ;)
