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.)

It looks like as if you explained a low-country boil to an alien.
"Arthropods, tubers and pig flesh encased in tubing. Got it."
LOL, you just reminded me that this dish exists:
This is Yen Ta Fo (Pink Noodle Soup), a popular street food in Thailand. It's often viciously spicy yet tangy and subtly sweet and pretty much always has some sort of seafood in it (usually shrimp, fish cake, octopus etc.), as well as some sort of meat, with coagulated pork blood being a rather popular choice (the version in the picture has fried tofu instead). So pretty much the Thai version of a seafood boil.
I always though it looks like something aliens might eat and it tends to look rather offensive to western tastes, but done well, it's actually quite good.
