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.)

Vinegar...?
the method requires to poach eggs on water with few drops of vinegar, not 100% vinegar
Helps hold the whites intact I believe? Maybe I was lied to about putting some vinegar in with boiled eggs to stop seepage if they crack?
My research into this previously had indicated this is an old wives tale. Don't take my word for it though, since I can't poach an egg to save my life.
Makes sense. Both acid and heat denature protein.
Yeah, but typical white vinegar is 5% acetic acid. Putting a few drops, or even a teaspoon in a pot of water would reduce it to a negligible concentration and would have no effect on the eggs.
That's also not really considering any chemical reaction with the calcium in the shell just neutralizing the vinegar anyway.
