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.)

Oh that’s just one example. Pass denied.
edit: feel free to point out weird food from here, I probably will agree.
You want the really weird I can give you that to, down here we eat nutria. Basically water rats. I have no problem insulting our cuisine, but as a green ball once said " if you are going to insult me do it properly"
Hey, I didn’t name it cheesecake, the restaurant in New Orleans did.
Because tourists from the Midwest can’t pronounce etouffee
Tourists cannot pronounce most of the street names here and we’re fine with it. Make tourists learn new vocabulary, or at least believe they’re visiting a different country or something. If you call it cheesecake, expect them to think of it as cheesecake.
Thanks, Poindexter. I’m not the guy that named it though.
Me neither, so anyone saying I should insult them correctly when someone local to NOLA named it cheesecake needs to reevaluate something.
New Orleans is the only city in Louisiana, got it.
The restaurant the photo is from is in New Orleans. That’s the entire basis of the statement. Got that?
Yes but you are saying that Louisiana cuisine only comes from NOLA and claimed I was a NOLA resident both of which are wrong.
No, I absolutely did not.
You offered a quote that said that if I was going to insult you, to do it properly, implying offense to it being called cheesecake.
You can go read my reply that says “Hey, I didn’t name it cheesecake, the restaurant in New Orleans did.” Meaning that you were evidently being insulted by a restaurant in NOLA, and not me, because I didn’t name the dish in the photo.
That’s it. That’s all that applies to you.
Next guy tells me it’s apparently named cheesecake because the real name is too hard for tourists to say, and in a manner I replied that it would be better to call it what is, because if something (still referring to this one dish in the photo here, not all of LA cuisine, or where it’s called elsewhere) is being called cheesecake by a place, expect people to think of it as cheesecake. And that I also did not name it cheesecake, so the whole “insulting” thing may need to be reevaluated since it came from someone in NOLA and not me, state foreigner.
That’s it. Still no commentary about LA cuisine as a whole only coming from NOLA. I have no idea where you got that. Just talking about this one dish from this one restaurant and the repercussions of them naming this thing cheesecake instead of what it actually is, and this is all connected to that quote regarding insulting someone properly, and the fact that it’s coming from a local there, not from me.
That’s it. Nothing but that. Please point to where I’m saying all your food comes from New Orleans.
edit: also, please point to where I say you are a NOLA resident. I’ve only gone along with your own claim of being a Louisiana resident.
Goddamn you just love to be a shithead don’t you
He apparently needed an explanation so I very clearly put it to rest. You’re also free to point out to me where I said what he claimed. Go ahead. I still don’t understand how I could possibly be talking about all Louisiana food in any capacity when I literally was talking about one dish from one restaurant and I kept referring to that one place. If you’re going to start whining and snarking at me with accusatory nonsense, I’m going to set you straight.
And that includes you.
Also, I didn’t resort to any name calling anywhere in this thread, including that explanation, yet you have twice because apparently you have no intelligence response past the first one, which barely qualified. So I’m not the shithead here, you are.

That’s the smartest thing you’ve said.

Gotta have the last word huh? 🤣
