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:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. 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:

Double food crime if they're fried up in gutter oil!

It can be used to describe the illicit practice of restaurants reusing cooking oil that has already been cooked with longer than safety codes permit. It can also be used to describe the reprocessing of rancid yellow grease collected from sources such as restaurant fryers, kitchen and slaughterhouse waste and sewer drains.

Gutter oil is the biggest food crime around.

Pair this with some grilled ice and you've got a pretty good meal going.

Anybody test these stones for lead? Sounds like something someone who eats lead would create.

Calling it now, this will become an expensive specialty seafood dish. There's precedent for foods with rocks as an ingredient to get a substitution for clams and oysters

Edit: there's an Italian soup that got it's name in a famine because it was literally cooked with river rocks

[–] GONADS125@feddit.de 12 points 10 months ago

I believe the name was based on a European folk tale, not actually using stones as ingredients. Here's an account of the fable.

Here is an article specifically about the Italian dish you're referring to, which also attributes its name to the fable; not actual stones as an ingredient.

Stone soup in the European sense typically just refers to a hearty soup with basic ingredients and is just reference to the fable meant to promote sharing/community. There's a lot of retelling of it, including other inedible objects other than stones.

They're a little crunchy tho

Geophagia isn't that uncommon.

Since you don't even swallow these it's no different from licking spicy sauce off of a spoon.

be extra nice if these links were all set to open in a new window/tab. js

not going to find french fry flavored rocks at McDs anytime soon. maybe a dieting angle. salted rocks please. hold the rocks or they give you mostly rocks

Ngl, i legit think it sounds like a really fun & awesome snack!

It essentially gives all the pleasure of eating a well spiced dish without the calories.. i could see it as the perfect snack for stoners.

I've heard of "if life gives you lemons, make lemonade," but this is ridiculous.
