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:

A double boiler, sometimes called a "hot water bath".

Basically a container with what you're cooking inside over the top of a pot of heated water.

It heats things up evenly and gently.

Judging by the can, this thing is meant for multi-day backpacking trips, and you're telling me that on top of tent, sleeping pad, change of clothes, propane stove etc. I have to bring a freaking bain marie along and do some french cooking nonsense in order to get this to taste right, when the patty already looks more like an industrially manufactured pipe seal?

Sure, no problem, I got my bain marie right here, next to my solar powered sous vide oven and my portable overnight charcoal smoker. I don't need room for water or sunscreen or anything, having a gourmet canned cheeseburger is far more important.

LOL
LMAO, even

People use fancy words when they want something to seem important.

or, and hear me out there, other cultures exist outside North America.

It's what it's known as outside of the USA and the term has existed since about 300AD.
