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 [email protected]!
(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.)

The only problem here is proportions.
The use of sweetness in chili to both enhance and control spice is pretty bog standard. Use of acids is too. And topping it with things is another very common way to enjoy the dish.
Tomato is a freaking fruit, botanically, and nobody would complain about a nice salsa on top of chili.
People just like being food snobs because they get to feel superior with almost no effort beyond parroting things other people say.
Now, this picture does seem unbalanced. That much pineapple is going to mask any subtle flavors in the chili, and that's not how I would enjoy it. That being said, if someone dislikes chili, this would be a great way to mask the flavors lol.
But in smaller amounts? You'd get this sweet/sour/moist burst in among bites. Nothing wrong with that at all
Edit: the food snobbery part wasn't directed at anyone specific, just a general comment on how folks will see some unusual food combo and start in on things.
Trust me, that's not the only thing wrong with this picture...
Consider this... both "ingredients" are more than 2 weeks old. Aged like a fine wine.
Lovely subtle taste of mold.
Ahhh, now that's disgusting. No way in hell I'd trust that, no matter how perfectly refrigerated it was. Frozen yeah, but you wouldn't have given the age if it had been frozen.
It's one of the reasons why it looks so bad here, the color is off because they've been fermenting in their own juices.
Funnily tho, it didn't smell bad.
