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:

That's hardly 420°F for 35 minutes, but it'd be a step up from frames 3 & 4.

Update: upon reviewing the images, it appears that a graham crust is used in this recipe. A graham base will overbake to dust at the settings suggested above. Recommend flambé, as originally illustrated, then serve while warm to nearest carnivorous household quadruped. Or not warm, whatever. Drop it behind the dryer so it gets covered in the lint of ghost socks and forget about it for a month, for all they care. It'll taste just as good, or better.

Man I was searching for this scene too. Thx

There are sufficient nuclear weapons right now to erase all human existence. That used to terrify me. Now it is somehow comforting.

The title mentioning Louisiana for an image that mentions West Virginia is confusing.

Which is not important.

However, I've got family in WV. Allll over West Bygod. Live close enough that I can spit and hit the border if there's a strong wind that direction.

Never heard of this. Never had it served at anyone's house.

I suspect whoever posted the original image is full of shit as well as bologna.

There's a lot of solidly WV foods that would be unfamiliar to anyone not from the general vicinity, but this just looks like someone hyping their own weird shit.

Now, I have run across bologna salad. Which isn't as bad as the idea of it.

However, there are recipes for bologna pie online. The only one that looks like this seems to come from The vulgar chef

Some of them look like they might actually taste good.

All of that being said, this isn't any worse than bologna itself. They're just mashing the stuff up and then making it semi-solid again. If you eat bologna at all, the only bad part of this is claiming it's something special. It's like grinding up chorizo, then putting it into muffin tins and pretending it isn't just a new shape. Which is how my best friend's husband's family makes chorizo snacks.

At best, this might be as transformative as bread pudding. Which is going to be way yummier.

Yeah it's a troll post. Also fixed the OG title

No post in this community has ever brought me closer to vomiting than this one. Excellent job, op!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A quick search gives me two sources:

One is a recipe that seems rather tasty and appears to have very little to do with the post, and the other is a video on facebook that seems to be what the post is about.

fb video spoiler: it’s bologna blended in a blender with what appears to be mayonnaise, which is then put into a pie crust and served with mustard (a “must” claims the video’s creator) drizzled atop.

Ok nice to know, in the US bologna is a sausage.

In Europe Bologna is a city and it won’t fit in a blender. Bolognese sauce (ragù alla bolognese) is from Bologna, among many things like being the home of the world oldest university. There’s plenty of meat and food there, but no bologna sausage.

If you’re around Italy I encourage you to visit Bologna, it’s one of my favorite cities in the country and one that is often overlooked as people tends to go elsewhere (mostly Firenze).

But Bologna is the perfect place to enjoy la dolce vita and visit the area with la freccia (Frecciarossa is the Italian high speed train).

And please, don’t blend it into a pie.

When they don't write it baloney. I know, I know.

Ackshually, there's the original Bologna sausage.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortadella

In some parts of Italy they use the name Bologna to refer to the mortadella (e.g. "un'etto di Bologna"), in the same way they'd use Parma or San Daniele for the respective hams. It makes me cringe a little when they do, not gonna lie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ah, I had mortadella my all life but never heard it referred to as as Bologna.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Mortadella Bologna is the PGI (IGP) version.

Ragù alla bolognese is my childhood favorite, and I don’t eat American baloney (bologna), so I don’t associate it with Bologna, Italia at all. None whatsoever.

I sincerely hope that one day I can visit Bologna and eat paste with their famous sauce, and thank you for your reply so I can remember to go there when I’m able.

Mille grazie!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I also sincerely hope you can visit one day.

And on the plus side, they like food, a little… There’s tons (metric ton) of stuff to try besides pasta al ragù.

Oh I have wide taste for many foods, and wouldn’t limit myself to just pasta. That’s just the first dish I’d eat there. Just like anywhere else, I’d want to try as many different dishes and cuisines as I can.

I fucking hate the internet

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Louisiana? Now I want some non-food-crime Muffuletta.

Fuck living in that state made me so fucking fat. I was in decent shape before Louisiana food got me.

Wtf evil is this? What chaos god even dreamt this?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

I bet it's fuckin' nergal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

The biggest crime is how USians pronounce Bologna.

[–] Grass 3 points 4 days ago

oh god I can smell it, like the smell going internally from mouth to nose specifically

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

this is just fleischkäse with a crust

In Germany, we have a version of Jägerschnitzel that is ultimately also just sausage slices fried with some breading. If the pie in the picture was maybe half as thick and properly baked, it probably wouldn't be terrible.

I might legit love this if it were braunschweiger with some mustard taking the place of whipped cream.
