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:

Wtf does vinegar have to do with poached eggs in the first place? Are they boiling a pot of vinegar for some reason?

The vinegar helps the denaturation of the ovalbumin in the egg white which speeds up the solidification process and helps the egg hold its shape better.

I've never heard the word ovalbumin before, but I like it. Albumin largely means protein, but it's using Latin words ovi (egg) and albus (white) so you're saying "the denaturation of the egg white in the egg white."

Ah, maybe! I'm a better cook than I am a student of Latin!
