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 beans and rice bowls look pretty good, although I'll bet they're not spicy enough.
The cheese things... I can't even figure out what's supposed to be in there.
My guess is pollo fundido. It’s like a chimichanga covered in cheese and creamy sauce.

Those are slices of American Cheese, which is a pasteurized processed cheese food. Not actual cheese.
It makes a nostalgic grilled cheese but whatever is underneath in the pic, it doesn’t deserve that blanket.
I will say this, while this does seem like a weird combo, The US has a knack for transforming simple, low-quality ingredients amazingly delicious dishes.
I’d try it prior to hating it. It’s pretty good, regardless of the of cheese.
