Welcome to a little slice of culinary heaven where we share photos of our favorite dishes, from savory succulent sausages to delicious and delectable desserts. Made it yourself? We'd love to hear your recipe!

Rules:

1. BE KIND

Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.

2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca

I mean it's cool to see pretty vegan food and all but honestly I kinda wish we didn't just post random hyper-photogenic stuff from other social media here...

It feels kinda cheap and hollow to me, vs people posting stuff they made, or had at a restaurant

I don't really wanna see random junk that trends on Instagram, there's no human connection there....

I'm with you 100% but sadly the rules in this community allow this stuff to be posted, and sure it has garnered lots of likes so OP will continue to post this stuff. I wrote suggesting to the admin to look into it as its going to get out of control, but honestly I think unsubscribing is where I'm heading. Sadly this hyper overly saturated and AI manipulated stuff that ruins Instagram is starting to creep into Lemmy.

I mean if it's mostly one poster it might also be viable to block one or two people. I can understand just deciding this isn't the space for you

If I remember right there's also !tonightsdinner@lemmy.world, but I don't remember if it's very active at all

Why do you keep posting other people pics without credit?

God Western vegetarianism is unappealing. Give me an Indian vegetarian cusine any day of the week.

Tbf I don't know any vegetarians that actually eat this chopped raw crap, its just really easy to take pretty photos of it for the 'gram. I mean look at that, raw cabbage and bell pepper? That doesn't taste good, it's paired entirely for the color gradient.

A couple of those bowls look incredibly unpleasant to eat.

... That sounds kinda rough on the 'ol tooth enamel.
