Growing up my foodie Dad had a huge section of his bookcase that was dedicated to cookbooks. I'd be able to rifle through books about indigenous Colombian cuisine, classic French cookbooks, and gorgeously photographed tomes of food from the Levant. I did notice, however, that he rarely, if ever, used these books. It turns out my parents needed that section not because my dad loves cookbooks, but because people love giving them to him. I wonder what would happen if they bothered to ask what he w…

Issa test, Monty passed

When I was a kid I was obsessed with peanut butter. I'd go to my friends' houses and eat it straight out of the jar when I thought they weren't looking. I shoplifted Reese's cups and dreamed about Butterfingers. It wasn't because I had an actual addition - it was just because my sister was (and maybe still is?) deathly allergic to peanuts. It was a pretty early discovery for my household, but not early enough for me to forget the sumptuous joy of bread slathered in rich and creamy peanut butter…

“Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?” asked comedian Eric Andre. After he uttered the question on a 2016 episode of his show, a meme was born. And on this internet, there are plenty of hilarious opinions that people are excited to share with everyone.

Remember the days when finding the right place to eat lunch in the cafeteria was the most high-stake decision you could make? When you're in school, it really is critical to find a group and stick with them during your 45 minutes of freedom. If you don't have a group you can tolerate eating with every day, you might end up eating lunch in the stairwell, which I definitely did not do during my sophomore year of high school. Luckily, eating lunch alone is a lot less of a big deal when you're an a…

It's exactly what it sounds like

It's Thanksgiving, and you know what that means? It's time to eat some seasonally appropriate food like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce! It's so interesting that most of us eat the same thing for Thanksgiving every year. Imagine what Thanksgiving would be like if we drank mashed potato-flavored wine instead of red wine. What if we stuffed the bird with baked beans? What if, instead of slicing congealed cranberry sauce from a can, we sliced congealed gravy? Unfortunately,…

On Christmas Day, customers usually have enough shame to not show up at a fast food place. They ask insecure questions about when the company lets the employees go home. When you deliver the sad news that you're working until closing, they retreat to their table to eat their McChicken with embarrassed expressions. Unfortunately, during Thanksgiving, customers have a lot less shame. They find it incredibly quirky to go to Popeyes for Thanksgiving instead of cooking a homemade meal. Working in fa…

While we know that astrology is a controversial topic (people tend to enjoy it, or they don't believe it, or simply don't care), we think that there are a whole lot of great memes that have come of it. There are also tons of astrologers and wannabe astrologers who spend time likening the signs to everything from cringey neckbeards to kitchen appliances . Usually we say the weirder the better, but our absolute favorite assignments have to do with food. I'll never forget the day I saw a post that…

Every Thanksgiving, American families gather together to celebrate with food and fun activities. In some families, one person or family does all the cooking, while in others, each person brings a dish. Some people took to the internet to share their turkeys and side dishes on r/StupidFood - and some of them are pretty off the wall! Whether it's a mushy turkey slop or a sushi roll formed out of cranberry sauce and stuffing, these people opted for the weird and wacky this Thanksgiving. Keep scrol…
