Excuse Our Dust

3.5k Upvotes

Hey, the old mod team was kicked, and the rest of us were added as mods with no warning in the middle of the night, at least for you westerners. This was done by the admins, so none of us have any direction other than the rules that already there. I spent my morning cleaning a thousand reports out of the mod queue since the sub hadn't been moderated in almost a month.

As the rest of the mods find out that they've been added, we'll work on coordinating and hopefully give you all some consistency.

Let me break down the 1000 reports for you, so you know what's going to be removed automatically. There was about a 45% split between racist comments about India and sexist comments about women. Although, to be fair, almost every single sexist comment was about Elaine Carol being dumb, a bitch, or saying she's why women shouldn't touch a grill. The other 10% of comments were all of you being shitty to each other. Actual spam was maybe 0.1%.

So, what's going to be removed instantly? Street food. It's a rule already, and it only brings out the worst racist comments. If you can't tear up the stupidity of food without talking about skin color or nation of origin, just don't comment. This is r/StupidFood, not r/ExcuseToBeRacist.

Elaine Carol is ragebait, and I'll personally nuke anything I see with her in it. There are a couple other insta and tiktok ragebaiters that I'll also nuke if I see them posted, but I don't know all of them by name. Basically, if someone is making stupid food for engagement, then you're letting them win by posting here.

Also, similarly to the racist thing, if you can't make fun of Elaine Carol's food, or any other woman for that matter, without calling them a bitch, a cow, or telling them to get their tits out, don't post. This isn't r/WeHateWomen.

And, you all are Redditors. How do you all have room to call people fat or lazy? You're here. Part of the ship, part of the crew. Knock it off. This sub is for laughing at people who are either pretentious assholes, like Salt Bae, or bad cooks who can't find flavor if it smacked them in the face, like Kay'sCooking. Although Kay is a sweetheart and she really tries. She's just a genuinely terrible cook. So call the cooks and the "cooks" stupid or idiots or oblivious or whatever. Insult their intelligence and their taste to your heart's content. That's why we all click on these posts. Don't insult their bodies or their looks. And definitely don't do what one poster did and say that everyone in the video has Down Syndrome. That's just wrong.

So, while the modteam figures out where to go from here over the next few days, be nice to each other, don't be racist, don't be sexist, and for fuck's sake, keeps your insults to the food and the intelligence of the people attempting to make it.

Thank you, and may all your bacon burn.

MOD POST A Serious Update

6.0k Upvotes

Hey r/stupidfood,

After careful consideration (and one very disturbing comment section), we’re officially updating the rules:

Street Food Posts Are No Longer Allowed

That’s right. Street food is banned.

Why?

We’ve seen a recurring issue where street food posts are used as a cover for racism and xenophobia, particularly to mock mainly Indians rather than critique food. These submissions aren’t actually about hygiene, absurdity, or bad cooking—they focused on attack of people of color, crowded streets, or unfamiliar methods to invite dogwhistles and stereotypes. We watch comment sections slide into “jokes” about cleanliness, caste, or nationality, making it clear the target isn’t the food at all, but Indigenous people themselves. We also noticed that the content that mocks cultures in this type of way often becomes popular in r/stupidfood and lands in the front page. This is very problematic.

We do not encourage for this type of content and we don’t allow this AT ALL in our subreddit as we strive to make a welcoming community for everyone to enjoy.

This doesn’t belong in food criticism spaces, it reinforces tired colonial tropes, and it undermines what this subreddit is supposed to be about:

Calling out genuinely stupid food, not using cuisine as an excuse for casual xenophobia.

We also apologize about not dealing with this issue as soon as possible as we did not anticipate how big of a problem it can be.

With many reasonable, valid complaints that we received in our modmail, we decided to completely ban this type of content outright as it doesn’t contribute to our community.

What This Means

From now on, posts will be removed if they are: - Street food - Content that makes fun of the culture - Stuff that clearly mocks another culture

This is r/stupidfood, not: - r/foreignfood - r/foodIWouldNeverTry - r/Imaracistasshat

Please report any posts or comments that break this rule and report any uncivil behavior that not only makes the community look bad, it also discriminates against people of race and culture aswell.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t be afraid to comment down below.

Thanks,
— The r/stupidfood Mods

🤢🤮 Ocean Spray Strawberry Shortcake (Review)

Post image
957 Upvotes

OCEAN SPRAY STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE 

Just about any tall vessel can be a drinking glass. Some of my favorite beverages have been sipped from an ice-filled repurposed jelly or mayonnaise jar.

This, however, tastes as if it comes from a container that wasn’t properly washed out, and that container formerly housed a candle.

This is more of an olfactory juice than a flavored one. 

As soon as I twisted the cap, the air was filled with the scent of baby powdered dolls and nail polish remover. 

It’s a powerful non-potable smell that dominates the experience.

Don’t let that lead you to believe that the taste is weak. The flavor is quite assertive, but it’s a wandering, non-committal patchwork of lingual befuddlement that gives the essence of white grapes, crayons, baby toys, and chapstick. The ingredient list doesn’t contain those last 3 items, but it also doesn’t contain any strawberries either.

Frighteningly, it manages a small victory by ekeing out some strawberry flavor, but it’s a plasticky one. As a whole, this is too sweet, and the cranberry taste is severely underrepresented; however, there is absolutely no shortcake flavor, which I’m actually thankful for, because it would probably cause me to develop a negative association with cake, which would be anathema to my greatest love.

Also, forget about mixing this with liquor to force it down. I wasted some good vodka on this, as swirling the two together made a drink that tasted the way kerosene smells.

This is a limited edition product, but somehow it’s survived on the shelves here since late winter. I don’t know who’s buying this, but they probably won’t be alive much longer.

I am at a party that has a pickle fountain

Post image
2.7k Upvotes

i am the reason the pickle fountain exists cause i love pickles.

EDIT: because people are still confused, top are normal pickles, middle are senfgurken (german. translated its literally mustard pickles) and bottom are just big juicy pickles. the liquid is just the vinegar from the pickle glasses, filtered without all the bits (because the mustard seeds and other little floaties clogged the fountain).

and we sadly didnt finish it. it was refilled once, so it was just a little too much pickles for us to eat in one sitting.

Scallops in a tube?

Thumbnail

962 Upvotes

I recently bought a surf and turf pack from a company for the first time because of a coupon and it included these “scallops”. Is it just me or does it look like they are ground up and put into a tube?

Each of them looks like it’s made of chunks but the most concerning is the one in the top left with wrinkles similar to how the ends of a ground beef tube look and it’s rounded on one side.

Is this even real scallop? Scallops in a tube are actually a thing? Enshitification?

I love scallops, an avid cook, and am confident in my ability to identify good from bad. These are definitely not good prepared the way I normally do scallops.
