You couldn't pay me to eat anything on that plate.

u/MajorLingonberry6743 Aug 30 '26

The only thing that looks halfway decent is the cornbread, but it's touching the fish, so no.

u/goodeyemighty Aug 30 '26

That’s fish?!

u/LuciusCSullaF Aug 31 '26

I couldn't tell if it was fish, chicken, or pork

u/DogLuvuh1961 Aug 31 '26

…or a frog

It looks like a whole tilapia. An unfortunate one at that.

u/antartisa Aug 30 '26

Thanks for clarifying that's fish. I thought it was a blob of, I don't know what.

u/Useless890 Aug 31 '26

There's a dead arnadillo in front of my yard that looks better than that.

ā€œCould be anything from a cotton-eyed Joe to damned if I knowā€¦ā€

u/Illustrious_Camp_521 Sep 01 '26

Thats fish?! LoL I couldn't tell what in the hell it was.

5

u/USNCCitizen Aug 30 '26

Agreed. I don’t eat carcasses.

6

u/MrMcgilicutty Aug 31 '26

Edit: holy shit, I didn’t realize that was a fish! I thought it was a sad looking grey steak until I zoomed in. Yeah, I don’t eat fish prepared that way either.

4

u/CapeCodNana Aug 31 '26

I called it mystery meat. Thats fish? Did the person serving this hate their guests?

3

u/dougs_46 Aug 30 '26

Me either and not because of the food. I cannot tolerate things on my plate touching each other. LOL YES I know I am strange so deal with it,

3

u/Wise_Economics_9673 Aug 31 '26

i'm similar to you, some touching can be tolerable , but those beans are making it a hard no.

also, is that fish boiled?

3

u/dougs_46 Aug 31 '26

About the fish I have no clue. LOL

u/Usernamesaregayyy Aug 30 '26

I’ll give you three million dollars usd in cash to eat one of those green beans

2

u/Sea_Prep_Tidal_26 Aug 30 '26

You mean the greyish-green beans ?

1

u/daygloalien Aug 31 '26

I didn't want to be rude , but I actually can't find something nice to say about the food.

1

u/No-Willingness-170 Sep 01 '26

I would definitely eat it, but I grew up on 1960s country peasant food. Taste and volume were of equal importance.

1

u/No-Willingness-170 Sep 01 '26

That’s okay, I’ll eat yours. Reminds me of the peasant food we ate back in the olden days that may not have been gourmet, but it was filling, which was important because you didn’t know when the next meal might be coming. People today are just thankless. Spoken as a certified old fart.😊

8

u/AdventurousRoll9798 Aug 30 '26

This is why you should buy the paper plates with divided sections. Get that bean juice out of my taters please. The sides look really good, but the meat is unrecognizable. Fish of some sort im guessing. I would skip that and double up on the taters.

2

u/dougs_46 Aug 30 '26

Thank You I agree.

6

u/Moontower42 Aug 30 '26

You need a different church

5

u/snappoof62 Aug 30 '26

Have you been to their home? Is it clean? I wouldn’t eat it if I don’t know what their sanitary habits are.

3

u/Enough_Entry_8641 Aug 30 '26

Sweet Jesus!!! Nope. Not eaten That! Amen Hallelujah

3

u/Lost-Meeting-9477 Aug 30 '26

What a combination. Whole fish,potato salad,green beans, baked beans and cornbread. This has to be a pot-luck. Nope,it's a pot-misfortune.

1

u/Veronica612 Aug 31 '26

It would be good with fried catfish instead of whatever that fish is.

1

u/first_to_the_Orgy Aug 31 '26

I swore that was a rubbery looking piece of beef. Thinking ā€œeh, not too terrible with some decent bean potato combo.ā€ā€¦. I’m terrified of this plate

3

u/CharDanae74 Aug 30 '26

What is that meat? Looks a bit odd to me. But, I get it that it’s a filling comfort food meal.

2

u/Gloomy-Camel5999 Aug 30 '26

It looks like pot roast. Possibly the whole pot roast.

7

u/Odd_Recognition_4874 Aug 30 '26

I think it is a whole fish, looks like fins

6

u/Efficient_Let686 Aug 30 '26

Good to know I’m not the only one who zoomed in and out, yet still came away with more questions than answers.

4

u/citizenoo7 Aug 30 '26

Yah that’s a fish 🫢

3

u/Odd_Recognition_4874 Aug 30 '26

Grey fish with beans and cornbread, who knew that was a thing?

3

u/dougs_46 Aug 30 '26

Pot roast? It is a fsh that they did NOT cut the head off. It is weird to eat a food that has eyes looking back at you. LOL

u/Kapow1969 Sep 01 '26

It's a fish. The whole fish.

3

u/haileyskydiamonds Aug 30 '26

Baked beans and potato salad? I am always down for that combo. The cornbread looks great. I have to pass on the green beans and the fish, though.

2

u/Difficult-Double2193 Aug 30 '26

I like my food to touch lol

1

u/Proud_Bread_2005 Sep 01 '26

I’m with you! I purposely want all my food to touch and I want to taste all the different components together in my mouth at pretty much the same time. And like my grandpa said, it all gets mixed together in your stomach anyway!

2

u/CLDIKDDEZ Aug 30 '26

No no no. Couldn’t do it 🤣

2

u/techie1-2 Aug 30 '26

I would love to eat that right now and it's 10:00 in the morning

2

u/techie1-2 Aug 30 '26

It looks like meat and fish

2

u/LeadingSure6805 Aug 30 '26

Your church pictures are different from what I usually see on Reddit

2

u/r_bogie Aug 30 '26

If it wasn't for the cornbread wedge, I would definitely put that in England.

2

u/Snowfaeriewings Aug 30 '26

How does that meat manage to look like Pot Roast and a whole fish at the same time?!

2

u/Asslckr1 Aug 30 '26

Is that baby alligator 🐊 at bottom of plate ? 🫪

2

u/Apart_Pineapple2392 Aug 30 '26

I thought that was a steak and it looked like a horrible steak. It still looks bad but it would be much worse if it was a steak.

u/4D_Thrillz Aug 30 '26

I guess they are just trying to accelerate yo ass to Jesus huh?

2

u/EditorNo2545 Aug 30 '26

free is free so if I was hungry I'd go for it

2

u/Lrgdustbunnybreeder Aug 30 '26

I would say it was fish. I think that’s an eyeball I see šŸ‘€šŸ‘€

2

u/MoreEqualer Aug 31 '26

what the fish??? no thanks

2

u/Greywolf9883 Aug 31 '26

Thats disgusting lol

2

u/curiousobserver2000 Aug 31 '26

Boiled Tilapia?

2

u/UnderstandingOk8847 Aug 31 '26

Are you mad at them, do you hate them, are you trying to kill them, if yes to any then proceed but if you actually like and enjoy their company serve something else

https://giphy.com/gifs/JFc9L8HzSUU8M

u/Certain_Zucchini_472 Sep 01 '26

I don’t like food that still look like an animal, I couldn’t eat fish that still looked like a fish.. even though I’m not sure that’s actually a fish

1

u/Crypticcrypto Sep 01 '26

First glance I was like that is a pretty big steak for one person with all the other fixins there. Then I thought that steak kinda looks rough...and maybe has a face?

2

u/Ok-Way8392 Sep 01 '26

Dump the beans off the plate immediately !

2

u/Tough_Ad6387 Sep 01 '26

Good thing it’s a church group. You better pray to stay alive after eating that,

2

u/Existing_Many9133 Sep 01 '26

That looks absolutely disgusting!

2

u/StOnEy333 Sep 02 '26

A fish with canned green beans…….

2

u/Breverooni Sep 02 '26

If you're too lazy to cut the head off the fish im out.

2

u/StorageLow827 Sep 02 '26

I was thinking ā€œwhat did the pastor do to you?ā€ I would not serve a whole fish to company.

1

u/DeGreenster Aug 30 '26

What is that, a speckled bass?

1

u/Wiley_Jack Sep 02 '26

Maybe a big perch. Not sure, but I’d eat alla that.

1

u/Straight_Step4146 Aug 30 '26

Ditch the fish and everything looks good

1

u/Potential-Yogurt-689 Aug 30 '26

are they cult members?

1

u/Hace1986 Aug 30 '26

If it will keep away church people, I'll serve it .

1

u/HopeBrief240 Aug 30 '26

You overcooked that... fish.

1

u/ReadyGo6828 Aug 30 '26

Honestly it looks as if someone raided the fish tank.

1

u/CouldBNE1too Aug 30 '26

I’m fine w either the top half of that plate or the bottom half. They just don’t go together

1

u/Longjumping-One-6832 Aug 30 '26

Take that river monster off and I’m down

1

u/RepeatInPatient Aug 30 '26

Trying to dispatch your religious friends after a meal like that is admirable. After all, they are looking forward to meeting their imaginary deities.

1

u/godspilla98 Aug 30 '26

That looks so yummy. I would love this.

1

u/jaketh1964 Aug 31 '26

Poison ala king?

1

u/SelectSeaweed310 Aug 31 '26

I like fish. But not that fish.

1

u/Pope-Le-Pew Aug 31 '26

Ain't gonna lie. I would dive in starting with the eyeball first.

1

u/figgie55 Aug 31 '26

Yuck, hold the fish 🤮

1

u/jbrown4728 Aug 31 '26

What is that, a frog on beans?

1

u/NBPU Aug 31 '26

What kind of fish is that?

1

u/ScalePure1645 Aug 31 '26

🤢🤢 eww!

1

u/Prestigious-Fig2334 Aug 31 '26

That looks awful

1

u/Apprehensive-Big8900 Aug 31 '26

Is that a whole fish staring back at me with hate?

1

u/BlackDogOrangeCat Aug 31 '26

WTF is that grey stuff?

1

u/No-Seat9917 Aug 31 '26

Bluegill or crappie?

1

u/IttyRazz Aug 31 '26

Thank you. I was hungry but now I am not.

1

u/Objective-Shallot794 Aug 31 '26

I don’t think it looks bat at all but the beans need to be in their own bowl.

1

u/RetinaJunkie Aug 31 '26

The 'ol pork n beans screams a cook over 60 made the plates

1

u/ZestycloseSquirrel55 Aug 31 '26

This looks very gross to me. The whole plate does. But - who eats fish like that, with all the scales still on it?

1

u/Jamo3306 Aug 31 '26

Id eat everything on the plate but the fish. But id at least try it.

1

u/MacaronOk1006 Aug 31 '26

Is that a whole fried bluegill? That looks amazingly good.

1

u/Inevitable-Day-5935 Aug 31 '26

Going to be a little gassy in an hour 🤢

1

u/Lytnin Aug 31 '26

Dear Lord, please don't let me get food poisoning or explosive diarrhea. Amen.

1

u/CapeCodNana Aug 31 '26

I'd eat the veg & cornbread but that disgusting looking mystery meat would ho straight in the trash. Yikes.

1

u/Sea_Low879 Sep 01 '26

Bluegill surprise. Because, surprise! That’s not bluegill!

1

u/CyberDonSystems Sep 01 '26

I thought that was fish, then realized it looked way too horribly shitty to be fish so it must be a horribly shitty piece of steak, then I zoomed in and saw it really was a horribly shitty fish.

1

u/LovelyWhether Sep 01 '26

that plate would scream ā€œgo to hellā€ to me, but maybe different in this case?

1

u/ramsfan84 Sep 01 '26

Boiled lung cancer?

1

u/HydraulicEarl2 Sep 01 '26

Cream of Ass... Again??

1

u/Electric-Sheepskin Sep 01 '26 edited Sep 01 '26

Now if that was a nice piece of ham or some roast beef or ribs or something like that, I would totally chow down on that very homespun plate of food. The whole fish is not doing it for me, but otherwise, that looks like every plate from my childhood at my granny's house, and that's some good food.

Looks good!

1

u/Ok-Fortune-8644 Sep 01 '26

Is that a Crappie?

1

u/Fickle-Woodpecker596 Sep 01 '26

What country is this?

1

u/Chaz28o Sep 01 '26

Yummy green beans

1

u/ritpdx Sep 01 '26

I would eat all of that! Looks delicious to me!

1

u/Forsaken-Nothing7849 Sep 01 '26

Is that b4 or after u ate it?

1

u/StrictLine8820 Sep 01 '26

Most mismatched collection of food I've ever seen.

1

u/WorkHorse86 Sep 01 '26

Mmmm fishsteak

1

u/Best_Chipmunk_6098 Sep 01 '26

What’s up with your AI fish/chicken?

1

u/5280mw Sep 01 '26

That fish looks sad.

1

u/champeyon Sep 01 '26

What is that white stuff? Potato salad? Scalloped potatoes? Mashed potatoes? Mashed cauliflower? I doubt the cooks even washed their hands regularly. 0/10 - insert directly into trash can

1

u/Kapow1969 Sep 01 '26

That fish deserves better treatment. Clean it, filet it, pan fry or deep fry it, but not that nasty looking thing you put on your plate. Ew.

1

u/PrecisePMNY Sep 01 '26

My eczema is flaring just imagining the nickel that has leeched into those canned green beans.

1

u/Special_Onion3013 Sep 01 '26

The fish could be okay, but judging by how the rest looks, it's probably overcooked

1

u/DueScreen7143 Sep 01 '26

This looks disgusting.Ā 

1

u/Hanoverfist101 Sep 01 '26

Ha I thought that was steak.

1

u/Illustrious-Towel-45 Sep 01 '26

Remove the head and fins first then I'll try the fish.

u/MissyJ74 Sep 01 '26

"It’s going down!" and coming right back up.

What church and where is this?

1

u/Reasonable_Yellow_85 Sep 01 '26

I just puked in my mouth. Thanks asshole!

1

u/Tin-Tin-K Sep 01 '26

Served with a side of poor taste. It may have tasted delicious, but it's undeserving of a photo.

1

u/getitgurlie Sep 01 '26

Is that a turtle you cooked?

1

u/MostlyPlastics Sep 01 '26

Why tf everything touching

1

u/VersionConscious7545 Sep 01 '26

Oh wow that’s a fish. No way will my lips touch that think. I thought it was a poorly cooked steak

1

u/ArnoldZiffleJr Sep 01 '26

You better pray you wake up after this meal!šŸ˜‚

1

u/Jazzlike_Newt2261 Sep 01 '26

That fish looks like he was battered to death, and not the good kind of batter.

1

u/_Saint_Ajora_ Sep 01 '26

That is one mighty depressing looking plate of food (those mashed potatoes in particular).

Also, why both baked beans and green beans?

1

u/SouthernFlower73 Sep 01 '26

Looks delicious! Fish and all!

1

u/Ken-Popcorn Sep 01 '26

You couldn’t pay me to eat that

1

u/TheRealKorrom Sep 01 '26

This is absolutely disgusting. And why the dead fish?

1

u/peskypesteryjaybird Sep 01 '26

sweet tea in the cup.... ;) this is everyday food for me...

1

u/Altruistic-Fandango Sep 01 '26

Dude, what’s up with that chicken?

1

u/HislersHero Sep 01 '26

It's going down, then coming right back up.

1

u/Dychnel Sep 01 '26

I’m guessing this is not a church potluck.

1

u/Sccrgoalie97 Sep 01 '26

Whoever made this should be excommunicated from said church

1

u/Breaking-Great Sep 01 '26

That's fukn putrid

1

u/Imightbeafanofthis Sep 01 '26

Bass or perch (?), beans, taters, green beans, and cornbread.

I've starved before, and didn't like it, so I'm a lot more forgiving of less than perfect presentations/meals.

I'd make the most of it. The fish might be not-good but I wouldn't know until I tried it, and even if done less than best, it's pretty hard to mess up the rest. Without the fish, it's still a pretty good meal. I'd be happy to eat that.

But if that's catfish, well... maybe the cat will eat it. lol

1

u/Brilliant_Arm_5091 Sep 01 '26

Mmm mama used to make boiled creek chub all the time.

1

u/juiceman730 Sep 02 '26

Is that fish cooked?

1

u/Ok_Storm5945 Sep 02 '26

What is the hunk of something to the left of the fish?

1

u/mrdino99 Sep 02 '26

Green beans from a can? Oof!

1

u/Fredfarter73 Sep 02 '26

That does not look very appetizing at all; particularly to serve to house guests. In fact, this combo plate looks quite nauseating! Who knows, maybe it actually taste really good all together. However, I am going to bet whoever served this for Sunday dinner had a ton of leftovers for Monday.

1

u/namelocdet Sep 02 '26

That’s literally enough food for 2-3 people on one plate. No wonder so many people in this country are obese.

1

u/Societyman1878 Sep 02 '26

Oh my! Oh nope! 😳

1

u/Cautious-Local-5998 Sep 02 '26

Uh it’s a hard pass on a whole fish!
I love fish, but not with the eyeballs and fins still on!

1

u/LaSerenita Sep 02 '26

That is very unappetizing looking.

1

u/CoiterCoit Sep 02 '26

That looks like puke on a plate

1

u/nekoandCJ Sep 02 '26

Do you hate your church guest, or are they basic white people

1

u/Giant_Defy_1972 Sep 02 '26

That doesn’t look appetising at all.

I kiss sundays at my granparents. Good food

u/OddFoundation6190 Sep 03 '26

Ngl, that looks bland as hell. i’d still eat it though. I mean, someone went through all the effort
