40 Slightly Disturbing And Funny Pics Of Food Posted By “Totally Gourmet”
You can easily lose your way in the world of food if you don’t watch where you’re going. As you navigate the Isles of Gordon Ramsay and sail around the Jamie Oliver Peninsula, you’re eventually bound to come across the seemingly-endless Desert (not dessert) of Weird Food. And in the middle stands none other than the city of ‘Totally Gourmet’ (Population: 118,000), its streets filled with bizarre sights that show off the strange and sometimes unsettling side of cooking, cuisine, and nosh.
The ‘Totally Gourmet’ page is run by none other than Sébastien Mathys and Jonas Nyffenegger. If their names sound familiar, then it’s probably because you’ve read Bored Panda’s previous post about their other incredibly popular Instagram page, ‘Ugly Design.’ Now, Sébastien and Jonas are shocking the world once again—but with food! Check out some of the weirdest and most mesmerizing food-related pics from ‘Totally Gourmet’ below and upvote the ones that made your eyes pop and your jaws drop, dear Pandas. Planning to skip lunch after this post (we just might)? Let us know in the comment section below.
Sébastien and Jonas told Bored Panda that 'Totally Gourmet' started as a spin-off of 'Ugly Design. They explained that they're both passionate about cooking and thought that the amazing food pictures that they found online deserved a dedicated page. "We like to experiment in the kitchen and try new flavors whenever given the opportunity. If you are a food artist please share your work with us, we would love to see (taste) what you do!" Read on for the full interview.

When Bored Panda asked Sébastien and Jonas what could be done if readers suddenly lose their appetites when looking at photos from the 'Totally Gourmet' page, the pair weren't surprised at all. "We know what you mean. This occurs to us as well... DM us when this happens. We have tips to help, depending on the picture," they said. So, dear Pandas, if you find yourself put off from eating after this list, send a direct message to the curators of the page and they might just have a solution for you.
Sébastien and Jonas also revealed that they have quite a few food and cooking disaster stories between them in their lives. And they shared the worst one of them.
"Younger Jonas organized a Surströmming party in a public park in Geneva with a few friends and me," Sébastien said. "Surströmming is a Swedish delicacy made of fermented fish. Most of our friends refused to even try and backed away from the smell. Actually, the scent was so strong that everybody in a radius of 50m decided to leave. Even a group of punks. Our tasting was too trash for them." Got any similar stories to share, dear Pandas? Let us know in the comment section!

We’re drawn to weirdness and ugliness. It’s a very human experience to be captivated by something that’s far from aesthetically pleasing. And that’s exactly the primal human fascination with ugliness that the ‘Totally Gourmet’ team manage to capture in the pics that they post.
There’s a lot of similarity between ‘Totally Gourmet’ and ‘Ugly Design,’ namely, the ugliness and the shock value. Sébastien and Jonas earlier spoke to Bored Panda about their other project, ‘Ugly Design,’ and attributed its success to the fact that their content creates a huge contrast to the “norm-perfect” pictures that can usually be found in people’s Instagram feeds.

“When seeing an ugly design rather than perfect aesthetics (as defined in the 21st century)—scrollers takes notice,” Sébastien and Jonas told Bored Panda that the key is to avoid predictability and embracing what’s unexpected.
The curators of ‘Ugly Design’ and ‘Totally Gourmet’ explained that they believe ugliness is a topic that’s bottomless and will always have something to offer in terms of content. So you can expect a lot more extraordinary and strange content from Sébastien and Jonas in the near future, that’s for sure!

Spaghetti, Ocd Version

Please change the title of this. This is not what OCD is. At all. OCD is constant intrusive thoughts and compulsions all day long that you can’t control. OCD is not about being neat, or organized, or a perfectionist. It is constant torture all day. I understand that you did not mean to be offensive but please change the title.

The terms RGB and CMYK refer to the color palette per se. RGB is red, green, blue and CMYK is cyan, magenta, yellow and black. In general, RGB is used for monitors and digital graphics while CMYK is used for printing. So technically you're looking at virtual prosciutto compared to real prosciutto.

There’s Holes In My Cheese
Marlowe Fitzpatrik 5 years ago
I wonder how that came to pass? The wine-glass, the keys, the slightly crumply table-cloth makes it look like someone had a grate idea after a party and stayed way late to carve the left-over cheese-wheel into a shoe. Must have been a cool party.

this reminds me of the "burrito pocket" I used to have in my backpack. A pocket reserved only for the burritos that I would buy from the school store and then share with my friends. They'd sit in there after I bought them until lunchtime.

What do you think ?
Charlotte A. 5 years ago
Some are funny but a lot of these are just a senseless waste of food.
DinaFelice 5 years ago
What on earth makes you assume the food is getting wasted? Other than the few that are clearly accidents, most of these appear to be in a perfectly edible state...and we're probably eaten right after the photo was taken. You can't possibly believe that the kiwi monsters aren't about to be eaten?
