One of my absolute favorite things is having a picnic with my friends. Setting up camp on a blanket in a park on a warm, sunny day and sharing delicious treats we’ve prepared at home feels like the perfect way to bond with loved ones. Well, it did feel like that. But now I’m starting to have trust issues because I’ve just taken a trip to the This Is Why I Don’t Do Potlucks Facebook Group, and I’ve completely lost my appetite. 

Below, you'll find some of the most unsettling and disgusting food photos that might make you swear off picnics and potlucks, as well as an interview with the group's creator Sarah Slabodnik. From questionable cooking methods to dishes that look like one-way tickets to salmonella city, this list has it all. If you don’t want the experience of sharing food with your pals to be ruined, I would run now, pandas. But if your stomach can handle these horrifying pics, be sure to upvote the ones that have convinced you to eat before going to your next potluck!

    Funny anecdote: when I was a kid (12? 13?) I went to a friend's sleepover birthday party. I was the only girl there (this was the 90s, and I was "one of the boys", zero interest in em other than as friends). The whole group of us stayed up late, way past when the friend's parents went to bed. One group of kids were playing Magic: The Gathering in a side room. Another group was playing hide and seek in the dark. My best friend and I decided to explore our friend's house. We snuck into the garage. There were jars of homemade pickles brining next to the water heater. We were baffled. We'd never seen homemade pickles... and in a garage?! We dared a third friend to open one of the jars and try a "pickle". Turns out, they were VERY early on in the pickling process and still mostly cucumbers at that point XD Third friend put the bitten cucumber BACK INTO THE JAR. We never told anyone XD I wonder what my friend's parents thought when they went to open their pickles months later and saw one with a bite taken out...
