30 Times Food Ended Up Somewhere It Definitely Didn’t Belong

Of course, on the one hand, over many centuries of the existence of national cuisines and whatnot, certain rules for the use of certain products have developed, and deviations from these rules often look like a real heresy in our eyes. On the other hand, what if we don’t have some necessary ingredient in the cooking process, and there’s no way to get it urgently? And, after all, that's why some rules are made to be broken, isn't it?

Personally, I will probably never forget how about five years ago, at the Istanbul airport, I saw how some random hefty guy, having collected a whole tray of various rolls at a sushi dinery, simply dumped them all into a large bowl, poured plenty of soy sauce on them, and after carefully stirring with a large spoon, started to devour it with an expression of undisguised pleasure on his face. Well, if he likes it better like this, what could be better?

“Our ideas about what is appropriate and what is not in preparing and eating food are based mainly on long-standing traditions,” says Roman Sardarian, a chef from Odessa, Ukraine, with whom Bored Panda got in touch for a comment here. “And all new tastes are formed precisely through experiments - which, at first, seem totally weird to many people. This is a completely natural path of culinary evolution.”

“As for the photographs from this group, they can be divided into three basic categories: absolutely barbaric waste of food, just funny coincidences and finds (like that cat with cheese stickers), and also absolutely ingenious things - for example, a snap-on holster for a burger. And, of course, I also wonder how the beans got inside this Gameboy?", says Roman ironically.

Or maybe we just spend too much time trying to figure out people's motives when they're just enjoying fooling around with food? Who knows? In any case, please feel free to scroll through this selection to the very end, try to enjoy it as well... and let's maybe still try to figure out how all these beans ended up inside a Gameboy?
