There are very few things more relatable in life than food and cooking. After all, we all eat! There’s no way to get around that fact. That’s why it’s such a good topic for memes—it already resonates with people on a fundamental level.
Today, we’re featuring some of the most hilarious memes featured on the ‘Famished Club’ Instagram account. They’re witty, some of them hit a bit close to home (cleaning up after cooking, ew), and they’re making us hungrier than we care to admit. Scroll down to check them out, and remember to upvote your faves!
Bored Panda got in touch with the team behind the popular 'Famished' brand, and they were kind enough to answer our questions. Scroll down for our interview with chief executive officer Abhi Chatterjee and chief marketing officer Moses Albo.

I get what you did but condensed milk is different from evaporated milk.
Load More Replies...We were very curious to find out more about the roots of the 'Famished' brand. "The inspiration for Famished comes from growing up in an immigrant family where I watched my parents build a community through food," CEO Chatterjee told Bored Panda via email.
"Now, Famished leverages tech to help small restaurants engage directly with their diners, ditching hefty third-party fees. After all, we feast with our eyes first—Famished is your go-to for culinary inspiration and your next food adventure."
Meanwhile, CMO Albo had this to say about the inspiration behind the meme-focused Instagram account. "We love food and we love memes, the decision was only natural. Memes are the voice of our generation, it’s how we communicate. What better way to merge both than creating a place on Instagram for us to laugh about food."
One of the small benefits is looking different in a conformist society. Awesome
I'm glad that this is settled. Save the best part for last.
I must be a serial killer then, don't do crusts. 😂
Load More Replies...According to Albo, food and cooking memes resonate with so many people because it's such a fundamental part of our lives. "Everybody has got to eat! Who doesn’t like food? Name one person on this planet who doesn’t like food."
Albo told Bored Pand that "only the dankest memes survive," adding that the internet users following 'Famished' are also big fans of 'deep fried' and vegan memes.
Oooh this is evil. But it’s also evil to steal peoples food, so I love it
I just hope it's hot English mustard, not mild American style.
Load More Replies...Like wasabi, if you have too much Colemans mustard in one bute you get that weird nose feeling and your eyes water, the added bonus Colemans isn't expensive like wasabi
Load More Replies...Sorry guys, I would’ve injected laxatives and call it a day. Evil? Yeah I guess, but it’s about sending the message.
Laxatives wouldn't be an immediate result, the person might just think something had upset them but not realise it was the stolen food. However with mustard, they would know straight away. And you could watch.
Load More Replies...honestly, just keep your donuts at your desk, why bother with communial kitchen if you know they'll steal your food?
No, no poisons to eat. No drugging either. Just surprise taste. I would have used spinach.
Load More Replies...It must be. It's too perfect to be actual food XD
Load More Replies...Too bad it is not real. I would have a hard time eating something so cute. Damn AI is taking over everything
Sure seems so. However, this is not The End, nor the Beginning of The End. This is The End of The Beginning.
Load More Replies...Who else read it "cwasson' a saurus"? Man, I love croissants
Enjoying this date so much more now. Good save. Game changer if it's yummy!
Guy from Hinge must've been honored if YOU took the photos. Hope it was delish.
Load More Replies...We were curious to hear what advice the 'Famished' team would give someone who's completely new to cooking and having a hard time. Chatterjee, the CEO, had this to say: "Start with easy dishes to build your confidence. Read the recipe first—it’s like a mini roadmap for your cooking adventure."
In the meantime, if things don't turn out 'perfect,' we really shouldn't worry. "Every meal is a chance to learn something new or an opportunity to make fun of yourself! Learn the basics and remember, cooking is more about having fun and experimenting. So, turn up your favorite songs and enjoy the process," Chatterjee said.
That's me with deviled eggs. Eat 3 eggs at breakfast? Ugh way too much. Yet I can chain swallow 6 deviled eggs no problem.
I like mashed potatoes but I'm not going to eat 10 potatoes worth. Unless they're those tiny baby potatoes.
It's odd how much volume of mashed potatoes will go down the hatch nicely, but three medium whole potatoes are a challenge...
Oh mash is so good as long as its not from a packet or spuds in a tin
I LOVE mashed potatoes! I use not only butter (KerryGold), but sour cream and Half & Half.
Speaking as a Brit, mushy peas are disgusting but they are NOT that colour!
Also speaking as a Brit, I like ‘em, but no they are definitely NOT that color.
Load More Replies...I like fish and chips (if the brown thing in the back is breaded fish?). But why would you want to eat it with peas in the first place, let alone with peas that look more like algal bloom?
Speaking as a Brit - our mushy peas are disgusting but they are NOT that colour!
Yeah, I'm from the UK and that's disgusting. I think it's a northern thing. And those peas look totally unnatural.
Definitely a Northern thing, I was born and raised in Lancs. Those peas look like someone added food colouring though, regular mushy peas are more a khaki green colour.
Load More Replies...I love mushy peas. Those aren't mushy peas, they're some radioactive sludge.
I would be raging if someone gave me that and i thought it was chips and an egg.
I'm raging just looking at the picture! I would definitely serve it for dessert though 😈
Load More Replies...When I was a kid they served us halved tinned apricots on vanilla ice cream that looked like runny poached eggs. I had this torturous moment of horror until someone said what it really was.
I feel your discomfort, tinned apricots are an abomination
Load More Replies...The ‘Famished’ project is quite well known on social media. On Instagram, the company’s account boasts 189k followers. Meanwhile, another 17k internet users follow its page on Facebook. Though the company itself deals with food delivery orders, it uses its social media presence to brighten up everyone’s day with funny memes. And these pics are iconic! You’ve likely seen them pop up on your social media feed at some point.
Luck plays a massive part in any content going viral on the internet. Though experience with content creation can help you notice trends and shifts in popular culture, it’s still impossible to know for sure which pics your audience will resonate with and which ones will get ignored.
With that in mind, the more consistent you are with your posting schedule, the better your chances of slowly building up a following.
When I was a kid, I never took the wrapper off. Just ate the whole thing, paper and all. I was the class clown, trying to hide my insecurities with crazy behavior XD
Load More Replies...I thought this was a tiny chunk of meat at first, and was very grossed out that people were eating the meat diaper "paper".
you know that reminds me of this meme which said gladagascar outtagascar aswell
I doubt it. They can print that on the packaging, but it doesn't mean anything in a way that could be challenged or verified.
Egggg’xactly…They’re raised in a stressful environment so they don’t know it’s stressful sooo, therefore, they’re not stressed but it is stressful and now I’m getting stressed out typing this..
Load More Replies...So stress-free, they sacrificed their life to make room for more chickens to live a wonderful, yet short-lived, stress-free life, too. Selfless ones, they are.
Even great memes can end up being sidelined because your fave social media platform’s algorithm got an update or you simply shared your post while your core audience was asleep or distracted.
However, there are some things that you can do to improve the quality of your memes to up your chances of getting them noticed in the vast expanse of the World Wide Web.
Something that all content creators should focus on is visual clarity and fluency. Memes tend to work best when they’re punchy and compact. So, you want to use high-quality images and easily readable fonts.
On the flip side, if you go for low-quality (‘noisy’) pics and overly complex fonts, your audience might simply skip past your meme because it takes too much effort to understand what’s going on.
I need this. I must properly honor my owners' butts.
Were any of you deeply troubled by the fact that the Aristocats had no b*tthole? I was.
Someone bought me a colouring book which was all cats showing off their buttholes
I will gladly take all of your avocados and wait for them to actually ripen before eating.
Load More Replies...If they're ripened properly, they should have a somewhat creamy texture and NOT taste like grass...
Could they be gene modded avocados? My experience with avocados supports the buttery and nutty flavor, but I stopped eating strawberries some years back when they replaced real strawberries with these huge beautiful things that had absolutely no sweetness or flavor. No sugar or flavor no attracting bugs, no spoilage, but not real food. Gene mod foods should be banned.
Load More Replies...Forget the beer my priority would be that Greggs sausage roll 👀
Similarly, if your memes have walls and walls of text in them, you’re probably going to lose the majority of your audience. Not many people have the time or attention span to read long chunks of text when the main point is for the pic to be lighthearted and comedic.
The shorter the text, the clearer the message—the better. At the core of memes lies the idea of shorthand communication. Longform content is generally antithetical to meme culture.
Just lay it on my a*s and cut out the middle man...cuz that's where it's going anyway
Of all the things I didn't need to know existed in this world. Just. Frig right off.
Oh god, that's too much. I like the idea, but it needs to be thinner.Looks like it's nearly an inch of ice cream.
Well Japanese cheesecake is the absolute bomb so I can't even begin to imagine these pancake pillows!
Those look like both raw AND cooked Pillsbury muffins at the same time
I really do want to try these. Seen them pop up in a couple articles and they look delicious.
I’ve had them and my family literally finished them in under 2 minutes they were so good
In Japan they have the sausage McMuffin but the muffins are replaced with fluffy pancakes
I guess that was before olive oil got so expensive you can only find it in jewelry stores. In Greece, the prices have gone through the roof in the last year!
In Spain too. So much people are already buying other oils. IN SPAIN.
Load More Replies...I use grapeseed oil for high heat cooking. And while deep frying is usually at 350-375F, it’s just a waste of good oil.
Load More Replies...A lot of it depends on the type of olive oil. The best temperature for frying is around 350F, which is at the high end for Extra Virgin but it’s waste of good oil. Regular or light olive oil can go up to 450F.
Load More Replies...Should you really fry in Olive oil? The smoke point is really low - use rapeseed instead.
To all of you talking about high olive oil prices: blame global warming, not Biden. After a poor harvest in 2022, the 2023 season was worse, due to extremely hot, dry temperatures during the growing season, particularly in Southern Spain, but throughout the Mediterranean basin. That was followed by terrible floods in Greece. Both countries are the major producers of olive oil. I bought double what I usually do last year. Oil keeps literally thousands of years, as archeologists have repeatedly found.
Though posting memes is supposed to be all about fun, it’s easy to get burned out if you look at it like a full-time job. It really helps if you enjoy the topic that you focus on in the content. Your audience is also likely to notice that passion. Meanwhile, if you’re only posting things for the likes, views, comments, and engagement, you might struggle to keep it up in the long run.
Plot twist: She feeds the raccoon with cutely arranged food, she just tosses a can opener at the BF and says "make it yourself" :)
Load More Replies...I wonder if she's the sister of the oyher goldfish cracker guy above
Okay, you need to get her a book on racoon care, because this is not healthy for him.
Not healthy? They eat garbage, they eat anything they can get their cute little paws on.
Load More Replies...Raccoons do not sh*t where they find food. So the GF is only keeping it clean ;)
This garbage isn’t helping the c**n. This is stupid on at least three levels
But if there's two racks, each with a pizza, one will have a soggy top, and the other, a soggy bottom. Or maybe my oven just sucks.
Load More Replies...Yeah, but not genius enough not to put pizza directly on the rack ....
Not unreasonable solution to the problem. With two racks, air circulation can get a little iffy, with negative effects on your food.
They have these things called 'fan ovens', with a little fan in them that circulates the air so the oven is the same temperature throughout . . .
Load More Replies...Ikr,, I'm lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, and egg intolerant -
Load More Replies...Food that I know will burn on the exit. Sometimes it really is worth it, imo. Oh Thai food.
Me after eating a entire bag of cashews( I felt like someone stabbed me in the gut & twisted the knife a few times):
If you care about standing out from the crowd online, then you should spend a bit of time researching your competitors. Look at the type of content that the biggest meme social media accounts post.
What formats are the most popular right now? What memes do internet users tend to react the most positively to? In short, try to do things at least as well as your competitors… but embracing innovation and improving on what they do is a great way to carve out a niche for yourself.
Im so glad that the famous egyptian actor Adel Imam is on Bored Panda 🥰
There's gotta be a term for this. I'm always hungriest at night! WHY?
When you get up at night, never wander into the kitchen. I speak from experience.
Good for the soul, because it’s made with soul. So, very aptly named.
Load More Replies...Looks gross 🤢 Edit: To all trolls who said Im gross - enjoy your food, hope will stay with your veins forever 🖤
Most of it looks fine, I'm just not sure what the dark coloured stuff in the first photo is. Is it some sort of dark green vegetable?
Load More Replies...If I'm going to engage in s3x, I need a light meal, hydration during, and a snack after...
Looks like an info-mercial selling some ridiculous thing so you still have a taco when half the filling falls out.
It is. This guy is famous for inventing ridiculous products that no one needs and making fake commercials for them.
Load More Replies...Anthony Sullivan here, with the Taco Replenisher 3000. Never waste your taco fillings again.
oh, it's the guy with the unnecessary inventions! i miss him (and his beautiful eyes 😊) https://unnecessaryinventions.com/
Even though our sense of humor might change over the years and decades (have you tried looking at some memes from the 2010s recently?), some topics will always be in vogue.
Food, work problems, parenting challenges, relationships, money worries, chronic exhaustion, nostalgia, and rewarding ourselves with little snacks—these are all core parts of the human experience. They won’t be going anywhere, even as the world around us changes.
That's a paella dish, so I'm thinking this is a family get-together in Spain (not that I've ever seen anyone desecrate their paella pan like this, lol)
Load More Replies...I just voted myself a part of that family.
Load More Replies...Anyone else impressed that she seems to have used the knife to crack the egg?
I see this, I think of going to grandmothers house in the morning. Grandmother: "I made you some breakfast" 👵
Yep, eww, lol. But that is a meal, not a snack (over the Pond, that is).
Load More Replies...I bought some of the peri salt for home and now I'm putting it on everything except cereal.
Load More Replies...Air fry at home. Faar bettercn crisper then deep frying
Load More Replies...Thrasher’s (if you know, you know. If you haven’t been to Ocean City, Maryland, try them. Be prepared to experience cravings for this culinary masterpiece for the rest of your life!)
Memes will survive as long as there are people who share popular ideas, opinions, and cultural attitudes with one another. But the format of those memes is bound to change time and time again.
So, even if we’re still laughing at food memes 20 years from now, they’re likely to look very different. Who knows, we might all be chuckling at how our fully sentient AI-powered personal chefs refuse to cook anything that’s bad for our health, so we have to hide our cheeky snacks from them!
1) Yes, but 2) probably not that bad, because she's holding the bun closed.
Load More Replies...It holds all the stuff in so when you take a bite it won't come out the back
This is so uncivilised. You cut thin slices until you finish the whole block in one sitting
Exactly, and with a napkin on your lap to catch the non existent crumbs
Load More Replies...Cut off as much as you want, but mouth bacteria on cheese is going to mold pretty soon.
We try not to even put our fingers on cheese that is going back in the fridge. Mold spores and bacteria on your hands get on the surface of the cheese, and that's where the moldy areas start. Who wants to eat food that they put their hands on a week ago?
Load More Replies...But once you take the first bite you are morally obligated to finish the block.
I bought cheese once with the intention of putting it on a pizza it never happened
Both are me and I’ve gotten really good at moving the Pringles and quacking at the same time - initially to amuse a two-year old, but now? Pretty much whenever I eat Pringles.
Was at one of those everything's a dollar stores in the early 1990's and saw a box of Bugles.... The box was printed in Arabic... Almost bought it for the novelty.
"Hate" is a strong word. I don't hate anyone, just dislike some people a lot.
Which of the memes featured in this list did you find to be the most deliciously funny, Pandas? What do you do when faced with a huge pile of dirty dishes after trying out a new recipe? What’s the last dish that you made that you’re genuinely proud of?
We can’t wait to hear what you have to say. Share your thoughts in the comments.
It really does look like it should be there.
Load More Replies...Dip it in resin, then drill a hole in the center and make it into a clock.
Go leave it on the beach and confuse some scientists. Might even be on the news
Looks like tidily arranged poops. I'd break these apart and leave them around the neighbourhood lawns.
Is the crime that they ate the skin or that they ate it like an apple instead of cutting it in half?
Yes, also the fact that they're driving and on their phone
Load More Replies...I don't know how this person came to this conclusion, but they are absolutely right.
Holy c**p! Words put to a thing I didn't realize was happening to me...
YES :( I don't eat them anymore. And I haven't seen him in a while.
Eggs as themselves don't taste good. It's the salt and other add-ons that make them good.
Load More Replies...baked beans make egg taste more eggy, I can never have the two together, beans in a little pot, or a toast bridge
Beware, don't know about the specific product or brand listed but in general there have been lots of issues with modern cookware not being the same quality as older made to survive nuclear war stuff.
My mom used to have a clear pot like this from the mid-80's until it broke around 2002. It was a great pot for making ramen noodles.
Load More Replies...Is this something that filthy rich people put in their showoff kitchens which they never actually use?
I have a quality set of s/steel pots with heat resistant glass lids that I've had for years and use regularly. They're great.
Load More Replies...I wish you luck. Product quality has declined, especially in brand products. My aunt still has a glass cooking set, they're over 40 years and still going strong. I plan to fight my sister for them later.
probably or it might be menudo...looks delicious whatever it is!
Load More Replies...To each their own, I'd happily eat both and lapse into a food coma :) Naps rule!
Load More Replies...Try one of these ... you'll think you've died and gone to NIRVANA! glazed-don...33d151.jpg
I just checked the name on the box (Pandora Burger) and it's situated in Nagoya, Japan. So if any of you ever have the chance to travel to Japan, thank me later.
They almost look like scones. They'd taste good either way, tbf.
Looks like strawberries and some sort of custard?
Load More Replies...Nope. A hamburger bun falls apart after a few bites. Pancakes, with their less than sturdy structure will fall apart with first bite
I briefly thought it was some nice, raw salmon, if we’re all talking about what we thought it was.
It's a weird looking thing but very funny to read what everyone thought it was
Load More Replies...I could do this when I was a teenager. These days, not so much XD
Ostensibly it's 3 servings, but they're probably assuming it's a side dish with that small a portion.
Load More Replies...When I'm boiling pasta I've an awful habit of taking it out of the pot and eating it.
I'm quite the picky eater, but I bet I can win when it comes to a Kraft Mac and Cheese contest. Never get full! It's just too good.
I usually cook two boxes when making it for my So and myself...a box each. 😯
I do about a cup and I'm already asleep with my cat on the floor
Yeah if you eat this every day. Once in a while it's okay I guess.
Load More Replies...Also missing mustard. Eta: oops, i see below its chorizo. I thought it was kielbasa.
Load More Replies...Full bbq'd sausauge diagonally across the bread with some tomato sauce and maybe some bbq'd onion, and you've got Australia's Democracy Sausage.
The poor person's hot dog. (No hate intended. I was a poor kid too.)
I still like them this way as well. Lightly toasted sourdough for me. Hot mustard, sauerkraut, some diced onion. Skip the hot dog bun.
Load More Replies...This looks like a linguica sandwich with mustard like it should be. Lol, I personally prefer the brown spicy mustard but regular yellow works too. So good, I just might have to get my àss to the store. 🤤
This looks so familiar. Sure it was in South Africa. And yes, our currency is devalued all the way to h*ll.
Load More Replies...It's probably freshly made using peanuts and nothing else (as it should be), unlike the stuff in the jar that is full iof sugar and other chemicals
My store has a machine that fresh grinds it. The give the plastic tub they use for potato salad.
Load More Replies...I never want to hear the phrase "slab of peanut butter" again please and thank you /lh
Load More Replies...Reverse search found an article debunking the claim this is in Canada, Apparently, it's a pic from Trinidad & Tobago taken in 2015
I hope their currency is really devalued because 12.25 sounds extortionate
Load More Replies...That's what I have to know. Seen this pic a few times and there's never an explanation why they're doing it.
Load More Replies...Good. I am so over trying to get it out of jars and then trying to clean them out for recycling.
Same here. Put the pb in a jar. Get that plastic tray and wrap outta here!
Load More Replies...Yes, it's disturbing, but why are there skewers in it?? Were the Lilliputians hurling spears at it to try and kill it??
Reminds me of the recipes from old magazines and cookbooks. Look jello meal recipes form....60s I think it was? It's a gas!
Aspic: Savoury clear jelly prepared from a liquid stock made by simmering the bones of beef, veal, chicken, or fish. The aspic congeals when refrigerated by virtue of the natural gelatin that dissolves into the stock from the tendons; commercial sheet or powdered gelatin is sometimes added to ensure a stiff set.
Load More Replies...That's good to hear. I did know a Polish woman who made pickle soup. I didn't care for it.
Load More Replies...These were common in the '50's and '60's. Gelatin was the biggest thing since sliced bread. Is it any wonder that the Boomers ran off and became hippies?
Load More Replies...Yep, every single set of these found anywhere will have a set of bite marks in them.
Reminds me when child gives me toy phone you must pretend... download-3...d2ce2.jpeg
One week my class at the daycare were using real fruit in the kitchen area. I was sitting with a group, helping them with their letters, when Nick showed me the kiwi he'd accidentally broken open with the toy knife. I said not to worry, that he could glue it back together. I helped another child or two, and looked up to check on everyone. Nick was at the kitchen area, trying to glue the kiwi back together with Elmer's glue! I felt so bad! I told his mom when she came to pick him up, and said he was a better listener than I thought.
I used to bite on the oranges and feel the satisfaction of the air rushing out of them... They also had a very distinct taste that could be found nowhere else.
Urh I get. triggers: chilli, coffee, tomatoes, sparkling wine. Lucky I've got tablets or I'd hang myself because I love all those things.
Load More Replies...It doesn't do your booty any favors! A friend of mine used to say "it's like $hitting little torches", and he was right.
Load More Replies...I made my own pickled serrano peppers; I love them, my stomach not so much.
Load More Replies...same, I just had a handful of jalepenos, why, because they were there!!
I could explain it to you, I have a feeling that it will go in one ear and out the other side.
Possibly, or that's just their sense of humor. My husband would do think to get a laugh out of me. But absolutely it could be weaponized incompetence!
Load More Replies...Fail. He wasn't asked to put it in a pan. He should have put it on the cooktop itself
I feel like it's gotta be. Why would you start the pasta before you started the sauce? It takes next to no time to cook spaghetti.
Load More Replies...I have that pan. It is stainless steel with laser etching instead of a nonstick coating. I love it.
I really worry about some people. When you're asked to put something on the stove you put it ON the stove not in a pan. Distressing really
Mmm diced cilantro. Now gimme my carrots and jalapeños with the green sauce
the best spots have the best carrots also, you cannot skimp on the carrots
Load More Replies...Street taco art! Mexican street tacos are made with small corn tortillas, some meat like carne asada or chicken, chopped onions and cilantro with a squeeze of lime and dash of salt. Top with your favorite salsa. OP took it to another level...now, I'm hungry, off to get some tacos!
Load More Replies...The only justification for this. And you have to invite as many people over as possible to actually consume everything.
Load More Replies...Hello, I’d like a medium iced chai tea latte with a warm cream cheese danish…😴 (this is my to go order btw)
I too crave a peaceful nights sleep without the horrible nightmares that make my life a living hell.
Dewy, glistening produce looks more visually appealing to consumers. Some vegetables sold by weight, like broccoli, will suck up that extra moisture, increasing their weight by up to 5%.
I once went to a fancy grocery store that did this, but the mist cycle was sync’d with LED lighting that flickered along with piped in thunder sound effects. Stupid and annoying.
Also suck to have to grab cold wet produce and get it into a bag
Load More Replies...The good news is: Soon you'll be able to eat the whole thing! By yourself....
Only a monster would do that to a sandwich.
Load More Replies...You are not a good boyfriend. You just want her to pass on it so you can eat the rest.
Ever look in your fridge and theres nothing good in there so you lower your snackspectations and eat like a slice of cheese and a single grape
Yep. Or when you slice up the strawberries thinking it's going to last all week and then 15 minutes later there's no berries left.
Load More Replies...Some of these are funny, but these are POSTS, not memes. Please learn the difference, BP!
