We've had cats with threatening auras. Bedrooms. Texts. Even toilets. It's about time we moved to the kitchen, don't you think?
There's a Facebook group called 'Food with threatening auras' and its 84,000 members will make you feel like a master chef in no time.
From burnt dinner to stomach-cramp-inducing recipes, the pictures they share perfectly illustrate that cooking is a crazy adventure, and no two people have the exact same understanding of it.
So prepare your taste buds for a wild ride and continue scrolling to check out the images!

This Is An Easy 10/10
We managed to get in touch with one of the group's admins, Liz, and she was kind enough to tell us more about it.
"Surprisingly, we don't have many issues with trolls anymore," she told Bored Panda. "Granted, I know we can't catch everything but the tools Facebook provides to help filter out the trolls (i.e. the questions to join) really seem to help weed them out."
But that wasn't always the case. "I know when the group first blew up, we had to do a lot more policing than we do now. One of our biggest issues then was trying to figure out what posts to let through without it offending different cultures."

Liz highlighted that while something may be threatening to one end of the world, it may not be to the other.
"This ended up sparking a lot of heated debate (to put it nicely) within the comments" but "everything has really seemed to chill out in the past year or so, thankfully."

Ok This One Is Actually Cool
The admin of the group thinks probably the best adjective to describe its members is curious. "How can you not be looking at some of these images? Personally, I find myself wondering how 90% of these foods would taste and whether I'd immediately regret it or not."
But Liz believes her internet family are also great memers. "The comments are always where the true gold is, and these people are [too] funny. Throw in a dash of mental illness and there you have the FWTA community," she explained, laughing.

This Is What It Means To Go To Flavor Town
As you can see from the pics, the content on 'Food with threatening auras' comes in many shapes (mostly crooked ones). But Liz said "the most popular ones are definitely those that have to do with 'bodily autonomy' or look phallic.
"Products with questionable advertisements and descriptions are also ones I see a lot," she added. "My personal favorite are the ones that change food products, like the infamous 'Mayoreo' but we don't see those as often since Facebook started flagging those types of images."

What A Terrible Time To Have Eyes
The admin said this group is the child of quarantine boredom and at first was very local, uniting just a few friends. Now, however, it's international, with people from all over the world. "None of us really had any idea how it started to blow up, and its definitely been an experience learning to handle so many personalities on the same forum."
"It has been a lot to handle at times, but I think every admin can agree that it's awesome to be a part of something that reaches so many people. Even if it is a bunch of cursed food images."

Interestingly, quarantine was a time when quite a few people started taking a closer look at their fridges. In fact, from May 2020 to January 2021, the share of tweets about healthy foods increased by 20 percent compared to pre-pandemic estimates, while fast-food and alcohol tweets decreased by 9 percent and 11 percent, respectively. However, as we now know, some cursed food aficionados remained active too.

They hop twist and jump and go as they please, the jumpers, white jumpers, whom live in old cheese. Some people loathe 'em and others don't care, if you swallow a mouthful the truth I declare...
Any food that threatens to shoot creatures up who will eat my eyes is a hard pass from me. I'm weird that way.
Literally not one living, breathing, sentient human on this planet likes it.
It's not the only Italian cheese with maggots, there's also the casu puntu from Puglia and many more. It's actually considered a delicacy, although it's currently illegal. It's claimed that some maggots might stay alive in the stomach and therefore induce health problems, even though there have never been any proven cases. People have been eating insects from ages all around the world so...to each their own, I guess. It's only a matter of perspective and of what we are used to. For example, I find meat disgusting, I couldn't bear to put it in my mouth, and if you think about it it's basically an animal cadaver but you are used to eat it and you don't mind... 🤷
You know the smell of freshly mown grass? That's the grass dying! You're eating plant carcasses AND enjoying the fragrance of their passing! - I'm all for reducing meat consumption, but I'm also pro not-comparing-meat-with-living-wriggling-maggots...

I've always been curious about this cheese. Has anyone here on BP ever tried this?
Oh my gosh… I remember watching a video about this. Who the heck would eat cheese with maggots in it?!?! That’s disgusting! And it could lead to a bunch of heath problems.
Having trouble understanding... Is it something that people actually do eat, or is this what some Sardinians had to eat during a particularly dire famine?
Or something they served to army coming to them as they will surrender...and when the army saw this monstrosity, they retreated.

I was given this when I was in Sardinia. I think I returned to the mainland swimming, but my memory may be failing. They have many delicious dishes (porcheddu comes to mind) but this is an abomination. I bet they only bring it out to scare tourists.,
It's actually banned, though some insane people get it on black markets. :I
I’m adventurous when it comes to food, but I draw the line at eating things that are still alive in the animal kingdom sense of the word.
My dad is Italian and reckons he tried then when he was a kid back in the homeland, I've always thought he was talking sh!te.
It might take some getting used to, but once you are able to eat maggots your cuisine options are wide open.
Hmmm....

As an Italian, I have only one thing to say: I'll pray for their impious souls.
i am happy to have been a guest in france and italy, where they cook healthy and fresh vegetables, looking tasty. cant scroll these images
What has the world come to....it seems people have morphed into attention hogs and will do most anything for said attention. Nothing is wholesome anymore...if you find it, its likely to be in some remote 3rd world poor country village with some old people and kids feeding goats and making cheese. Americans seem to have lost it all when it comes to values and just plain old shyiet that make good sense. Dam I'm so ashamed to be one.
Life was almost never wholesome, unless you lived under a rock
