The meme, a unit of cultural information spread by imitation (from the Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”), was first introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. Today, memes make up a quintessential part of our online presence as they serve as an expression of people’s opinions and emotions. Quite like collages, new meanings get attributed to them in a funny and relatable manner.
Some memes show what’s really buzzing right now: think of 2020 memes, Squid Game memes, and Mike Pence’s fly on the head memes. Other kinds of memes refer to the things that are timeless and never cease to entertain us. Like parents, dogs and mouth-watering food.
So below we cooked you up a sizzling collection of hilarious food memes to nourish our hungry souls and remind us that whatever happens, we have one thing left to us all. The transcendental joy of eating (and laughing our hearts out, too)!
Psst! For those still hungry for an extra portion of food memes, be sure to check out our previous post right here.

Tip. A teaspoon of Olive oil in the cooking pan makes it much easier to scrape into the garbage after cooking.
If you think of the memes as this whimsical online lingo to communicate the momentum of our everyday lives, it shouldn’t surprise you that food has a special place in memes. After all, it’s something universally relatable, which makes it a quintessential aspect of our lives.
But food has become exceptionally important in 2020, the year of the worldwide pandemic which turned the things we took for granted upside down. Before it, we never thought twice of leisurely indulgences, like dining with friends, dressing up for a restaurant, eating with a date, grabbing takeaway on a late night out, having family barbeque and so on.
Once an everyday occasion, it became a symbol of a liberating experience, of a “normal” world reminiscent of the days prior to the pandemic.

According to snopes this is not true. It is from a satire website https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/413-chicken-nuggets-eaten/
No wonder that as soon as the restrictions were lifted and people were finally able to return to normal, most of us went straight to the restaurants. The feeling of ordering food at the table was something we all were craving for all this miserable year.
Meanwhile, a recent study has shown that during the time of quarantining and social distancing, Americans have chosen to eat like kids again. No matter gender, age or location, feel-good, nostalgic food has made perhaps the biggest comeback of all time.

It's okay. Your body will tell you "STOP EATING THE MAC AND CHEESE! Here's heartburn and diarrhea and a queasy stomach for days" when it's actually time for you to stop eating the mac and cheese. Until you get there, enjoy it.
The comeback of comfort food came with an uptick in such favorites as pizza (55%), hamburgers (48%), ice cream (46%), French fries (45%), mac and cheese (38%), spaghetti and meatballs (32%) and others. The survey also showed that 41% reach for comfort food to bring happiness. Moreover, 90% of respondents said that their online and social searches for food inspiration have increased during the pandemic.
Hence the recent surge in food-related memes. From baking fails to hilarious DIY restaurant editions, from sharing funny restaurant reviews and their snapback responses to tweeting funny nutrition-related one-liners, people found joy in uniting over food.

There's some really delicious vegan food, and I know, generally, eating vegan is better for the planet. I can't commit myself to full veganism, but I appreciate people who do.
A.M. Pierre 4 years ago
I literally can't go vegan - I've tried, but I have health issues that interfere with nutrient absorption so easy-to-absorb meat is necessary or I start getting sick. Even after I give that explanation, I've still had some vegans try to shame me (emphasis on 'some' - others are perfectly reasonable and lovely).

This won't be a popular observation, but... I was eating a plant-based diet for a while (I plan to get back to it), and even though there are plenty of self-righteous vegans out there, I would say the group of people who would police my diet the most were non-vegans, by far. Everything I put into my mouth was scrutinized to determine if it were "really vegan." Super annoying.

Yes, very much yes! I have been vegan for quite some time now (and vegetarian several years before) and while I do not tell anybody what to eat and what not (this is a decision everybody must make for themselves) omnivores are always very interested in what I have on my plate! Not that it is any of their business, though... My favourite comment so far (apart from the 200,000 times I was told that salad has feelings, too) was "Your bread is not vegan - do you know how many bambies are shredded each year by harvesters? Of course there is meat in the flour!" All right, I will stick to eating stones then. And shadows...

Nobody actually hates veganism, they hate the people who are smug about practicing it. They're talking about cloning meat so animals don't suffer. But just watch: if it's ever perfected, someone's going to get arrested for cloning human flesh for snacking, be it his own, a relative's, or whoever. It will blow up into another stupid cult.
CrunChewy McSandybutt 4 years ago
This whole thing took a turn somewhere. people hate smug vegans, but beware of the cloned human meat? I'm failing to see the correlation.

What's scary...is that Cannibalism is completely legal (in the US).
CrunChewy McSandybutt 4 years ago
That's only sort of true. There are no laws specifically against cannibalism, per se, but there are plenty of laws on the federal and state level that make cannibalism impossible without committing a felony.

100% sure everyone missed the joke on this one. Great for you all that you're trying variations of meatless lifestyles, but the joke falls flat if you make it about activism
CrunChewy McSandybutt 4 years ago
I can't tell if you are one of those self-righteous vegans that we all hate, or if you are some troll just trying to stir the pot. I'm guessing the latter, but both could be true.

There is the problem: Diet Coke reduces the blood sugar level and triggers the hunger feeling to bring it up again. It tricks the body in thinking it's a lot of sugar and therefor the body releases insulin, but as there are only artificial sweeteners there's no additional sugar to be processed

These shows will show the host yelling "1 minute!" and then proceed to show clips of the cooks which are obviously from several minutes earlier. It's completely trashy.

I get bugged when people assume all of a culture's food is spicy without tasting it. I worked at a concession stand that sells mango lassi in the U.S. I can't tell you how many white Americans made comments about avoiding the drink because they don't like spicy flavors. It's literally a yogurt drink with mango. It's not spicy. Try it.

I'm very pleased with the fact that the diplayed pizza's do indeed have a 18:12 or 3:2 ratio. Yes, I checked, and no I do not have too much time on my hands. I procrastinate my important tasks. There, happy now? pizzas-616...43d6e4.jpg

Smart and accurate. I usually start collecting everyone's empty plates so they're more distracted by that than the fact I definitely didn't eat that marshmallow salad. (Yep, it's a real thing. If you're unfamiliar, google it. They were popular in the '50s and a recipe my family passed down. Some things should have been left for dead.)

Give yourself a break. Portion control is ideal. But if you're eating what your body craves, so what? Ease up on yourself. Just make sure to get some veggies in there too.

My Dad liked his toast similar to the middle child's, just a little lighter. He always told us that toast like that would "put hair on your chest".

There are some funny entries but I will never understand the passive-aggressive jokes that try to relativize eating tons of junk food and simply not caring about what might make you feal good for a longer time than the actual time you eat it. Just try to be comfortable with what you eat, yet try to be conscious at the same time. I think the most important thing about food is balance...(*wanders off to find chocolade*).

We need to criticize the junk food industry (not the people) and keep bringing awareness. This food is made to be addictive. And yes these jokes perpetuate the idea that it's great to like this type of food. The industry is thrilled! I worry about kids that see this (like mine) when I try so heard to teach them the importance of healthy eating, because I do want them to have a long healthy life.
