Food should be an entire love language on its own. It's the universal thread that holds us all together and keeps us alive.
We share food with our families, we meet first dates over a meal, we serve canapés and three courses at our weddings, and we eat our pain away after a heartbreak.
Food has the power to dictate our mood, our plans, our finances, and at times, our entire personality. There's comfort eating, celebratory eating, stress eating, boredom eating, eating because we're hungry, and then eating just because food is there.
Food has the ability to humble us. One minute we're confidently following a complicated recipe, the next, we've thrown in the towel and settled for a grilled cheese sandwich instead. Food, glorious food. It can also be the source of comedy gold... in the form of bite-sized hilarious memes.
Many can be found in a corner of the internet called Planet Food. The Facebook page is where more than 1.7 million members gather, hungry for their daily dose of food-related humor. Bored Panda has put together some of their best posts for you to scroll through while you ponder what to cook for dinner tonight. Don't forget to upvote your favorites.

Cast your bread upon the waters, and it shall be returned to you a hundredfold.
Looks like a Pizza Petri Dish. "Deep Dish?" "No, Petri Dish!"
I bet anxiety just looking at it. When chefs use them in cooking programmes I have to look away. This is true horror movie stuff.
the adult thing to do is purchase and USE the one size fits all wire mesh safety glove.
Dear Mr Auntriarch bought me the chain mail glove, and I don't even take the mandolin out of the cupboard without donning the glove first, because these things are out to get me
Load More Replies...My mom had a box grater when I was a kid. I've sacrificed many knuckles to the grater gods in my day.
But I bet you developed quite a repertoire of four letter words to describe the experience! 😊
Load More Replies...I have a similar relationship with bread knives, also called the sword of stitches.
I love 'sword of stitches'! I have a bread knife I call the m*rder knife, and nobody is allowed to take it off the rack if I'm within 5 feet. I don't even thing I've ever been cut by it, but it has that look about it.
Load More Replies...I came very close to slicing a chunk of my thumb off. The blade went in on an angle and split my thumbnail down the middle. I'm just now (after over a year) getting feeling back in the skin on the left side of my nail.
Load More Replies...I have that mandolin grater. And that Ikea utensil holder. And that cutting board. But this ain't me
You need a better lock on your door, because someone is sneaking into your house to take pictures with your kitchen stuff.
Load More Replies...Ah but u see , you can get something you use on top of the food your cutting lol, I ve got one for mine , it’s circular with 4 prongs that hold the food and away you go , no sliced fingers n hands etc ,
I can't even get to the blood sacrifice, my hands hurt from holding the veg to use it after about 2 minutes!
This is why I don't make myself that kind of food. I'm dyspraxic and a bit of a klutz, so there's no way my delicate fleshy appendages would come out unscathed. Using that doodah to peel carrots and potatoes is dangerous enough. This thing? Nope. Just nope.
When i was a kid my Babcia would make 40 gallons of kapusta every october, we had a huge wooden one of these. whole heads of cabbage shredded, layered with kosher salt, barrel for a month, then packed into jars into the cold cellar for the winter. One October, I took off the top of my middle finger into the shredded cabbage it went. We never found it.
i chopped the top of my finger off with one of those, i just bought it. The safety thingy wasnt really working so i thought "ILL JUST BE CAREFULL" it didnt even hurt, it was just so f*****g disgusting.
I have never cut myself on a mandolin before, and I have used them hundreds of times. Vegetable peelers though, those are the ones you need to watch out for
Yep, I lost a slice off my pointer finger to one of those infernal machines. ALWAYS use the food grabber!
I'm not allowed to use ours. I'm very accident prone. I would end up cutting my hands uo! Lol
did they not get the cutter handle too? ours has a holder for veg to save skinning yersel
My mandolin is exactly like this. It did come with a holder but I found it hard to use because stuff kept slipping and falling off. I use a kevlar glove instead. Problem solved. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this in the comments yet. I thought it was common knowledge.
Load More Replies...Yes, I have paid tribute with many a drop of blood and a few slivers of skin.
It's fine if you use the guard instead of trying to look cool and daring.
I cook alone, and using the guard súcks. Yes I have hurt myself badly.
Load More Replies...As I am getting older I am finding that cheese is having dramatic consequences on my rear end. I am giving to down my cheese intake by a considerable amount. Either that or pebbledash my toilet an hour later.
I bet that cleared your sinuses. I like English mustard, but it is a bit like having your nostrils napalmed.
And our local Aldi's carries these, even in the States! Aldi's has become my go-to convenient source of decent European chocolate instead of the Hershey's, Nestle's, or Mars muck.
The ice cream at the sides would taste of cardboard though.
If all you did was wave the tea bag at that cup you would have a stronger cup of tea.
He discovered his error when he realized how much better this one tasted.
OK, so there's the bed of leftover chunks of wood for the smoker. Where's the steak?
Cadbury chocolate is gone to shìte these days, it is not real chocolate anymore, sadly
I used to be a cake decorator in a grocery store, and when people would ask me how much a 1/4 sheet cake (9" x 13", or ~23 x 33 cm) served I always told them, "I'm supposed to say 20-25 people, but realistically it's closer to 12-15."
Because you bunged three pounds of cheese on that 'toastie', my friend....
OK, I never want to hear a Brit trash talk food in the US ever again.
This perfectly captures how deeply food is woven into our emotions and everyday lives. From comfort meals to celebration feasts, food really does speak a language everyone understands. The humor angle makes it even more relatable—sometimes laughing about food is just as satisfying as eating it. Loved reading this, especially the reminder that food connects us all in the most human way.
This recipe sounds incredibly flavorful and well balanced. The combination of sautéed mushrooms, sausage, veggies, spinach, and cheese makes the stuffing rich without feeling heavy. I really like the step-by-step process—it’s clear and easy to follow, especially the tip about draining the mushroom juices. Perfect as an appetizer or party dish. Great recipe!
