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.

You forgot the awesomeness that is scalloped potatoes. Especially if some grate Parmesan happens to fall between the assembled layers
When I was a poor student, I once ate nothing but potatoes and margarine for a month. Boiled potatoes, fried potatoes, baked potatoes, etc. etc. etc.. They were GOOD. I didn’t even mind.
margarine?? Ohhhh that's savage. No one should be forced to eat that.

Maleluca, or paperback tree, Aussie native, commonly called snow in summer...google it for when it's in bloom, broccoli becomes cauliflower
Every time I see a paperbark tree now, I think of this meme and I'm still amazed thinking there are people who didn't grow up with them, where we think of them as giant broccoli since birth. When they are in bloom, like currently, they also can look like cauliflower.
I'm always amused by this, because I like both brands equally/don't mind having one over the other. When I ask for a Diet Coke in a restaurant, the waiter always sounds so apologetic when they say "I'm sorry, is Diet Pepsi okay?" as if they're expecting me to go nuclear over the restaurant not serving Coca-Cola. Maybe people HAVE gone nuclear over that in the past. I can't fathom it. Both taste fine to me, and both are inferior to my lifelong favorite brand, RC Cola XD
Load More Replies...I was working behind the bar, and a bloke asked for a rum and Coke. I said, Is Pepsi ok? He said yeah, fine. So he got a Pepsi and Coke 🤷🏼♀️
in Turkiye they just say "we dont have coke". if they have pepsi but they rather not mention if not specifically asked.
And yet in blind taste tests across the world, people prefer Pepsi to Coke nearly 2 to 1. That's the power of branding. Terrifying, isn't it?
If you're talking about the blind taste test they did with the pepsi challenge... please be aware that as soon as they realized that people were choosing coke three times as often, they started putting pepsi in both cups and pretending that it was still two different sodas 🤣🤣🤣

Way to miss the point. I drink instant coffee and make candles from the leftover jars
Load More Replies...The Bon Mamam jars are definitely smaller than the big jars on the right.
Okay. 1 UK pound = 450 grams (btw, 1 pound in Germany, the Netherlands or any other European country is 500 grams). The Bonne Maman jars depicted are 370 grams = 270ml. Assuming that the 1lb is referring to volume and not weight, the empty jam jars are double the size than the BM jars. Plus BM is on sale. On top is re-using jars a gamble.
I have yet to see anybody use lbs to measure volume.
Load More Replies...And just wait until you figure out they sell even cheaper stuff in jars in different shops...

Load More Replies...I would respectfully disagree. Jaffle irons actually seal in the contents of the sandwiches, whereas toastie machines/presses just... squish and warm everything. I'll see if I can find pictures to differentiate the two.

Load More Replies...My wife and I were wondering what a "toastie" was when a previous post mentioned a "toastie machine ". Sounds more nurturing than " grilled cheese".
Not to mention that the one on the right also looks like it's been stuffed with fresh compost.
As I am writing this, the "Anybody's else household forget they have a toastie machine..." one was right above. Asked myself "What is a toastie?" then was shown this. Perfect.
Exactly. HUGE difference between a toastie and a toasted sandwich.
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've found, much like iocane powder, that it's possible to build up an immunity to cheese-induced pebbledash.
Load More Replies...I tell myself cheese isn't that important to me, but if you give me a burger without cheddar, i will strait up slap you with that patty.
I mean, is there ever a situation where you're not given the opportunity so state you want a cheeseburger? The only scenario I can think of is a barbecue, and in that case maybe money is tight and cheddar couldn't be procured. It'd be a bit hurtful to waste the burger in that way. That's why, if anyone gives me a burger without cheddar, I'd darn well eat the burger (food waste is not ok), but I would absolutely slap a random 5 year old.

Load More Replies...The standard garbage you buy that's called "American Cheese" isn't cheese. It's pasteurized grossness. I would encourage anyone to get some good cheese from a Wisconsin Dairy, or any small dairy really. America makes some of the best and some of the worst cheese money can buy. Same with beer... music.... oh, I guess everything.
I actually like both the good stuff AND the bad stuff, apparently. I love Kraft Singles (the "it's technically not cheese" stuff in the plastic squares) and I love Velveeta. I also really love goat cheeses and sheep cheeses, and I'm quite partial to extra-sharp Vermont white cheddar.
Load More Replies...Please don't think I'm being horrible, but most American cheese is terrible. Even on an expensive charcuterie board. Just cubes of orange cheddar
Do you mean cheese made in America or the product "American Cheese"? If you're referring to the former, you are very wrong. All we have is cheddar? Okay... No...
Load More Replies...Yes. All my friends and acquaintance know I adore cheese ... Also I don't consider the American slices in foil cheese but I do consider it abomination and an insult to cheese. Unsolicited but I like: BG Kashkaval (кашкавал), white feta style cheese, goat cheese, sheep cheese, Le gruyere, Tete de moin (I'd kîll for some right now), mozzarella, Spanish ibérico and manchego, Rahm camembert, brie, stilton, parmagiano, grana padano... I'm salivating. Also Gouda and Emmental, Cheddar are boring (I like them in combo with something but on their own..meh)
If it's being sold in foil, it's not American cheese. The individual slices you can buy in the UK aren't American cheese, either. (I'm not defending American cheese, but at least know what you're insulting 😉)

Hawaiian pizza is great - pineapple and ham are a great combination.
Load More Replies...Tomatoes may be fruit, botanically speaking, but they *identify* as vegetables, dammit!
And if pineapple chooses to identify as pizza topping, who are we to judge?
Load More Replies...Combining sweet with salty and savory has become the rage these days. We the people of the pineapple on pizza for 50+ years welcome you to the light.
In botany, there's no such thing as a vegetable. It's a culinary term.
It said fruit. Fruit is defined as "the ripened ovary of a flowering plant, containing one or more seeds". And yes, by that definition poppy heads are fruits. But, then, tomatoes aren't just fruits, they're also berries. 😂
Load More Replies...Pineapple is a great companion to green peppers or jalapeños on pizza. Green peppers and jalapeños tend to get a little bitter when cooked, and the sweetness of the pineapple counters that, allowing the flavor to come through. I can’t do pineapple if the sauce is sweet, though. Together they overwhelm the spicy parts.
It also balances out the spiciness of sausage and saltiness of olives.
Load More Replies...Tomatoes are berries, technically. Strawberry however is a nut (many, actually). Makes completely sense

Eat fries first. Much greater surface area therefore greater heat loss, and since the late 90s they've been cooked in something that is absolutely disgusting when cold. Cold fast food fries are suitable only for the bin.

The terroir in Idaho is perfect for growing Russet potatoes. Russets are the most familiar — brown skins, fluffy interior when baked. Good for mash, baked, fried, pretty much everything. Idaho, in the north, mid-central part of the US is known for growing Russets. It’s rich, volcanic soil is a key factor. Russets can be grown elsewhere, but “Idaho Potato” is a registered brand. I live in California, and I’ll take any potato from Idaho, branded or not.

Oh, like it's going to make it into your stomach in pristine condition. I'll bet you think it's horrendous to break your spaghetti in half before putting it in the boiling water.
It's not necessary to break spaghetti. With both hands, hold the bundle of dry spaghetti vertically over the pot of salted boiling water. Gently twist one hand clockwise and the other counterclockwise. Drop bundle vertically into the pot. It splays out and with a minute or so, it's all submerged. This also prevents it from sticking together.

I don’t belive we used to warm up the whole oven before we had the air fryer. It seems such a waste now. Food is done faster than the oven even preheats.

Load More Replies...This is why I always reject substitutions. M*rris*ns, for example, choose replacements that are much higher prices than the goods that they have ran out of, and some, as said above, don't even correlate.
I once ordered Tesco Christmas Crackers (the kind you pull) and they substituted Jacobs Crackers (biscuits for cheese), sigh
Chuck them in the microwave for 20 seconds and serve with ice cream or yoghurt and they'll be like fresh.

Food manufacturers simply reduce the entire size. #shrinkflation is evil and the epitome of Capitalism. 👿

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie... I thought you were going to mention the rust of the can, but you definitely went in another direction
Load More Replies...OK, I never want to hear a Brit trash talk food in the US ever again.
We're aren't taking culinary advice from the country that invented cheese in a can, jello salad and introduced obesity to the world.

I remember my mum making homemade chips, eggs, fat sausages and beans for tea a couple of times a week, between m&v meals (60s/70s). Delicious. My younger grandkids like the meal shown above - especially the 👆 Bernard Matthews turkey dinosaurs & Unicorns.
I did these stats with Smarties and m&Ms when I was 9-10 and I am so pleased to see that other people are invested in getting us important data about sweets
Then you have to eat the ones that have more until they all have the same count.
Load More Replies...I have an old tin of this brand, bought many years ago, pre-plastic change, and it is more than twice the size of these above. The UK charge sugar tax (I have no issue with that) and also reduces the weight/size (fair enough) - BUT then put the price up. Paying more for less. Thieving Retailers are making a ton of profit, and everyday peeps are suffering financially while being robbed.
A colleague of mine had started going to gym for body building and God knows who suggested him this but he bought peanut butter and tomato sandwiches. He insisted I take a bite. I couldn't help but spit it out. Thankfully he also agreed that it was a stupid combination
Yes to the banana sandwich (2nd to crisp sarnies), but what the Fleck is that combo? 👀 Maybe after a nightclub binge (or a pregnancy need)? Haha.
Yes! I remember these. By liking them, you were declaring yourself a radical, as they were neither white chocolate nor dark, neither fudge nor caramel. Caramacs were their own thing and their fans were legend....
Load More Replies...Best thing about having a kid and an airfryer is that I always have nuggs in the freezer I can bang in the airfryer any time I want them...
I saw a short documentary on how they make the chicken part of chicken nuggets. Do not watch if you ever want to eat a chicken nugget again!
Unless the child was being particularly rowdy and noisy,, giving you a headache, that's just very mean.
Maybe they had gone in specifically to buy 4 donuts, in which case they are not obligated to give them up just because the person behind them happens to be a child
Load More Replies...I'm deaf, I wouldn't have heard the child's request and would have still requested 4 doughnuts if I wanted them. Does this make me mean?
I'm deaf and wouldn't have heard it, so does this make me a bad person for taking the 4 doughnuts? Surely we can't be held accountable for what others want to purchase?
I actually love the ends! One of my favorite sandwiches is tuna salad (heavy with pickles!) between two wheat bread ends; my family thought I was crazy but also appreciated that I liked the ends lol
My great-uncle (my mom's uncle) would've loved this. The heel was his favorite!
some people I know most have all. the crusts off bread when want them too
Are those Thin Richmond's sausages or hotdogs? If the former, then thumbs up, as long as Manic Mama's question is answered with an "It's in another tub nearby". :D
Toasted Onion Bagel with butter and extra sharp cheddar cheese. Sometimes I add a big sausage patty for a 'Sausage McBagel'.
I'm quite fond of egg bagels myself, with cream cheese, but it's difficult to find a place that sells egg bagels any more :(
Load More Replies...OMG. Bagels. 😭 I was born & raised in Canada but now live in Australia. It is my true home & I adore everything about my adopted country...except the fact that you simply cannot get a decent bagel! They have lovely, soft, circular bread rolls that are misnamed as bagels, but not the real thing. A couple of times I have found an ok bagel, only for the shop to go out of business. Apparently Aussies just don't get a good chewy bagel. At least in Queensland. I especially miss the Montreal style, but any good, boiled bagel will do! Sigh.
I had the same problem in the SF Bay Area. Their bagels have the consistency of shoe leather, except for my local Safeway, that made bagels that would make a New Yorker drool.
Load More Replies...I spent a year in the USA. I have to agree. Before I discovered the world of bagels (actual, solid bread!), I used to go to one of those megasupermarkets, stood at the beginning of a 4 mile bread shelf, and would start hitting the bread with my fist. The loaf that sank in the least was the one that I bought.
Oh yes. Toasted high protean bagel with fresh hot coffee. My happy place
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!
