Food is something universal. We all have to eat to survive. But beyond that, cooking and baking can be tons of fun, eating is a way to connect with other people, and it’s delightful to try new and exciting flavors. However, innovation and originality are far from easy if you’re in the restaurant business.

Some chefs… well, they go overboard with their ideas. Like, epic fail levels of overboard. That’s where the popular Stupid Food online group comes in. It’s a community of people who gently poke fun at some of the most pretentious, bizarre, and confusing dishes people have stumbled across. We’ve collected some of the finest specimens to show you. Scroll down to go down the rabbit hole of weird gastronomic designs, and be sure to upvote the pics that made you do a double-take, Pandas.

    Used the wrong image of the lot. Each bullion cube from that jar is 910mg (40% daily) of sodium, their mother used the entire jar of cubes, and added even more salt from the shaker to make the gravy. Also salted the rest of the food, and suggested that the leftover gravy be frozen and revived at a later date with even more bullion cubes.
