As much as we might rave about the importance of taste, the fact of the matter is that we’re also very visual creatures—the better a meal or a food product looks, the more likely we are to try it. On the flip side, if something looks unappetizing like it was cooked in an iron pot in the ninth circle of hell by a gastronomic demon, we’re likely to say, “Are you friggin’ kiddin’ me? Do I look like a troll with no standards?”

Oh, and believe me, there’s plenty of horrendous-looking food out there. You’ll find it in restaurants, hospitals, and even supermarkets. You know, places that really ought to know better! And the best part is that there’s a whole Instagram account that’s dedicated exclusively to the bad, the ugly, and the most disgusting food items.

We’ve collected some of the best of the worst food photos for you to enjoy from the IG blog, so go on and upvote the ones that you’d never ever want to see on your table or in your fridge.

I had a friendly chat with the food blog's founder and they said that the inspiration for their Instagram account was a mix of different internet pages. "Before I created this account, I was following many food pages on Instagram as well as subreddits on Reddit. Occasionally, there were posts that really looked disgusting and I thought to myself, 'Why not make a whole page about disgusting-looking food,'" they shared with Bored Panda.
