According to Urban Dictionary, a threatening aura is “a place, person or object that makes you feel like you're in danger just by looking at it, sometimes characterized by unsanitary condition.”
But there’s so much more to a threatening aura than meets the eye. Especially when it’s something very close and relevant to us, like things we eat. Food too can have a threatening aura, making us question everything from its contents to serving, edibility to potential danger.
This Instagram page titled “Food With Threatening Auras” is a great place to look at real-life examples of cursed food. Below we wrapped up some of the most weirdly wonderful examples and served them right here. Enjoy! Or maybe not.

Am I the only one who saw a human body? Neck is torso, head is chest, arms are ears that continue into arms
While some foods clearly have threatening auras as we have seen in this post, there exists a whole new world of weird and unusual foods popular among culinary thrill seekers. Edible insects like ants, crickets, and mealworms have been a staple in many far East diets, whether eaten raw, cooked, or added to other dishes.
Now, a growing body of research has found that edible insects have superior health benefits due to their high levels of vitamin B12, iron, zinc, fiber, essential amino acids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants.
For example, this study claims that the addition of edible insects such as crickets to the human diet could offer numerous benefits. For example, the environmental and nutritional benefits include an overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, decreased agricultural use of land and water, improved prevention and management of chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, and enhanced immune function.

didn`t know milk comes in a gaseous form. How do pour that in your coffee?
It's pretty much similar to condensed milk but unsweetened. The taste is lovely, btw.

Organ meats, known as offal, can be seen as a culinary oddity not for faint stomachs, but the fans of it claim it’s nature’s most concentrated source of virtually every important vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and fat.
Healthline reports that organ meats are particularly rich in B-vitamins, such as vitamin B12 and folate. They also have an abundance of minerals, including iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc, and important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K.

Toss in a bowl of good ranch or bleu cheese and I'd kill that whole plate!

yup dumplings/pot stickers. There's a korean brand I've been buying lately, yummy, and easy to make. Brand is Bibigo, green and white packaging in frozen section.

He didn't say anything about disliking the soup itself. Just that he can't understand why the friend called it chicken noodle soup with named ingredients missing.

I have not seen those type of styrofoam packages in many years here! And the more I think of it, I’m getting more and more sure about that’s not used
Load More Replies...So much wrong here. How do you store it? Would just take one puncture of the plastic wrap to contaminate the whole thing. Is someone just very stupid?

Load More Replies...I hated work potlucks when I was a receptionist. The whole dept would bring me their dishes and crockpots for me to deal with until the party. I had one staff member literally put a bag of groceries on my desk at 8am. Just produce for a sandwich bar/picnic themed potluck. I spent all morning washing and cutting produce while my work went ignored. And if you leave your dish of leftovers for me to deal with, your pretty little stoneware dish might find a new home. I finally started calling out sick on potluck days. Don’t do this to your receptionists and assistants people!
What the heck?? Our potlucks had no extended lunch time, so still 30 minutes, everyone had to figure out their own storage and there was only four outlets accessible for to crockpot. Our secretary gets to be part of the upstairs daily luncheons that are paid for by the company and she is really really mean.
Load More Replies...Or that everyone brought something to put into a pot, and you'd end up eating communal soup? When I was little this is what I thought a potluck was because of the Stone Soup story.
Load More Replies...I would return it to him, by hiding this in his car 🚗.. Better yet, in his filing cabinet or desk.
This story is a lot longer than one tweet - the OP said, in multiple tweets - that the coworker is white, of course, uses the communal air fryer to cook the chicken, not washing his hands while preparing it, undercooks it slightly, and one of their other coworkers got sick eating it.

Can't make an omelette til you break a few eggs..... Ooops
Could be one of two things: water boiling too hard, so it agitates the egg white too much, or the eggs were a bit older (I don't mean going off, just not really new and fresh) so the whites have started going a bit runny - this causes the "wispies" when the egg hits the water. Stirring the water only helps if you are cooking a single egg.
There was also string and mouse poop if I remember correctly
He said he sent the pieces out for dna testing to prove they were shrimp but never updated the results after he was slammed with his own controversy/accusations right after the cereal thing (several exes came out saying he was emotionally abusive/manipulative and apparently a few employees/coworkers also accused him of verbal and mental abuse as well. He kind of dropped off the radar for a while after that). People asked him about the results but he ignored them so the whole thing seems pretty fishy...

You'd have to be someone who had never heard of an omelet, never seen an omelette, never ate an omelette, and didn't understand how eggs worked

As someone who has breastfed 3, I can say that yes, there are weird vibes for unknown reasons, but mostly for me it's eww bc human breastmilk is frequently very sweet. Not a good taste for alfredo.
