Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.
Right now, here’s the rules:
- Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
- It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
- No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.
How to tag:
To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz
Here are the current tags:
- Edited - The image was manipulated with editing software.
- OC - You made this cursed food yourself!
- Meta - Relating to the community itself.

(BTW, I’m looking for someone to help mod here! I myself would not be enough if this community goes beyond a few posts a day.)

Ok so wtf is a bain marie?
You’d be making the variant known as steamed hams. It’s an Albany expression.
A double boiler, sometimes called a "hot water bath".
Basically a container with what you're cooking inside over the top of a pot of heated water.
It heats things up evenly and gently.
Ok i know what a double boiler is and what theyre for. I've never heard them called that before
People use fancy words when they want something to seem important.
or, and hear me out there, other cultures exist outside North America.
It's what it's known as outside of the USA and the term has existed since about 300AD.
we call this cooking sth "over steam"
It's a lower pot that you boil water in with an upper pot that you put the food in. No water gets near the food, it's meant for applying even, indirect heat
