Welcome to a little slice of culinary heaven where we share photos of our favorite dishes, from savory succulent sausages to delicious and delectable desserts. Made it yourself? We'd love to hear your recipe!

Rules:

1. BE KIND

Food should bring people together, not tear them apart. Think of the human on the other side of the screen, and don't troll, harass, engage in bigotry, or otherwise make others uncomfortable with your words.

2. NO ADVERTISING

This community is for sharing pictures of awesome food, not a platform to advertise.

3. NO MEMES

4. PICTURES SHOULD BE OF FOOD

Preferably good, high quality pictures of good looking grub; for pictures of terrible food, see !shittyfoodporn@lemmy.ca

I know subs need time to define themselves and grow, but there are very few posts on here right now that are food porn.

Most of them right now are the couple week after a drunken food one-night-stand food abortions.

I get what you mean but it’s all subjective though, ain’t it? You can have some really good looking food, yet there’s no guarantee it’ll actually taste amazing. I’ve been disappointed at more than one Michelin-starred restaurant.

Sometimes you just wanna have some comfort food, and when you see a pic like OP’s, you know it’s going to hit the spot.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a load of dogshit-looking food posted though. I’ve seen plenty of shit that belongs in the bin.

Come on, they steamed the pepperoni on top of tomato slices.

This isn’t comfort food.

Totally agree. Someone posted some grey meat and potatoes on a plate with a bowl of soupy weird tomatoes and people seemed to think that was pretty awesome. Looked kind of sad and depressing to me.

Lol, it's kind of nice to see normal people food. I guess "food porn" would have you think of some sort of higher quality stuff.. but it makes me more likely to post when I don't see professionals here.

If it was ‘food’ or ‘homechefs’ or something I’d be all over this type of food, but this is like seeing Amy Schumer being called a comedian or Nickleback a band.
