Are they food? I dunno. You can eat them.

These are the Jumbo Snax version of Froot Loops which I just found out existed. I live in Ontario so I drove across to New York to buy a couple of boxes of the little snack packs of these things. They're everything you would expect from jumbo Froot Loops. They're about the size of a quarter.

AA battery for scale.

I grab a pack and munch on them while I'm on boring Zoom meetings. They have very little nutritional value but they have huge entertainment value. They're sweet and crunchy.

So I am 19 years old and was never taught how to cook. Sadly I have a really bad eating style due to being autistic and lots of foods disgusting to me. Though I really need to know how to cook. I’m not gaining any weight funnily even though I eat like absolute crap. Though my maintenance calorie intake is upwards to 2,850 and I only eat 1.4K calories if I don’t snack or eat a third meal but if I snack probably more near 1.7k and a third meal ether 1.9k or 1.6k depending on which meal I eat again. Though these are Peanut butter grilled sandwiches and frozen party pizzas. Everyone I know questions how I’m still alive. So any help her would be appreciated! Thank you

So I’ve been wondering this but when I eat peanut butter lots of the times it causes my upper roof of my mouth near my teeth to feel really raw, almost like it’s bleeding. Though it’s not and I was wondering what this could be?

Hello all,

Until such time that Lemmy's user growth is at a point that it can support some of the smaller, niche cooking communities, these communities will be locked. We are asking that users sub to [email protected] until such time that these communities can be reopened. Thank you!

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/7558083

For recipes, questions, and all other general culinary discussion, please sub to [email protected].

Hello everyone,

We're calling it. The vote posts in Cooking, AskCulinary, Food, and Recipes are all overwhelmingly in support of OPTION 1 so we're moving forward with that decision.

So what does this mean?

• [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] will all be locked until such time the user-base is large enough to support them. A pinned post will be in each community pointing everyone to !Cooking.
• !Cooking will be the place to be for all general cooking discussion, questions about cooking, and sharing recipes, so we are asking users of the other communities to sub if they aren't already.
• Mods will stay assigned to the other communities and we will periodically revisit to discuss reopening them. We are confident Lemmy as a whole will continue growing and we will be able to see every niche community thriving.
• The more niche communities such as BBQ, FoodPorn, SousVide, and KoreanFood will continue as they are, but we encourage posting in them as well as Cooking whenever relevant.
• The sidebar to !Cooking will be updated to reflect the changes as well as new rules for posting to help organize the different types of posts.

Thank you everyone for voting and taking part in this change. Any questions, please comment below and we will do our best to answer. Also, if you have any additional feedback, please let us know below as well.

Hello again,

After getting some feedback on what we should do to help our culinary communities growth in the form of a potential "merger", we have some options and would like each community to vote on the next step. This ballot will be posted and pinned on !recipes, !food, !cooking, and !askculinary, as those are the communities we're looking to combine. Below are comments corresponding to each vote decision.

Please vote by upvoting one of the comments below. Downvotes will be ignored. This post will be left up for a week or until consensus is decided.

Additional info:

If option 1 or 2 get picked, [email protected] will be a catch-all so to help organize, we will be implementing tagging posts. Since Lemmy does not have built in tagging yet, we will be requiring posts to be tagged in the title. For example a post title could be:

[RECIPE] Beef Stroganoff

or

[QUESTION] If you had to eat only one culture's cuisine for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

The community sidebar will have a list of all approved tags and we will be tweaking this as we go along. Tagging may be implemented on some communities regardless of merging or not.

No matter which direction we go, the other more niche communities such as !bbq, !sousvide, and !koreanfood will be left as they are, though we encourage users to post in both !cooking as well as the more niche communities. (We are looking into possible automating this, but there are some obstacles to think about. If this becomes a possibility, we will pin a post to discuss this further) This should limit the amount of duplicate posts and if users still feel there are too many duplicates in their feeds, they can unsub from the niche community and still see the same content, that is if everyone takes part in posting to all relevant communities.

!FoodPorn will remain it's own thing as a showcase of food photos. The mods of that community will have final say on what gets posted there. Food photos are still encouraged in all other communities, but additional information may be needed depending on what community it is. See sidebars of each for content rules.

Hello again!

So we, the food and cooking community mods, have been discussing merging a few of the communities together. We're pretty fractured at the moment and we don't really have the userbase to support so many niche communities so we're looking at merging some. We previously pinned a post asking users to cross-post to relevant communities and some of the feedback we received is some don't like this as it can clutter their feeds. Also there were many suggestions of merging until we get more growth and can support more nice communities.

So the plan would be to merge !askculinary, !bbq, !cooking, !food, and !recipes. This would combine a lot of the more general food communities into one and hopefully we reduce cross posting as well as grow users and content. Later, if we have a larger userbase that can support more niche communities, we can spin them off again. So, before moving forward with the merge, we wanted to make sure you all are aware of the plans as well as get some feedback on this decision. So please let us know what you think. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks!

EDIT: To explain how this would work, we have a couple options:

1. Lock all the niche communities and leave a pinned post pointing to the main Food community. Later we may reopen them once the userbase grows to support them.

2. Leave all communities open and cross post from the niche communities to the main one. So when you post a recipe to [email protected], it would get crossposted to [email protected]. [email protected] would be a catch all if you wanted the "fire hose" approach. Or you can sub to the niche communities you want.

Still experimenting with multiple images here.. anyway..

After having some delicious pinwheels at some social event, my girlfriend and I have been on a kick making these.

Ingredients are, in order:

• Wrap
• Sauce mix of truffle mayo, grain mustard, and for me - some hot sauce
• Lettuce
• Turkey slices, and ham slices
• White cheddar
• ROLL!

We're still working on ways to make this process easier. She tends to just cut hers in half and eat it as a wrap. The pre-chopped lettuce probably makes this harder to roll instead of using large leafs.

This one fell apart as I was rotating the wheels sideways for photos (hence the attempt!). I ate the evidence before the shot.
