[–] solstice@lemmy.world 16 points 3 years ago (1 child) I'm a fan of Beyond meat but this doesn't qualify as food porn. They look ok I guess but definitely not porn level. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Years ago I spent a handful of months in Japan. It was wonderful, as always. But a couple months in I was really jonesing for some tasty Mexican food. I was told of a Mexican restaurant that was close enough. I went and ordered a chicken burrito and something else (I don't remember). It showed up and looked exactly what I would have gotten from one of the hundreds of Mexican restaurants around where I lived in SoCal. I took a bite and...not a single flavor was right. It looked wonderful, but tasted like a joke. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] solstice@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago* I agree looks can be deceiving. My go to example is a wedding cake that's 90% fondant, blech. I stand by my statement though, even if the meal was good, that photo of it is not. permalink fedilink source parent
