You can't help but feel perplexed when your spaghetti bolognese is served in several jars that are supposed to reflect the restaurant's own deconstructed version of the dish. After all, spending a lot of money on a dish that you could make at home is hardly anyone's idea of a perfect dining experience.
However, the food business is competitive, and restaurants will go to great lengths to win your favor. We get to see how far they will go thanks to the beloved section of Reddit on the internet dubbed "Stupid Food."
The restaurant owners and chefs that come up with arrogant ways to serve their dishes, overpowering and repulsing their clients in the process, are successfully called out by this online community. You can tell it's going to be good by its description:
"A place to lambast idiotic methods of serving food, or any other epicurean inanity worthy of ridicule."
Since 2015, the internet community known as "Stupid Food" has been criticizing haughty and stupid foods, and they don't hold back. With more than 800,000 followers, the group appears to have a huge appetite and is constantly looking for fresh monstrosities to adorn their screens.
Check out this bizarre selection of ridiculous food inventions we've gathered from the group by scrolling down below.

It sounds absurd, and that's because it is, to have your edible rocks (yes, there are such things) served on a bed of actual rocks. However, if you consider yourself a foodie, you have undoubtedly observed that strange food portions are currently popular, especially at expensive places.
This raises the question of why it annoys us so much when businesses legitimately want to stand out and wow us.
