What to have with my cuppa?

I don't get it either. "I'm just taking a photo to remember my food" is weird enough- if it was good enough to deserve eating again you'd remember it. If it was bad enough to never want to eat again you'd remember it. If you don't remember it, it was neither good nor bad enough to be worth remembering.

Then sharing it with everyone you sort of know- why? Why why why?

Never had a conversation with a friend like this then I take it:

[i]"What did you get up to last night?"

"Oh we went out to that new Japanese place on the High Street. They do this really amazing Yakitori with fried..."

"Do one. Blocked."

Similarly, most wedding photos- why share them? We've not put ours on facebook because 90% of our friends aren't interested and it was our do, not someone I was good friends with 5 years ago and didn't feel the need to invite...

ugh!

I took [url=

when I was in Vegas and posted to Instagram. Mostly because it was quite strange food (duck tongue and lychee taco and a beef tendon and oyster taco).

I normally can't stand meal photos on twitter etc, this is the only one you'll ever see from me....

Et voila!!!

Actually it was beautiful - not dry you can see it glistening - but it was enormous (that's a full size dinner fork at the top for scale)

1.2kg of solid pork. With beer. For £7 (Slovakia)

hmmm Brant (and Ed) win 🙂

I do it with beer on Twitter, usually outs the beer lovers with other recommendations, have found some decent stuff that way.

Is that allowed?

I'm bloody hungry.

I'm just having a pack of cheese and onion Hula Hoops. Does anyone want a picture before I've finished them? OMG!! WTF!!!! LOL!!!!! etc etc....

No conversations about what you're up to it would seem aren't allowed on social network sites. I think you can only post about pressing Like to cure a sick child or find a missing pet from a place you've never heard of.

i dont know about you drac, but its very frustrating hitting 'refresh' to see if the photo gets 5000 likes before you'll start helping a patient.

[b]YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES![/b] (as Sally once remarked to Harry).

I've been known to post photo's of beer & post ride fish & chips....

Admittedly pointless, but no different to 99% of the cak that is the mainstay of Facebook.

Oh, I may also have posted the odd cake or patisserie as well...

Then sharing it with everyone you sort of know- why? Why why why?

Doesn't the whole 'why?, why?, why?' question apply to 90% of what people post on Facebook? Why should food be any different.

If you're asking yourself 'why?' (especially multiple times) then the 'unfriend' button is your friend.

I get more annoyed when people post / like the 'chain mail' type stuff - 'Like this or you have no heart' kind of thing. As soon as I see this, they get 'unfriended' forever. Getting a million likes, is like the new mile-high club, or something (neither of which, I am a member of.)

Guilty.

I've removed the waffle.

I'd use Faceache if it had an "Unlike" button instead of "Like".
Or even a "Pointless", "Boring" or "Yawn" button.

I think if you only want [i]really important[/i] news, rather than general gossip, laughs and daily snippets and vignettes of your friends lives then maybe Facebook isn't the place to look?

AKA you're doing it wrong.

Yep, one of my mates does this a lot. 3 or 4 times a week. He even posts regular pics of him drinking coffee, eating cake, drinking beer etc. Why???? Just why????

Or even a "Pointless", "Boring" or "Yawn" button.

Or a gag button.

Or a "You after more attention?" button.

Or a "i've got a lob on" button

I often put up pictures of cake that I've made, or cake that I've eaten or just random cake.......don't worry tho, my profile is private so there's only a couple off her who get to see it

[img] [/img]

I don't have kids or a pet. Pies are my nearest and dearest, why wouldn't i want to share?

[img] [/img]

Gotta be careful about the FB posts...

[img] [/img]

about a third of my pictures from last year's trip to china were food based.

At christmas i made this raised pork pie, i was very proud so posted it, this thread gives me the opportunity to do so again, sadly i used a crappy phone cam so the rich colour gets washed out quite a bit.
I included the large pepper grinder for scale.

[img] [/img]

a breakfast pic i posted once

[img] [/img]

It was a particularly good breakfast.

My god, this was a good cake day, I remember it like yesterday!

[img] [/img]

that cake actually looks alright... the rest look like sh!t

was it, in fact, yesterday?

Some of my friends are talented cooks/professional chefs. Happy to see them post pics of their creations!

unklehomered............I wish 🙁

Its from a 'posh' garden centre restaurant, I make the 50mile round tri a couple of times a year, just for that cake!

The only food I've ever posted a picture of on a social networking site. I consider it carbo-loading... 😀

Dont do the FB stuff so I will take advantage of this opportunity to show this tasty snack I picked up at a Oslo Airport, no idea what it is..

Food pics are what FB was invented for!

Hmmm! What is sadder taking pictures of food and posting on a social network or taking pictures of someone taking pictures of food and posting on a website?

Very common out here and guilty of it a lot, food is an important part of Asian culture so it not only tends to crop up in conversation a lot but also as a result ends up with the usually food pics on the social media sites.
In my limited defence though I stick to stuff that is a little different, do it rarely and never take pics of people taking pics.

Grumbling on an internet forum about people taking pictures of people taking pictures of food is definitely sadder - especially when you post it twice 😉

aracer, spot on. No different to posting up pics of bikes on an internet forum, we're all into different things, accept and move on.

I appreciate it when my friends take a pic of some good looking food. And to get the good you need the bad too. I say let them carry on! If you don't like don't look!

[img] [/img]

Yep a double post whinge about how sad posting pics of food is definitely take some beating in the sadness stakes.

I was watching BBC Breakfast this morning and John McGuire (reporter) was looking at a photo of a sheppards pie served in a hospital. He didn't know what it was... excellent example of what i'm trying to express in this thread.

Photos of food taken by amateurs are, in my experience and the majority of the time, akin to cack on a plate. Admittedly hospital food doesn't need to try hard to look bad.

Many thanks and kind regards... SC

If it's unusual or interesting then it's fair enough.

BrewDog produced Ghost Deer, which, at 28%, they claim to be the world's strongest beer produced by fermentation alone.
