Gastronomic wonders: 12 strange and funny dishes that you can encounter at the most unexpected moment (13 photos)

The purpose of food is quite prosaic: we eat to sustain life. But given the huge selection, catering establishment owners resort to all sorts of tricks and gimmicks to interest gastronomic gourmet perverts.





Strange combinations, unusual names and completely new dishes are used. Home cooks are not far behind. And sometimes when you try something new in a restaurant around the corner or at grandma's, you don't know what awaits you on the plate. Sometimes it turns out to be brilliant, sometimes it’s weird, and sometimes it’s so unexpected that you’re left in a slight shock. The dishes can look like works of art or complete chaos. Depending on taste preferences, these dishes, which users encountered in different places, can make you want to either repeat the experiment or think twice.

1. Ice Cream Alternative



My dessert today: crushed ice, Lipton peach tea, and about half a kilo of sugar.

2. Nice combination, but weird execution





My grandma gave me this cake today. It's canned fruit, gelatin, and chocolate chips on a sponge cake. The recipe is from a 1960s cookbook. Next time she'll probably make a microwave tuna casserole.

3. Greetings from Italy



I found this "pizza" with hot dogs and French fries as a topping at a gas station in ITALY.

4. Vitamin salad for a growing body



We were delighted with this salad at school today.

5. There's no such thing as too much cheese



A real cheese sandwich.

6. Breakfast for real sleepyheads



When even the eggs can't find the strength to open their eyes.

7. For lovers of maximalism



Pizza with pork neck, cevapi sausages, green onions and vegetable caviar.

8. Unknown in cooking, but very satisfying design



For those who are on a diet and do not eat bread.

9. Certified Brilliant Stupidity



A dumpling burger is a thing!

10. Bacon with gold for the price of a cast-iron bridge



Fun fact: gold leaf is not actually very expensive. But because it looks pretentious, establishments that use it to decorate dishes are very happy to charge money for everything connected with it.

11. Bloody Mary, is that you?



Cool stuff, give me two.

12. Fast food for real ninjas



Japanese IKEA serves black hot dogs "in ninja style".
