Dear r/recipes, I felt the need to make this post as a way off venting after I browsed the top posts of GifRecipes.
Is it just me, or are an unusually high proportion of the recipes incredibly repulsive? I noticed this phenomenon when I stumbled upon a popular recipe that involved deep frying an entire block of brie cheese, and from browsing the top posts realised this was a common theme. Recipes typically start by making what would be a lovely meal, then halfway through, the recipe becomes perverted, usually by smothering or stuffing with cheese, deep fat frying or just doing something bizarre for the sake of it.
Don't get me wrong, the majority of the recipes that get upvoted look great, and overall I think it's a good subreddit, just I wondered if anyone else shares my observation.
bon appetit
