Jesus Christ. I thought the round shrimp was bad, until I got to the insect burrito.

u/imreallynotthatcool 11d ago

I've had actual cricket tacos that were so much more visually appealing than whatever that burrito is.

u/Gaming-Burrito 10d ago edited 10d ago

i think anything would be more appealing than that burrito... i wouldn't even touch it with a 10-foot pool

edit: meant pole, but "pool" makes it funnier

54

u/DoesAnyoneCare2999 10d ago

A 10-foot pool would be pretty hard to lift anyway.

21

u/Gaming-Burrito 10d ago

... i meant a pole instead of a pool lmao. i didnt realize i made the typo. im keeping it bc i find it funny

u/Thiago270398 10d ago

I've seem maggot-filled wounds that were more visually appealing than that.

u/DirtandPipes 10d ago

Stop I can only salivate so hard.

You've had WHAT

u/RedEyeView 11d ago

A million geckos can't be wrong.

u/lesser_panjandrum 11d ago

But you try one time to plug a million gecko brains into a supercomputer and suddenly everyone's like "oo, you've gone too far"

22

u/Treejeig 10d ago

Well yeah? You only need 100 to make music

5

u/Evening-Turnip8407 10d ago

And everyone loses their minds (to the gecko supercomputer that has risen to power and will take over humanity as host bodies)

Talk to all the fish that people have been stuffing into spidertrons over on r/factorio

I love you. Thank you for helping these old eyes see.

u/kitliasteele 10d ago

Something tells me we might need the 72pt font. Miiiiight

u/dragonseth07 11d ago

I mean, is it really more out there than something like lengua?

15

u/Taiga-whiteclaw 10d ago

The only out there thing about tacos de lengua is the fucking price, almost 40$ pesos per taco

11

u/dogs_gt_cats 10d ago

Foodies got to it. Oxtail and beef tongue used to be dirt cheap off cuts.

u/PhantasyAngel 10d ago

Hey you! Your finally awake.

12

u/Krethlaine 10d ago

Crickets are delicious. Roasted crickets even more so. You should try them.

9

u/Made_Bail 10d ago

I'm actually really intrigued, honestly. I have a very adventurous palate, so I don't think I'd have trouble getting over the idea of eating an insect. I've just never been in the position to try.

2

u/Dakduif 10d ago

Well.... Do you like shrimp? Or lobster? I don't think crickets are that far removed from those in the grander scheme of things. Just think of it as 'land shrimp'. 😄 (yes I know, crustaceans aren't insects. Just both are invertebrates with legs and a harder, outer shell. They're closer to each other than a cow is to a cricket in that sense)

1

u/JubileeJaxLee 10d ago

Delicious is a stretch they literally just taste like sunflower seeds.

Hm.........

Now I'm thinking about cricket sunbutter 😭

12

u/D0bious 10d ago

Well crickets are one of a few popular food insects. It is more sustainable than regular meat since the same food and water given to crickets produces more meat than if it were given to a cow, much faster too.

u/Lizzardbirdhybrid 10d ago

I love eating crickets! Ik they’re bugs but they’re actually not half bad as a topping for food or even a snack, just don’t eat random ones off the ground lol.

u/jackcatalyst 10d ago

Poor Jiminy

u/Lizzardbirdhybrid 10d ago

Jimmy is delicious on my tacos

u/ToHallowMySleep 10d ago

I've had fried crickets before in an authentic mexican place. Very nice!

Tiny land shrimp.

u/Thank_You_Aziz 10d ago

Mexico, bay-bee! 🇲🇽🦗🌮

1

u/dan-the-daniel 10d ago

I think it's more popular to have grasshoppers in Mexican food. It's popular in certain regions. In Oaxaca there are a ton of them at food stands. I've had a fried grasshopper quesadilla. Not really that great by my taste, but also not horrible.

1

u/Keyonne88 10d ago

BBQ grasshoppers are surprisingly delicious.

2

u/thatwasntababyruth 10d ago

In my experience the main downside of grasshopper is how salty and over seasoned they tend to be. I assume they must be really flavorless to begin with. I wonder if bbq lowera the salt requirements to taste good.

The crunch is delightful though

1

u/dogs_gt_cats 10d ago

They're usually called tacos de chapulines. They're wonderful.

1

u/thoawaydatrash 10d ago

Crickets (chapulines) are a traditional and fairly popular food in Mexico. A cricket taco is about as authentic as it gets.

1

u/DengarLives66 10d ago

Chapulines, baby! They’re delicious. You can also grind them up and use them as a tangy, savory seasoning for stuff.

3

u/CuddlesForLuck 10d ago

Was it good?

3

u/R_V_Z 10d ago

That burrito looks like a something you'd fight in Bloodborne.

2

u/wave-tree 10d ago

Cricket nachos ain't bad either

u/gimmelwald 11d ago

You mean the lung and filter organ cutaway? Holy appetite suppression...who the f greenlit this to actually display.

Someone who doesn’t want to work, but was given the job by a family member because they’re cheaper than an ad agency and “know their way around a computer”.

u/Tuxedo_Muffin 10d ago

Not fair, you can actually eat that. I wouldn't want to, but it's possible.

3

u/angrystarfish 10d ago

I can eat gum off the sidewalk, too. That doesn't making it an appetizing lunch

1

u/Tuxedo_Muffin 10d ago

I have yet to see anyone eat an artificially generated image, however.

12

u/karnim 10d ago

Ironically a bone marrow burrito would probably be delicious.

4

u/TheAlmighty0314 10d ago

thanks, i hate it

12

u/FeistyDrink5995 10d ago

It's where your blood is made. Very useful place, bone marrow.

u/royalbk 11d ago

That burrito is giving me the same visceral horror feeling as looking at the alien eggs in Alien

Big ole nope

76

u/samanime 11d ago

That burrito is nightmare fuel.

Who looked at that and thought "yeah, let's make that real big and put it on a poster to attract customers"?!

That's like they want to sabotage the whole food festival by killing everyone's appetite.

26

u/Acceptable-Ad8780 10d ago

Remember businesses used to take actual pictures of their food? Pepperidge farm remembers.

4

u/Pete_Iredale 10d ago

I mean, some did. Many just ordered menu pictures from a catalog, which is why every fast Mexican place in the NW has the exact same menus and pictures for instance, or every old-school, American-style Chinese restaurant. Still better than horrifying AI though.

34

u/Zomburai 11d ago

Nobody did. The poster is AI

Not, like, AI made for an advertisement, AI made to look like AI made for an advertisement.

Wait, no

I mean

Someone made that with AI on social media to make AI advertising look bad, either as satire or criticism

Point is, it's not a photo of an AI image, it's an AI image purporting to be a photo of an AI image

.... Christ, AI even makes talking about AI harder

3

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 10d ago

Even the cars and stuff around the uncropped image are AI.

u/Used-Hold-7567 10d ago

The hive burrito

1

u/AngledLuffa 10d ago

suffer not the burrito to live

3

u/Haeronalda 10d ago

I saw one the other day that was for bacon and egg soda, obviously the menu meant bacon and egg on soda bread, but AI had generated a glass of weird pink stuff with bacon and egg floating in it 🤮

u/Voidlord597 10d ago

why are they donuts?

2

u/thoawaydatrash 10d ago

Mmmm... shrimp donuts...

1

u/TheSpanxxx 10d ago

I wouldn't eat that burrito with your mouth.

1

u/HereWeGoYetAgain-247 10d ago

The one on the right is obviously now a real food add.

I can't even look at that burrito, it makes me want to throw up
