Do you know what I’m seeing everywhere at the moment and really turns my stomach?

[TheChosenTwo]

Those revolting ‘grazing boards’, also ‘grazing boxes’.
Now I hate different types of food touching each other at the best of times but these things really make my stomach churn!
If you don’t know what they are, I’ll see if I can find a pic to attach.
Just an ugly mishmash of food which has no place being squished against something else, with everyone digging their fingers about it all to get the bits they want, are there plates involved or do people literally stand over these eating them?
I can’t be the only person who thinks these are vile! The waste must be ridiculous too.
The boxes remind me of kids packed lunch boxes, things all smooshed together crumbing up things with no crumbs
Bleurgh.
What turns your stomach? Humour me, make me feel like less of a weirdo

The word stinky. I just seen it in a thread title it makes me feel sick when used by anyone above toddler age so although I have loads of stuff that turns my stomach this is the first one that came to mind .

A grazing board is delightful.

A grazing box is an abomination!

I love the look of graze boards! But they often just repeat the same boring stuff so probably not amazing to eat. My stomach-turning thing is that KFC advert with someone's mouth tattoo....... Why???

Ooh I'm hungry now!

I can't believe it's a thing to pay someone to come to your house and set this sort of thing up on your kitchen table. At £50 or something ridiculous.

Just go to Asda, buy some snacks and shove them in some bowls FFS

Surely currently people are less inclined to want buffet type food than ever though. My friend is on holiday at an all inclusive resort in Mallorca. The thought of everyone breathing on the food and touching the tongs (or not using them at all) is gross.

Blerk, can't believe this is a thing especially at the moment. Covid boards 🤣

That reminds me of the scene in 'Toys', 'I'm a military man, I like a military meal'. . .

Now I have to say I love a good charcuterie board but that picture is not appealing. I fact it's slightly triggering that weird phobia-of-holes-in-things in me

I love a good charcuterie board for the complete convenience of only having one thing to wash up

That doesn't appeal.
Looks like the sort of food that'd give you wind if you ate too much

I'd love that ... but with mini tongs, especially now.

tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz me too with the holes 🤢

So it's a tightly-packed mezze? Is that the idea?

That photo is actually quite disturbing, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps there's just too much of it all at once.

Spread out and arranged properly it would look far better.

In the board in the op, there are brownies shoved against rolls of salami. Gross!!

It looks like a primary school Autumn nature table. And has probably had just as many grubby hands all over it 🤮

They are just grim. Especially the ones with sweet and savoury mixed together. The ham is touching the party rings . I keep seeing them advertised on fb marketplace where someone has made some sandwiches, bought some cheap cupcakes and just boxed them up all together with a load of other crap and flogs them for £15. Who is buying them?

That’s gross. Some of those foods shouldn’t be anywhere near each other. Looks most unappetising.

No, I wouldn't pay a lot of money for someone to manhandle £5 of food from perfectly adequate packaging into a cardboard pizza box and drop it off at my house.
They do sweet ones by mine. Just go get the 5 for £1 packs of sweets from Asda, a pack of digestives and a jar of chocolate spread.

It's just randoms shit dumped on a table
A neighbour of ours when I was a kid used to tell her children "We're having a buffet!!" when the cupboard was looking a bit bare.
Said buffet consisted of every bit of food left in the house (one packet of crisps, the last two biscuits in a packet, two slices of ham, the end of a block of cheese, a wrinkly tomato, type stuff) unceremoniously dumped on the table and everyone told to "help yourselves".
It was like feeding time at the fucking zoo.
Got to hand it to you, Imelda, you were ahead of your time 😂

That looks horrendous

All I can think is that those crackers/crisps must be so soggy. not envy. I do like a charcuterie board but with crisp crackers please.

Any homemade food that’s brought to a second location has the ability to make me want to projectile vomit. A picnic where people bring things they’ve made at home (or to a shudder ‘pot luck’) makes me want to hurl myself into a crevasse.

Eating peoples homemade food in their own home is fine for some reason. Homemade food brought to a second location cannot be tolerated and must be punished.

Can someone tell me what's in the bowl in the bottom right corner? It looks like raw mince 😂
