I heard that this is a new craze (don't know how long it's been around) of taking photos of your food before you eat it at a restaurant. People then upload the pics to Tumblr, Instagram...

I went out to eat w/ this girl and before I would touch the appetizers and main meal she would literally shout, "wait, wait!", and snap a picture of my food while I just stare at her.

I don't get it...

I have no idea what you're talking about. I guess I don't get out much!Have I been missing something important?:lol: :confused:

Yeah, most of my nieces and nephews (20s, teens, and elementary school age) take pictures of their food. I've seen 'em start to dig into their plate with a fork to take the first bite, then suddenly put down the fork and reach for their phone/camera/device to take a photo.

Wow, just imagine if we did that when we were kids. We could've uploaded our cornflakes breakfast, our PB&J lunch, or our meatloaf & mashed potatoes & corn dinner to Tumblr or Instagram! :lol:

It's definitely a young people craze, but I don't get it.

I understand taking a picture of some expensive dish that's over $100.00 (maybe), but not just steak and potatoes.

Me neither, but I'm just glad that they're not taking surprise pictures of me. (Even more annoying than the food pictures, in my opinion)! :mad:

Closely related to that craze: people posting tons of recipes on their Facebook accounts. It gets annoying.

I don't get it either. On my facebook page some of my relatives are always posting pictures of food. It is getting annoying.

I agree! Facebook has turned into Food Network! I'm sick of it too! Also people constantly stating their political views! Enough already!:rolleyes:

Hate to admit it, I am guilty of this. I'm a bit of a foodie and when I (not as often as I would like) am at a 4 star establishment and encounter a dish that is extremely well presented or just mind-blowingly awesome, I will post it to FB.

If I ever post a pic of my QPw/cheez at McD's, I'm either being ironic or it is some sort of cry for help. :crazy:

Are you saying that McDonald's is not a 4 star establishment? That's an outrage! :mad:

Not an insult; when I have a bad cold/flu--NOTHING tastes better than a QPw/Cheez! Those and Cinnamon PopTarts are my sicky comfort food.:)

I love cinnamon poptarts but not with that darn frosting. :(

I haven't dined at McD's in a long time...close to two years, I guess. But I have a bad cold right now, so maybe a QP w/cheez is just what the doctor ordered! :lol:
