In the spirit of ETF and this site, I wouldve imagined there already being a foodporn thread filled with pictures of what people eat!for some nice inspiration,which i clearly lack.
So,how about it?Post those breakfasts,lunches and dinnerfeasts!
No, she’s not being gross at all- that’s really what it’s called when people share pictures of delicious food! The colloquialism itself may be a crude term, but don’t blame Dutchie for it ;)
Thanx Butterball:)……but who are you replying to?
I’m sorry if I offended anyone with the title,it’s just the only term I regularly come across that basically means a meal pcture sharing thread.
(Oh,maybe I should’ve called it that)Wow. I am about 11 months pregnant and I read Linda’s comment as ‘a gross idea’… So sorry, this baby is stealing all my smarts and make me read not good- at least I’ll blame him for now ;) my apologies to all!
@butterball LOL,no problem! Poor baby,already coming into the world as a scapegoat;)
No seriously,i wish you well with the pregnancy and a healthy happy baby:)Hey Dutchie, I know you’re not in the States, but have you heard of Pinterest? This is what I use to search for and “pin” my own food porn. Pancakes, smoothies, milkshakes, shrimp dishes, coconut recipes, etc. It is easy to sign up for and you can “follow” other people’s boards so you can get other ideas. It is also used for fashion, design, and some “workout” ideas that can be triggering if you search for them, but I just use it to get ideas for dinner. I find, at the very least, that it calms me enough to WANT to eat food when I just feel blah.
@tangytam yes ive heard of it and subscribed a while ago bc i found a board of a girl who pins peat related stuff. But im still not sure how it works,basically the entire functioning.
Often ill type a searchword and rarely anything turns up.@Dutchie, hmmmm…. I wish I could help you with what you’re missing. Since I don’t know what you’re stuck on, I’m going to go through the basics. However, if you aren’t interested or I’m still not addressing your question, please disregard as I mean no insult!
If you’re interested, you can just start with the Categories (this is a symbol that looks like an equals sign = with another line that looks like _ under it so it is 3 lines together up in a corner; I believe this symbol is right next to the search bar) and click on the “Food & Drink” heading. This will lead you to a page filled with “pins” of food & drinks that people have pinned recently.Right now when I click “Food & Drink” I see pictures for recipes of “Dutch potato salad”, “Sweet potato chipotle soup with avocado”, and “frosty coconut mojitos” among hundreds.
You can scroll through this and look for any ideas that appeal to you. Once you see something that you like you click the picture and then click “Pin It”. You’ll then have to pick one of your boards to pin it to, as a small tab opens up. You can name that board anything you want. That is how you build your own board of pins.
If you find a pin you like and click the pin and click it again, it will take you to the website where that pin originated from. Often times, if you liked that pin, you’ll like other things on that website, too. You can then pin directly from that website or blog if it has the little Pinterest “P” for pinning.
You can also just “follow” a person or a specific board from a person who you seem to a lot of pins from.
It might not work if you are searching too specifically. But I just typed in “Ray Peat” in the search bar and it opened up a bunch of pins that look promising. I do not strive for any particular eating style, but Pinterest lets me look at food porn and ditch my orthorexic eating patterns.
I’m only trying to help if you were interested and just didn’t know how to get started. If you aren’t interested, I understand! I like to use pinterest as my food porn, as I really don’t post much else except for tattoos and some pretty home decor. You can search for me under the same username and click pinners instead of pins to search for, and there I am!
@Tangytam Thank You so much for taking the time yo explain it to me!I really appreciate it:)
In the weekend I’m gonna try to delve into Pinterest more deeply and follow your steps.
I mainly wondered what the function of Pinterest was….like is it something you had to install on your computer,so your pins become your wallscreen on your computer or something like that. I just didn’t see the significance of it.:)@Dutchie
Pinterest is just a website that you have your own space to collect webpages on. I think part of the idea comes from “Idea Boards” that positive manifestation psychology talks about. If you put up your dream board for your house, career, body, or wedding, then you are more likely to have it come true, so says that thinking. This is just a digital version of cutting up newspaper and magazine pics and articles and putting them in a binder or on a cork board.I just use it for ideas for food, mostly. It is so nice to look at all of the pretty photos of food to get inspired to create something rather than looking at a bland google search of recipes with words. If I’m craving something, like shrimp, I’ll either look for new pins and ideas or look at my own board and look at what I’ve already made that was good. I avoid recipes that say low fat, sugar-free, or use ingredients that I don’t like. Sometimes I pin them anyway and just substitute where I see fit. The inspiration is what I really look forward to when using pinterest. Most of my friends use it for wedding ideas, or for creating their “perfect” house, but I don’t really care.
Anyway, sorry for taking attention away from your thread. It suits my purposes for food porn, and has been working so well as I continue to Eat the Food to heal, that I thought I’d recommend it. Let me know if you have any other questions about using pinterest, and I’ll help you out :)
@Tangytam Thanx,I think I’m gonna peruse it in the weekend.:)
Don’t know how to post a pic on this forum, but this homemade hot fudge sauce looks deliciously evil.
