No other way of fulfilling our basic needs has quite the glamor that food has, purely because of the variety that is available to us when it comes to eating. There are seemingly limitless amounts of things we can use to satiate our hunger, and all kinds of tricks to learn in the kitchen to make them a reality. We could order in or get somebody else to cook for us all the time, but where’s the fun in that? Knowing how to make the foods we love is a skill both enjoyable and practical.

That being said, sometimes the effort to whip up something delicious in the kitchen feels like too much to bear. This is when it helps to bring some humor into the equation, which cooking memes manage to do with aplomb. They may not always showcase a tasty result, but they are still plenty amusing with their food-based entertainment.
