I have been getting a lot of my meals cooked for me at the moment, and I can’t deny that it is a freeing experience. Not having to spend all that much time in the kitchen or endure the mental back and forth when deciding what to make is a nice break from one of the small but persistent responsibilities of adult life.

That being said, that doesn’t mean that cooking is always a total chore. In fact, it can be very rewarding to try out a new recipe or serve up an old favorite for family and friends. It also allows us to relate to the silly humor that can be found in cooking memes, which acknowledge just how deep our appreciation for food can go, and the impact it has on us culturally and personally. All of the funny tidbits that can be found below are a almost a meal in themselves.
