The world of memes has an obsession with making quasi-sociological observations on how people cook in their day-to-day lives, often along gendered lines. There is wifeslop, the kind of simple, crockpot-friendly meal a busy mom might make for her husband and family on a weeknight, and d*pression meals, the type of plate a person puts together when they’re at their lowest ebb. We also have girl dinner, which celebrates the joy of eating a combination of random, delicious things all at once, and its slightly less palatable, gender-swapped equivalent, boy dinner. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
It just goes to show that you don’t have to be a master chef to feed yourself, let alone appreciate a good cooking meme. The internet humor that surrounds this topic may not inspire you to try a new recipe, but it will certainly elicit a chuckle related to what we whip up in the kitchen.
