Well photographed food porn makes viewers salivate and leaves them feeling hungry, but dishes that both look and sound disgusting, aka sh$%#y food porn, makes people want to skip a meal.
And no matter how fancy the plating or perfect the photographic composition that food just comes out looking like crap on a plate, hence the name.
A glazed weiner suspension with ketchup and mustard foam and cryogenic pickle relish julienne sounds like haute cuisine but photographs like some nasty meat jell-o dish your grandma used to make.
Contributors to the sh$%#y food porn subreddit have made creating and photographing crappy dishes into an art form, bringing highbrow food porn aesthetics to lowbrow dishes like microwaved hot dogs in pickle buns or chicken checkers, whatever that is.
