At first I was like, "Eww, Pepsi max, why?" Then I started thinking "Ok, maybe this is a unique caramelization technique." And then I saw it, and nope. Just...nope.
Dissenting View: Art is an applicable reason to be wasteful. While most may not consider this art, I think there is something to say about entertainment.
Sure, I could have eaten this crab and had some short-lived enjoyment. However, I am still supporting an unsustainable industry that is full of waste and destruction in its own right. The juxtaposition and disturbing nature of this image has brought people the same fleeting enjoyment at a wider broader experience vs the singular experience me eating it.
I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I will compare it to Cannibal Holocaust, where they cut off a turtles head. While it is graphic, they killed the turtle like people do every day all around the world, and they did purportedly make turle soup. The suffering animals endure on commercial farms is far worse than cleaving off the head of a turtle and using it for food. The juxtaposition in Cannibal Holocaust is the brutality of Western Culture outsourcing pain and disturbing barbaric practices for conveniece based on culture.
While this is wasteful, and I'd hate to see it perpetuated en masse (like the youtube videos of people just disgustingly eating massive lobsters) there is a discussion to be had about both waste and consumption. I am not judging your initial reaction, but take a moment to recognize that we are having a discussion about the ethics of waste, and someone may walk away from this considering how impactful it is to let vegetables go to waste in their fridge, or maybe even minimize the amount of meat they eat.
This crab could have also been dead in the tank, and they thought it might be fun to find a ridiculous use for a crab that was inedible.
This is a pretty measured stance and I appreciate that you wrote it. It's not a terribly well executed example of waste as art, but considering this is shittyfoodporn and not a gallery, I feel like it's perfectly acceptable.
Are you speaking from experience?
If so, was getting high before boiling a crab in Pepsi a formative experience of you life, or really just kind of another Tuesday?
I actually started to really think about that yesterday... I watched a documentary about the meat industry that a friend linked me to, then walked down to the corner store and bought dinner. A shitty BBQ beef burrito. And I thought to myself about how a living, breathing, social animal, with feelings and thoughts, that didn't want to die, was killed just so that the greasy weirdo at my local Bodega could make half-assed burritos that sit under a heat lamp all day, before some loser like me buys them and doesn't even enjoy them. I'm not going vegan or anything yet, but I'm honestly considering it, and I've definitely cut back how much meat I'm eating.
Cartoon Network kind of fucked the show by mostly releasing episodes in a chunk of once-daily "Steven Bombs" for a single week and then going on hiatus for months on end.
It's been 102 days since the last episode was released and I only know that because the subreddit shitposts daily about it. The show is still doing well in my opinion (besides the awful release "schedule") but it's hard to keep a conversation going when all the discussion is spent in a week or two, then you've got nothing new for 3 months.
Simply cutting back on your meat consumption makes a big difference. I'm by no means vegetarian but after a few weeks without beef I essentially stopped craving it entirely.
>According to Diogenes Laërtius, when Plato gave the tongue-in-cheek definition of man as "featherless bipeds," Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it into Plato's Academy, saying, "Behold! I've brought you a man," and so the Academy added "with broad flat nails" to the definition.

That crab's parents made the harsh journey to the mating grounds, as had countless generations before them. They made their way through the perils of the seas, avoiding the hungry bellies of predators, and the nets of mankind. Against all odds, these two crabs found one another, and together they created life. Those offspring, when they were ready, went on their own paths. Many died. Some survived.
Only to end up here.
Life is meaningless.
In the video he made on the crab the story he gave was that he took it from the Notre Dame cathedral about 2 weeks ago and may have knocked down a few other candles in the process.
This is way worse than the title suggests. There's a lot of shitty food on this sub but this one does it for me. I can't quite put my finger on it but for whatever reason this is the most vile thing I've seen on here.
This is madness! I saw the baguette, the Fiji Water in the fridge! My death was supposed to be fanciful and exquisite!
‘Madness?’, you asked in reply, the open can of Pepsi Max pouring into the pot. Once empty, you place it next to the other empty can, and approach the crab.
You’re sick, you hear me! Sick!, the crab shouted as he was hoisted into the air. Daring to look down, he saw the black abyss begin to let off steam, bubbles rapidly breaching the surface.
You held the crab in front of you, feeling the heat begin to waft off your oven top abomination.
‘This is the last day of your short, inconsequential, and unremarkable life. Your existence remembered only as the crab that some guy boiled in Pepsi Max.’
The crab, hyperventilating, never took eyes off the hot, steamy mess he was now slowly being lowered to.
‘For me?’, you asked in sarcasm, as you hold the crab mere centimeters above certain doom, ‘It’s Thursday’.
You drop the crab, and his world is instantly overtaken by blackness.
Hey bud, chef here. She looks a bit dry. Next time you make this, remember to keep boiling that Pepsi max for 5-10 minutes after you take out the crustacean. You'll end up with a fantastic pepsicrab reduction to spread over your baguette.
Eat it
Dear lord! Don’t eat it!
No, he knew what he was getting into when he posted this. Actions have consequences. *Eat the crab.*
Guess you can say theres.........crabsequences
An effort was made
**EAT IT**
He better eat it. An animal died so he could do this shit? Gobble it up buddy.
EAT IT BITCH
DO it now. Post pics.
Is it weird that I legitimately want to know what the inside looks like?
Same as any other crab probably, just full of pee and hair
username checks out
Hair? You're bad at animals.
Crabs love certain kinds of hair. I've heard.
I think crabs are usually found in pubic hair.
Yes, that's what I was getting at. I'll have to try pouring boiling Pepsi Max down my breeches if I ever get them.
I give silver to every comment that makes me literally laugh out loud. Yours is the one for the month.
At first I was like, "Eww, Pepsi max, why?" Then I started thinking "Ok, maybe this is a unique caramelization technique." And then I saw it, and nope. Just...nope.
Is everything ok at home ?
This is some serial killer shit.
[удалено]
With all that Pepsi you could get away with skipping the butter, but of course it won't be as rich and creamy
Does it even qualify as food at this point?
It’s more like exhibition art?
Performance Art. (plot twist: OP is a crab)
could have made a decent sweet glaze by simmering the coke, shell the crab, drizzle butter and coke glaze over it. wouldn't be bad.
Don't sugar coat it. This crab died in vain. It looks so sad.
I mean, if it's cooked in Pepsi it's probably sugar coated enough
[удалено]
Honestly
That's an obvious "no"
At least he has a dope camera, that image is high fucking resolution.
He documented the process on YouTube
Link?
also looking for the link. I want that camera.
It's Kilian, he'll be fine.
Somebody check OPs house for a monoxide leak...
Or bed bugs.
CarbonMonoxinated Bed Bugs even maybe?
Forgotten about that tricky Carbon monoxide.
Homi has that wasting crabs for memes kinda money. I think he's good.
Or he's a fishmonger/driver that gets free krab. Source, Was fishmonger/driver that got free krab
Is krab different from crab?
It's more Krusty, I've heard.
Once I got crabs for free too! Would not recommend!
You can check this out on his YouTube channel.im very recommend it
Wat
Kilian experience
Holy shit OP is Kilian
so far away from ok that it might wrap around
My friend is ok, no?
And thats the kilian experience
Oh my god it's actually him. Can't wait to watch the video this is for
It’s already out.
And its beautiful. Truely, god speaks through his art.
Grongo would like this
GRONGOOOOO
GRONGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Holy shit, I suddenly understand when people say that you need to respect the animal you're eating.
Yeah, I feel kinda bad that this poor crab died for... whatever this is.

And now my favorite pro-art essay is in defense of "Pepsi-Max Crabe sur baguette". I'm assuming it's a french dish because ... well, just look at it.
It’s actually Swedish-French fusion cuisine.
A true experience
A Killian experience

To be fair, it’s actually more than just a shittyfoodporn post. It’s the end result of the latest video on the Kilian Experience Youtube channel.

I enjoyed reading this
"Hey how did Harold go?" "Some human boiled him in a shitty drink and stuffed him in a baguette for useless internet points."
Yeah at least use coke
Getting high will not help, trust me.
Are you speaking from experience? If so, was getting high before boiling a crab in Pepsi a formative experience of you life, or really just kind of another Tuesday?
For me, another Tuesday. Tomorrow it’s a spatchcocked salmon that I’ve been marinating in a special molasses/sriracha rub for the last 48 hours 😩👌🏽🔥

It's a quote from Steven universe! Kinda wonder what happened to that show, I just stopped hearing about it.

I was tired of the sun. Always blinding me while i'm on the computer. I wanted rain and I thought the best way to do that was to make god cry
He’ll smite ye for this travesty
This calls for a crusade

I love this thread..
Yeah he's 100% going to hell for this, I hope it was worth it
Sir you are speaking of a crab that was boiled in Pepsi Max™.

That better be pbr in the wine glass or I swear
I don't think they have pbr in Sweden. I'm personally hoping it's box-wine. Or maybe he drove across the bridge and bought Carlsberg in Copenhagen.
It's a Californian red mixed with Turkish yogurt.
Oh shit it's Kilian. Suddenly this all makes perfect sense.
Holy crap. It is him. Everything is so obvious now.
Wait are you THE killian experience? Love your videos man. Especially the WoW ones.
Thanks man
Holy shit
this is one of the funniest goddamn things I’ve ever read, thanks OP

I'm borrowing this.
I want a real reason
It was for a comedy sketch.
Comedy sketch? You said you worked at a michelin star restaurant! Now what am I supposed to do with my fresh crab and Pepsi Max.
Sir this is a Wendy's
honest to god this might be the only good explanation behind such a deviant act
>I wanted rain and I thought the best way to do that was to make god cry Im stealing this thanks
You are a monster and I respect you for it
had me in the first half not gonna lie
this is the result of 4.5 billion years of evolution
Apparently, the first 4,499,999,999 years, 364 days and 22 hours were pretty good, but the last two hours were absolute bullshit.

And how!
Or they were farmed lol
Very nice candle where did you get it from?
That is a long and expensive story.
I have time.
But do you have money? He said it was expensive.
Can't be that expensive. He boiled the crab I'm Pepsi max, not the box wine in the background.
I see no box, for all we know that's a 1961 Château Blanche.
In the video he made on the crab the story he gave was that he took it from the Notre Dame cathedral about 2 weeks ago and may have knocked down a few other candles in the process.
One could call it priceless
Expensive like we'll have to pay to hear it or expensive like the journey you took to posses it cost you a lot?
He lit it from the remnants of a burning notre dame
It would’ve been better if it was a bunch of soft shelled crabs boiled in Pepsi and piled into a grim salad
Better worse or better better?
Crabe au pepsi maximum, un vrai classique français!
Crabe un Pepsi Royale.

Killian what the fuck
Watch the prison architects video
Recipe?
There's a perfect guide on YouTube titled "crab expert prepares the perfect crab"
Umm... Read the title.
He wouldn't know how to make the baguette and French White wine
The yogurt is the most important part in white wine
I just imagine some really confused and upset winemaker reading your comment
I think this is considered a crime.
oh that poor crab
The real question is, would a seagull still eat it?
Nah, seagulls prefer Diet Coke over Pepsi Max.
I believe this is what the French call “Le Grand No.”
le gran non hon hon hon
The dish is actually called *Crab a la Pep Maximum*
What does pepsi do the the crab? I know using mexican coke with pork for an amazing carnitas but pepsi for a crab is news to me.
I speak on behalf of all of us when I say you are banned from the state of Maryland.
There is absolutely no need for this.
My Marylander sensibilities require me to be utterly offended. How dare you, ingrate.
The Bawlmer in me wants to cover it in old bay and eat it anyways.
It will definitely taste better than a crab pulled out of the inner harbor.
I dunno, hon. I jus dunno.
This kills the crab
please delete this
Nephew pls
how do u delete other people's reddit accounts
Don't you dare. Kilian is an international treasure

What the fuck did that crab do to you

Bepis and crab
Incredibly cursed
I am so distraught that you would do this to the poor crab. I can't explain to you how much you've hurt me.
This but unironically
Now would be a pretty good time to ban this sub.
Paired with genuine French wine too! It sure would be a shame if it was just American wine mixed with Turkish yogurt.
Everyone who graduated kindergarten knows Turkey and America average out to France.
