When you regret that you ordered mousse au chocolate at an avantgarde restaurant

Overview

A close-up photograph of a chocolate mousse dessert served on a white plate. The mousse has an irregular, unappetizing shape with a porous texture, arranged in a twisted form, and is surrounded by a pool of red sauce. A single raspberry is placed on top of the mousse. Overlaid text reads, "When you regret that you ordered mousse au chocolate at an avantgarde restaurant," humorously capturing the disappointment of expecting a conventional dessert at an avant-garde eatery, where artistic presentation prioritizes uniqueness over traditional appeal.

Origin notes

The image is a meme originally from Reddit, likely created by a user who photographed an actual chocolate mousse dish from an avant-garde restaurant. The creator added the caption to satirize the often pretentious or visually unappealing food presentations characteristic of such establishments, where creativity sometimes results in dishes that look unappetizing despite being edible.

This meme features a photo of a restaurant table with plates of prime rib steaks that are extremely undercooked, showing bright red, raw-looking centers. Above the image, a caption reads 'Ordered a medium well steak and got a medium alive cow'—a playful pun that exaggerates the steak's rawness by comparing it to a living cow. A person at the table is pointing at the over-rare steak, reacting to the stark difference between the requested doneness (medium well, which should be mostly cooked with a slight pink center) and the served, nearly raw meat. The humor comes from hyperbolic wordplay, twisting the steak doneness terminology to joke that the meat is so uncooked it's practically still alive, highlighting the frustration of receiving a meal that doesn't match the order.

The meme consists of two parts: a top text caption that reads 'How to burn 800 calories in 30 minutes...' positioned above a close-up photograph of an extremely overcooked, heavily charred burnt pizza. The pizza's toppings and large portions of its crust are completely blackened, making it obviously inedible. The joke relies on a double meaning of the phrase 'burn calories': the caption initially leads the viewer to expect a fitness tip about expending 800 calories of bodily energy through exercise in half an hour, but the punchline reveals it instead refers to literally burning (charring via overcooking) a pizza that contains ~800 calories over 30 minutes, ruining the food entirely.

This two-panel comparative meme illustrates two different ways to end up with corn kernels in your toilet, framing them as the easy short-term choice vs. the difficult long-term choice that leads to the same outcome. The top panel uses the classic 3D figure stepping on a rake meme, showing the figure immediately stepping on a rake and getting hit in the face, labeled 'Throwing Corn kernels in toilet' as the instant, low-effort bad choice. The bottom panel uses the skateboard trick sequence meme, showing a man performing a long series of complex skateboard grinds down a stair rail, only to end by stepping on a rake and getting hit in the face, labeled 'Eating corn and then pooping them undigested next day' as the longer, more delayed process that still results in the same end consequence of corn in the toilet. The joke leans into the common relatable experience that corn is frequently undigested when passed as waste, so eating corn leads to the same result as just throwing it directly in the toilet, just after more time and steps.
