Nine food jokes so terrible they’re actually delicious — and we dare you not to groan

There is a particular category of joke that operates entirely on the power of the pun – no setup, no twist, no misdirection, just a wordplay so obvious and so committed that it somehow loops back around to being brilliant. These nine food jokes are exactly that. From a kebab that needs to be told to shush, to a patient whose tea-related eye pain has the most magnificent solution, to a piece of blue cheese with genuine emotional problems, to the most heartbreaking question a baby corn has ever asked its mother — these jokes are terrible in the best possible way. We recommend reading them aloud to the nearest available person. The groan you receive will be its own reward.
