In Issue 08, we unleash food’s shady side, via honey that delivers a taste of madness, a joyless meal replacement turned BDSM staple, and a late-night hungry tour of Berlin’s best döner shops. Yes, we dive deep into the legacy of bacon-on-everything 2010s online food content and sip on cider made from stolen fruit, but we also explore vice’s darker manifestations. We meet Indigenous lobster fishermen whose rights are being infringed upon, staff working at ultra-luxe parties where excessive food waste is the norm, and prisoners who created a cookbook to grapple with systemic scarcity. That’s not all—there’s much more illicit goodness inside.
