What do you get out of bed for in the morning? That's correct—the answer is breakfast. And what do you want to achieve with your day today? That's also right—you want to achieve lunch. And how do you like to spend your evenings? Once again, you're bang on the money—the answer to that little head-scratcher is dinner. And how do you go that extra mile? You guessed it—snacks.

So, whether you're looking for inspiration, mastication, or just a new way to pour a little more acid on that stomach ulcer, here is a selection of the best food porn uploaded to Instagram this week.

Bon appetit, you guzzling glories.

Chicken of the woods(laetiporus sulphureus), waiting to harvest until after the rains. Hopefully a raccoon or squirrel or any other type of little varmint does not steal it!! #mycology #fungus #mushroom #mushrooms #forager #wilderness #wildcaught #chickenofthewoods #instamushroom #forage #foraging

Sure, you can call that the chicken of the woods, if it makes you happy. But we both know what what we're looking at here is the expanding insulation foam of the cavity wall. Or the exotic skin tag of the grey armpit crevice.

Pink makes the boys wink Good morning beautiful people! The sun is shining and I've been up since 5am to test out some recipes and get some chores done because I'm so behind it's not even funnyI'm not very good at all that malarkey and often wait until it's so bad I can't stand the mess any longer Same with ironing… My pile almost hits the ceiling NO JOKE!!

If pink makes the boys wink, then I think it's safe to say that petals make the lads special, figs make the big blokes dig, miscellaneous red powder makes the crying louder, and purple makes the hurdles spurtle. Still, enjoy your flirtatious breakfast, Shakespeare.

You just know some dickhead from Neasden is lying under a Calippo umbrella, in Pukhet, getting this exact photos tattooed around his bellybutton right now.

I don't know if you've ever heard the phrase "gilding the lily" but sweet mother of sweating saccharine glucose attacks, what the hell is going on? When did actual doughnuts start being acceptable cake decorations? When did we start slicing Malteasers in half? When did birthday cake become a genuine mode of suicide?

Even though I know this is a delicious and filling breakfast, I can't help, somehow, feeling that I'm looking at one of those giant dinners made of sweets you buy from candy floss stalls at the end of the pier. Maybe it's to do with the shininess of the croissants, maybe it's something to do with the colour of the yolks. Maybe it's simply because I'd underestimated gherkins as a breakfast item until now.

You know what, you can do what you like with snot—it still looks like snot.

There are many things that Germany, particularly Bavaria, do incredibly well: woods, beer, semi-pornographic leather outfits, city parks, employment levels, drinking halls, salt, and flags to name just a few. But white, boiled sausages, full of egg white, served with cloying sweet mustard and colon-stopping white bread? No thank you, pals. No thank you very much.

If you think tiffin is another word for raisin-splattered, smashed up biscuits covered in chocolate then I'm afraid your money is no good here. This autumn, the only tiffin I'm interested in comes with urad dahl and a range of chutneys.
