foodstagram

Cuisine social sharing

Foodstagram blends food and Instagram to describe the practice of photographing meals for social media, or the resulting posts themselves.

Someone might say I need to foodstagram this before we eat or scroll through foodstagram content for restaurant recommendations.

The term captures how dining has become a visual, shareable experience, with people carefully arranging plates and lighting before taking a bite.
