As we all know from our favorite food bloggers and scrolling through the #foodie hashtag, posting photos of our food can put us in a silly, silly mood.

When it comes to adding titles to food photos, it can feel a lot like adding spice to a meal. Should you tell a witty joke or stick to something short and sweet?
