Pop-sicle, Poppacorn, Kentucky Fried Dadface, Sticky Toffee Papa, Father o' Fish, The Codfather: whatever you call the father figure in your life, chances are he's eaten some fine food in his time.
So let's raise a glass of real ale and a hunk of stinking cheese to the man who gave you eyebrows and a possible inherited cholesterol problem. Here is the best in dad-favourite food pics uploaded to Instagram this week

This is what happens when you search 'chicken legs' on Instagram. Hot diggety dad ham, my eyes. My poor sweet eyes.

Dads love carbs. They consider flour a vegetable and cheese pure muscle power. Despite the fact that they haven't actually lifted anything heavier than a sandwich since about 1982 and only ever wear sports shorts to go to the recycling centre.

According to Genesis, us gals were made out of Original Daddy Adam's rib, so what better way to celebrate the man who also blew life into your nostrils than with a full side of meat and bones?

This is pretty much "dad romance" in a single picture. No wonder that guy managed to reproduce. I mean, just look at his moves.

We have come a long, long way from hunks of antelope grilled on an open fire, lit by a stray fork of lightning, in the mouth of a redstone cave. But don't tell that to you father—a man can only take so much reality in one lifetime.

Before he became a father, this is literally what your father considered a wholesome meal. Hell, he probably still does. Good on you, Dad. You and your pickled, mustard ways.

Unless your father is actually sitting his GCSEs (in which case, well done on the multi-tasking, pa) I'm not sure why you're making him a packed lunch. But this is undeniably adorable and I'm sure it'll make him weep like an onion farmer at a Toy Story double bill.

I don't know if your father actually is a detective from a 1970s cop drama, but in his head he almost certainly is the kind of guy to kick open a door, flash a badge, and shout "OK you suckers, party's over—put your hands in the air and no funny business" without messing his moustache, or the ironed crease down the front of his flares a single inch.

Celebrate your innate masculinity and sheer fertility this year with a super hot curry, a tall glass of milk, and a piece of bread the exact size and consistency of a bike saddle.

I don't know who the guy in all those childhood snaps is or anything, because my real dad is Sylvester Stallone and this year we'll be celebrating with a special dinner at Adrian's. My treat.
