I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

Shredded cheese crisped up in a skillet.

According to my ex, who politely asked me to stop doing that, it makes the entire house smell like particularly foul body odor.

I know, for fact, that's delicious. Mmmmmmm.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nah that's delicious. Ex made "keto nachos"- pork rinds and cheese in toaster oven, now that smells nasty

Sometimes I put a tiny bit of mustard on an Oreo to have a sweet and tangy snack.

Bean dip on pizza. It sounds super weird, and it is, but it's also delicious 🤤

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

This sounds like the bean base for a taco pizza. Not sure how wide spread it is, but where i am from in the Midwest it is pretty popular. Pizza Hut has a Taco Bean and a Taco Beef Pizza. Add cheddar cheese, pop it in the oven, after it's done baking, add lettuce, more cheddar cheese, tomatoes, chushed up Doritos, and some sour cream. So good.

My favourite pizza topping is pepperoni and flaked tuna, the good stuff too so it's meaty oily tuna.

Love it but so many people think I'm odd for it. The meaty flavours compliment each other!!!

My friend recommended eating kiwis with the skin on. It takes a second to get used to the fuzzy skin, but they are SOOOO much easier to eat! Plus you get some extra fiber ;)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I love the pop texture of with them skin on. And it is gives a nice bitter light note to the sweet fruit.

My partner thinks it’s disgusting and my biggest red flag: I make peanut butter sandwiches on white bread and dip them in ranch dressing 😩 the reason I do this is because of growing up a millennial in NKY where a weekly lunch option was a bowl of chili, served with a peanut butter sandwich, and carrot sticks w a side of ranch….I hate raw carrots, always have lmao but I love all the other items….one day I was staring at the sad unused ranch and thinking as I was already keen to dipping the PB sandwich in the chili, that maybe it would be as good as the PB in chili so I tried it and I’ve just done it and liked a PB sandwich dipped in ranch ever since 😓 my partner has even tried it for me and hated it 🤷🏼‍♀️ at least they loved me enough to try it 🥹

I some time thaw frozen dumplings in the fridge, and then eat them cold on hot days.

I love making steamed artichokes stuffed with pecorino cheese, garlic and bread crumbs. A recipe from my grandmother.

Peanut butter + mayo + pickles on bread.

It's apparently a Depression era recipe, but I crave it once every two months or so

Are you continuously pregnant?

My wife introduced me to Tuna mixed with Mac & Cheese, and now I totally enjoy it myself, other people have found it a little strange.

Brewed tea leaves, think they're the best part. There's a good number that are terrible (the cheap CTC blacks especially) but think most green teas and floral oolongs are great.

Weird to brew a cup of tea and then eat the leaves but there's also some legit recipes with tea leaves. Burmese tea leaf salad and longjing shrimp are two. There's also matcha.

Raw garlic, just once in a while, as a little treat. Sometimes I’ll mash it up in some bread but most often… plain, raw garlic.

I have also not met a single thing I won’t try to pickle at least once, and for some reason people around me think that it is Terrifying hahaha. Personally, I find pickling to be a fantastic way to rescue produce that’s otherwise about to go off. Instead of making food waste, I’m making delicious snacks and toppings. Pickle everything!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Pickle everything! I've come up with some pretty interesting pickles, and also ferments. Worst outcome is food that was going to go bad is bad. Best outcome is delicious surprise!

I'm assuming you've had pickled garlic, then? I just picked up 2 jars of it recently. I have to stop myself from eating too much sometimes. Raw garlic is great for me when I have a bad cold and need to clear out my sinuses.

A more general answer: Meals without meat.

For some reason this really confuses people, and often makes them concerned or upset.

I eat prunes daily. some people think it's a laxative for old people. sure, there's fiber in them and fiber helps you stay regular but just the same as eating most fruit. prunes are just dried plums and they're delicious

Lobsters and crabs are essentially overgrown bugs that live in water. At one point they were only fed to prisoners.

During a time where I would eat really utilitarian for lunch, this meal was my daily go to:

-half a can of skipjack tuna

-some amount of chopped cabbage

-steamer bag carrots and peas

-rice seasoning from the local Asian market (I don't know which one it's just labelled "rice seasoning")

-hot sauce

I try to not eat like a serial killer anymore

Toasted Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cheez whiz. Everyone in my family loves it. You will too. 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (9 children)

I actually consume kiwis without peeling them, because I find it much more tasteful.

Taco chips with peanut butter.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Probably the most tame one in here, but I love to mix mayo with a little mustard to dip my french fries in. Baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, and malt vinegar are also really good.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Cracker, sardine, tomato, cottage cheese, ground black pepper *chef’s kiss. The perfect snack.

Peanut butter and jelly (aka jam) with white sandwich bread with a generous amount of Doritos or cheez-its in it. One of my favorite meals!

Toasted sandwich bread with tomato slices, salt, and mayo. I could die just thinking about them. Add corn on the cob as a side.

A slice of sandwich bread with mustard, American cheese, and onion. Stick in the broiler to melt thecl cheese and brown the bread, and serve. RIP grandma.

I enjoy ginger beer and will try to cut it into random other alcoholic beverages like red wine.

Also being English and not liking English breakfasts.

This may sound weird, but I like eating sour cream with a spoon sometimes
