I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I'll go first...I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I've had ever since I've had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven't damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

The last time I had sushi from Wegman's, I had it with ranch dressing. It's good.

Blue cheese crumbles in ramen or pumpkin soup. Soft blue cheese on a water cracker, topped with a drizzle of spicy honey. Maybe not super weird, but a lot of people just don't like blue cheese to begin with.

Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

It's the second greatest sandwich ever.

Frozen corn, by the handful..

This one might be a little different.

I eat only once a day, but it's a big one, right before bed.
When I order takeout from... say my favorite burger place in town, usually a double cheeseburger, I ask that they apply no mayo, mustard nor ketchup, as I will reheat it all on the air fryer/toaster oven then apply condiments, don't want the bread to be getting soggy for hours before dinner.

I also tell them to put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side, for the same reason. I bring my own reusable containers for the separate things, to create no plastic/styrofoam waste. That includes tiny ones for the dressing and for the runny cheese for the fries.

Which reminds me of the fries - back home, hours later, I will refry them for a minute or two, they come out almost as good as new.

But this all being home, I can also play around with the burger. Such as stuffing it with a full onion, thinly sliced and caramelized on low heat with olive oil, pepper and a dash of Lawry's seasoned salt. Maybe also sliced mushrooms sautรฉed in butter. I'll also add a few extra slices of yellow heirloom tomato.

One last thing: while the onions are caramelizing on the toaster oven, I'll also put another tray with a handful of asparagus in olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.

Like a friend described it, I like tuning the burger!
As in "car tuning", custom burger mods.

Peanut butter and onion sandwiches.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Toast or peanut butter sandwich dipped in milk.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Spinach (like the ground, frozen version) is the perfect sauce for pasta, rice and fries.

Tinned fish on toast โ€” mackerel or sardines. Criminally underrated dish

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

I'd like to try that on a crunchy baguette.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Fully agree, ideally sardines in oil or mackerel in tomato sauce with peas (not sure the latter is a thing outside of northern Europe?).

Toast needs a health layer of butter to keep the sauce from mushing it up as well.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

gasp that's a wonderful idea! I should try that.

Peanut butter and hot dogs

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You can't just stop there and not elaborate. Do you put the hot dog in a bun then spread just peanut butter on it and nothing else?!?!?!!

Dipping the sausage directly in the jar, it's low carb เฒ โ _โ เฒ

Like... Together? In the same dish?!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I have 2.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Best served on the lowest tier white bread you can find.

The second is onion rings and maple syrup. I wish someone would do maple battered onion rings because those would definitely be delicious.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Back when Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan had their podcast they would always do a segment where theyโ€™d try different foods and had a guest on whoโ€™s favorite thing was peanut butter and pickle sandwiches (forget who the guest was). Gotta admit it made me curious because they both liked it too but I wanna know the specific brand of pickles, peanut butter, and bread to get to have the proper experience.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Maple onion rings sounds good

Not me, but an ex-girlfriend. She would fill a bowl with potato chips (crisps to you Brits) and then pour ketchup all over and eat it like a bowl of cereal with a spoon.

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

This is why she's an ex right

[โ€“] [email protected] 13 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

That and she couldn't keep her mouth off another guy's dick.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

But mostly the chips thing, right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

Look, there are some things I can overlook in a relationship.

But eating a bag of lays with half a bottle of heinz ketchup poured on it? WITH A SPOON? ๐Ÿคฎ

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Honestly doesnโ€™t sound like a good time, donโ€™t think the ketchup would be enough to save his dick from the chips in her mouth.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

If I could upvote this 50 times...

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Kinda similar, Iโ€™ll finish off the shrapnel from a bag of corn chips with a spoonful or two of salsa in the salsa bowl. Spicy cereal, I guess?

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago

Frozen gummi bears.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Peanutbutter sandwiches with spicy, vinegar-based condiments instead of sweet ones. Mustard, cilantro chutney, peperoncini, that kind of thing. It's fantastic.

Shrimp heads, especially when they've been deep fried. So much flavor, and nice and crunchy. Fried fish fins are similar in this regard. Oh and fish eyeballs - my wife thought I was nuts until I got her to try it, now she really enjoys them.

Super common in Vietnam. And from Iโ€™ve learned from Stephen Colbert also common in the south.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I do mean it in an American way but also boiled peanuts masala salad sounds right the fuck up my alley.

I like dipping meat sticks, preferably Peperami (brand here), into fruit flavoured yoghurt sometimes.
