Ask Lemmy

I have always gnawed on raw pasta, too. Love it. People always think its weird that I eat the leaves with my strawberries.

Balut

Just kidding, don't Google that

Two slices of toast, one with butter one with grape jelly. Slice a boiled egg, put the egg slices on the toast, give it a little bit of salt, complete assembly and boom, my breakfast egg sandwich.

It's really good and I don't understand why people are so weirded out by it. Eating a boiled egg and some toast with butter and jelly is fine for breakfast, but! Put them together as a sandwich and now I'm the weirdo.

uncooked pasta, uncooked noodles, flour, sugar, whole apple (with seeds and that wood thingy on apple), nails (not eat but chew and spit out), coffee beans. There might be more but can't think of right now.

The tip of the fried chicken wing alongside with the bone. So crunchy.

This is very much a regional food around here, but if you’re not from here, with previous generations from here, it will seem like a strange food: the banana sandwich. This is peanut butter, banana, and mayonnaise (Duke’s Mayonnaise for any proper Southerner). People are generally on board until you mention the mayonnaise. I get that it sounds weird but is actually really good.

I hear it called a Southern thing but don’t know if it’s just a North Carolina thing or extends farther across the South. It is definitely a thing, though. I remember years ago one of the larger news outlets posted a question on their Facebook page, asking if people sliced their banana into planks or circles for their sandwiches and it got hundreds of comments in response with people arguing for one option or the other. I’ve always been a circle person myself. I can see a theoretical appeal for planks in having less open space but am so used to circles that I’ve never quite figured out the logistics of cutting straight planks out of a curved banana.

White cheddar macaroni and steamed green peas mixed together, particularly with fish sticks

Milk mixed with orange juice looks terrible but tastes like an orange creamsicle.

I give my kiwis a good rinse and sorta "scrub" their skin (is it called a peel on kiwis?)with my palms before I bite into them skin and all like am apple. I have had more than one person audibly gasp and ask me what the hell I'm doing when they see me eating kiwis that way.

The spoon and digging as a kid was fun, but as an adult the time lost to cutting and spooning kiwi flesh from its skin just isn't worth it. And if a kiwi is properly ripe anyway the bitter skin actually contrasts the sweet fleshy insides quite nicely.

Cardboard sometimes

Mustard with Poutine. That stuff is amazing

Dry sandwiches. I don't like most condiments on anything that I eat cuz I think it ruins the flavor. Most condiments are overpowering and just make food taste like condiments. Don't put them on anything. Not hotdogs, burgers, or sandwiches. The only exception I make is hot sauce.

There is a cheese in my country- olomoucké tvarůžky, which is in itself acquired taste.

But I made "Loštický zázrak" which is this cheese pickled in beer, as a homebrewer I used half fermented beer. So smelly cheese fermented with beer.

You can smell this concoction in whole house when the jar was opened, but the taste was amazing.

I haven't had this since I was a kid, but I used to take two pieces of toast, put Nutella on one slice, and margarine and Vegemite on the other… and then sandwich them together and chow down. Sweet and savory and umami all at the same time. Don't know if I would do that these days, though.

I've never met anyone IRL who understands how good a peanutbutter and nutella sandwich is.
