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.

[-] jimmyjazx@kbin.social 5 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.

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 🥹

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

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 ;)

[-] Tastyzero@beehaw.org 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.

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

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!

[-] Tastyzero@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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!

Pizza with hollandaise sauce base instead of tomato sauce. My father almost disowned me for it.

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!!!

[-] Zelsabriel@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I'm not even sure I need to read the rest of the thread after this comment. You win by default! I guess it makes as much sense as anchovies on pizza though.

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

[-] szczur@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Also, mealworms. Fried ones. I bought them for my pet rats and ended up gorging on them sometimes.

A more general answer: Meals without meat.

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

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

[-] Spoodle@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Glaive0@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

Toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and bananas. - the cheese + bananas is what gets me looks.

Peanut butter + mayo + pickles on bread.

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

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.

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

[-] ffmike@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I eat prunes every morning myself. In my defense, I am one of those old people.

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

[-] milo_bytes@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] MingusKhan@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] DocSophie@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

A friend once turned me on to peanut butter and tuna sandwiches.

I... do not know why I thought that was good at one point, now that I think about it.

Ham sandamoni and cheesewich

Macaroni and cheese, plus shredded ham, plus mustard

It tastes incredible, but nobody else EVER wants to try it. Their loss!

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

Pesto on a bagel sounds good as h*ck tho

I’m one of the teeming dozens who like circus peanuts and necco wafers. I may, however, be the only one under fifty years old to do so.
