I don’t think I’ve made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃
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!
Spinach (like the ground, frozen version) is the perfect sauce for pasta, rice and fries.
Tinned fish on toast — mackerel or sardines. Criminally underrated dish
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.
gasp that’s a wonderful idea! I should try that.
Peanut butter and hot dogs
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?!?!?!!
Like… Together? In the same dish?!
Apparently Rally’s/Checker’s fries with honey mustard 🤷♂️ I don’t like those seasoned fries by themselves, but they’re bomb af with honey mustard. But they don’t seem to carry honey mustard anymore at the location closest to me :/
I love jack in the box curly fries with their taco sauce.
Ass.
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.
Maple onion rings sounds good
Leather.
Frozen gummi bears.
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.
Kinda similar, I’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?
This is why she’s an ex right
That and she couldn’t keep her mouth off another guy’s dick.
But mostly the chips thing, right?
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? 🤮
Honestly doesn’t sound like a good time, don’t think the ketchup would be enough to save his dick from the chips in her mouth.
If I could upvote this 50 times…
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.
Peanutbutter sandwiches with spicy, vinegar-based condiments instead of sweet ones. Mustard, cilantro chutney, peperoncini, that kind of thing. It’s fantastic.
One that I like is toasted peanut butter sandwiches with an onion slice in the middle. And dipped in tomato soup is so delicious.
I can see that. I like pb and cheese and I think some banana peppers would kick it up a notch
I can kind of see it.
Boiled peanuts!
Now you probably mean this in the American way, but omfg boiled masala peanut salad??? I could eat that shit for days and never get sick of it
I do mean it in an American way but also boiled peanuts masala salad sounds right the fuck up my alley.
If you ever get the chance, do try it. It’s an incredibly refreshing and pleasant dish
Now that’s the first time I’ve ever heard about eating peanuts boiled!
I’ve had them in Nigeria where you basically just boil them peeled in salt water and then mix into freshly boiled rice and eat it with some type of beef stew as a main course, and in China where you boil them with their shell in a mixture of water with black tea leaves, dried chillies, Sichuan peppers and salt, then let them cool down and eat as a snack.
It is a big thing in the southern US. They’re really tasty.
Yes, they are super tasty! My parents grew up in the state of Georgia. But I moved to California as an adult and no one here has even heard of them. I get strange looks when I make them (homemade is best!) but I force people to try them and I’ve never had a single person or walk away impressed.
Balut
Just kidding, don’t Google that
I’ve had it. The flavor was very good - like imagine a hard boiled egg that tastes like roast duck - but the texture, eeehhhh…
Couple weeks ago my friend brought a balut into a bar and did a balut bomb (cracking it into a pint of beer and chugging/swallowing it)
We all almost puked
I like dipping meat sticks, preferably Peperami (brand here), into fruit flavoured yoghurt sometimes.
Jail!
Upvote because I cannot process this.
It makes the meat taste a bit fruity with a milky note to it. It’s basically a poor man’s milk steak.
The fruity flavor is like a side of the finest jelly beans.
If you were to cut a hole in your skull and press your finger into your brain in just the right spot, you can probably convince yourself this is just a really creative take on meat, cheese, and fruit charcuterie…
Ill take your word for it
I have always gnawed on raw pasta, too. Love it. People always think its weird that I eat the leaves with my strawberries.
I love raw pasta. I like to give it a little nibble. I mostly love raw doughs. Pie and biscuit are my favorite
