I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?
Y’all are horrifying. That’s all I came here to say.
I take pride in that remark.
I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.
Then you’re ready to try all the suggestions here!
And here I am, bookmarking this post… I have meals planned for the next 3 weeks!
I keep a bouquet of dry pasta on my desk that I absentmindedly munch on while I work.
Sometimes I’ll eat a whole head of cabbage over a day peeling it leaf by leaf.
Are you a field mouse?
My brother and I used to eat raw spaghetti from the box as kids. Idk why, we just liked the crunch and the taste lol.
…i used to do that until i discovered weevils in my spaghetti in college…
…🤢
Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.
Sounds like something I’d pay 16$ to have served by a malnourished hipster on a cutting board to a table lit by a bar bulb as an appetizer.
This sounded really good… until the maple syrup thing. Why? Why?!
Don’t get me wrong. Maple syrup is great. On pancakes or so, but this? This truly is an abomination.
Cause there’s nothing quite like the combination of savoury, salty, spicy and sweet.
Other favorites of mine are chocolate chili, and my famous habanero honey salad dressing.I get that mixing thing, although it’s virtually non-existent in my country’s cuisine. But still, this one doesn’t feel right at all.
Try some sweet jam on a sharp cheese. It’s such a good blend. Some people mix mustard and jelly but I think you can skip that for blue cheese.
Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I’m feeling fancy/not lazy I’ll add some chopped shallots or scallions.
my special treat that my partner hates for me to make but gobbles up bowls of: White Rice, Ground Beef, and Cream of Mushroom soup (campbells can). White rice like you like it, Ground the beef and salt generously after draining grease (helps the beef pop out more in the taste), then I usually do half of the milk called for with the soup.
Bed of RIce in a bowl, ground beef on top, then pour the cream of mushroom soup on it. Such a warm and crazy good taste but I get looks whenever I bring it up so I don’t make it that often unless it’s just me for a few days.
It sounds like a barebones beef stroganoff
That does sound really good and sort of appropriate, like a curried beef or something. Idk why anybody gives you a look lol it’s a protein in sauce served over rice, what’s even weird about it?
I think it’s a combination of things, like I’m making ground beef so your mind goes taco but you’re getting a soupy bowl. Also, cream of mushroom soup is just one of those weird soups that doesn’t look or sound good on most people’s radar (see it mostly by itself or with a chicken recipe) but always kicks off a casserole or dish the right way. Then I bust out the rice and the confusion just sets in till they realize I’m already done lol.
…sounds like that’d hit the spot for sure…
I used to eat this all the time, but with instant mash. It looks like vomit, but it is delicious. ❤️
omg, I want to judge but now I’m gonna have to try it.
I already have yours on my next shopping list 😁
I bake a mean creamy chicken (like you’d find in a pot pie) but, for whatever fucking reason, I absolutely love that flavor spliced with white vinegar. I have a deep love of pushing tangy sour to the border of spiciness.
A strong acidic zing is missing from a lot of dishes.
Generally I keep white vinegar around specifically for its chemical properties rather than its flavor, though.
Ever try it with malt vinegar?
Yup, that’s also pretty good! I think it pairs better with white vinegar though.
I’ve seen that flavor profile referred to as “squirrel gravy.”
When I’m home alone, I’ll sometimes revert to my “first apartment” mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautéed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.
Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn’t serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.
This sounds like Guy Fieri got super high and wanted chef boyardee.
Id eat it.
Try it :)
Would.
…sometimes i do likewise, but for me it’s either totino’s cheese pizza with morningstar spicy black bean burger on top, or a box of uncle ben’s long-grain-and-wild-rice mixed with kraft italian cheese blend and morningstar chik patties baked like a casserole…
I haven’t had this in a while but one if my lazy bachelor meals was baked potatoes with kim chee and sour cream.
I’d eat that.
There’s a banked potato spot in my city that sells just baked potatoes with like 50 variations on the menu. You can get a baked potato topped with anything from chilly to brisket, vegetables, etc
I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.
Sorry dude, that room is the kitchen.
Sandwiches with potato chips between them
That’s not weird. Chips, fries, or tots can/should be in the sandwich.
That is amazing.
Pretty much the go to UK sandwich
Add some marmite in there and you have a meal fit for
a kinga dukea very small earleating.
Earlier this week I had curry on nacho chips because I made some really good curry and did not have the energy to make the actual nacho accoutrements that I had planned on doing
It was great
That sounds baller and something you’d find in Texas hill country.
I live in Scotland so, uhh… guess we’ve got the hills and a general attitude towards the bigger country we’re a part of? Not a lot else in common, but still
Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It’s like Indian poutine. Amazing.
Have you tried palak paneer pizza? It might be a Baltimore thing. So good.
That is relevant to my interests. I’ll have to pay a visit to Baltimore.
Just tried a new Indian place near me that has masala fries and poutine on the menu
Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Rice with ketchup
Ketchup with ketchup
I love ketchup
You love tomato flavored sugar
Hey, be fair…
It’s also got a texture that’s different from sugar!
Guilty as charged
Try filipino ketchup. Its made with banana apparently, i would never have known
That sounds amazing but alas, bananas and plantains make my stomach hurt, so I avoid anything related.
Ahh that sucks, sorry to hear!
From one ketchup connoisseur to another, I started with and continue to eat crackers, cheese, and ketchup. Saltine crackers, like the crappy soup kind (don’t get anything fancy), Cheddar cheese (mild works but sharp is a better hit), and then whatever ketchup but I tend to do heinz or store brands since it tends to have more of a vinegary taste.
I grew up with pasta and ketchup at home.
It was my favourite dish.…i despise ketchup but i still love five way…
Add ground beef and worcestershire
Cold baked beans straight from the tin, eaten with a spoon. I’m grinning thinking of my dinner guests’ faces as they contemplate their tins.
Corned beef hash right out of the can is alarmingly close to dog food.
And better than it has any right to be.
Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.
I cook it when I’m in a rush or tired, it’s done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.
But I would never feed it to anybody else, it’s lazy bro/fitness food lol.
I roast seasoned chickpeas for snacking like that. I’ll top pan fried chickpeas with leftover rice and carrot then let those steam up with the lid on. It helps contain popping beans too lol
Dang, that sounds good, I’ll have to try that lol.
It sounds pretty good actually
I mean, I like it lol, but I love chickpeas, I would almost eat them raw from the can.
If you’re eating them that regularly, it may be worth the savings to buy them dry, and soak overnight before cooking them. I dunno. It is worth it for me.
I buy them in bulk by the can at a pretty good price already, but I’ll look into that, thanks!
They are good just drizzled in Ranch dressing. LOL
Sounds like a pretty good snack to eat in front of the TV.
I knew someone who would eat a tomato for dinner with a few slices of carrots. Nothing baked, just a plain uncut tomato and slices of carrots.
I’m talking a functionnal human being, knowing the concept of cooking and the ability to walk to their kitchen with such a “dish” as they would call it. Not vegetarian either. They did like meat and whatnot. Saddest “meal” I’ve ever had the horror to lay my eyes upon.
the carrots get sliced but the tomatoes is left whole???
Don’t ask me why. Even I was speechless.
You can just bite into it, you know. More fun to eat it that way imo
yeah but same with carrots. its the fact they went through the effort to slice the carrot but not the tomato.
I guess so. If they’re going to do one I would’ve imagine it would’ve been the tomato, true
I don’t care much about the what but the how. Biting into a whole tomato WILL make a mess. Simply cutting it in half greatly reduces the chance of that. If they already had a knife why not use it on the tomato. People are weird.
I’m a whole tomato-eater, and there is a way to eat them without being messy. The mess is divided into chambers, and you basically go one chamber at a time, suck out the mess in the chamber and then move on to the next.
…i can only eat firm roma tomatoes: gooshy tomatoes wig me out, always have…
The whole thing was so surreal that I never bothered to ask about it.
I was thinking that too, but maybe it was one of those hard, white-on-the-inside, unripe tomatoes.
If you are on a diet, this meal has very few kilojoules/calories. Fewer than a single slice of bread.
Wasn’t on a diet. Thankfully, they ate more during lunch and didn’t have any health issues due to eating weirdly but those “meals” were something else…
Honestly, can relate! Had a month-long period when all I craved were carrot and white onion salads with a tiny pinch of salt, a load of ground black pepper, and drowned in vinegar. Used to chop the carrots down into tiny strips.
In your case, you added something, it was a salad with pepper and salt during a time where you were craving something in particular.
What was crazy to me about the story I told was the poor tomato and carrots were unseasoned, bland, resting in the saddest plate I’ve yet to encounter, while the person eating it was considering what was in front of them a meal.
(Not sure why someone would downvote you for your comment by the way)
Ooh, I get it now! Yeah, that sounds unnecessarily spartan. Although healthy, I guess?
Sorry, focused more on the components than the context…
Indeed quite something…
Also, no need to be sorry, you did nothing wrong.
