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?

Another delicious hit - chocolate sandwiches!

Two slices of white bread, fill sandwich generously with hot chocolate mix. Deliciously dry and chocolatey.

Lutefisk. Served with heavy cream and melted butter. And Potato Klub as a side.

I leave it the reader to google it - if they dare.

Germany has brands of bottled curry sauce that are great on white rice.

I've never seen them in the US... but mayonnaise and curry powder is close enough.

Ranch noodles, though, I've served to guests all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. You squirt ranch dressing all over fresh elbow / corkscrew pasta, and ideally cool overnight. It's two-ingredient pasta salad. Ranch is buttermilk, garlic, dill, and a bunch of other spices. Great as a side. Add pepper.

I blend 2 eggs with a banana, and I fry it as if it's a pancake, with butter. It doesn't hold together, so it keeps coming out as if it's weird scrambled eggs. But it's delicious, the healthiest kind of pancake (with a drop of raw honey afterwards).

Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.

Your dish is called a jacket potato if I understand you right. What I like to do is boil rice then mix it with peanut butter and sriracha and just eat that like it is.

Sliced tomatoes, raw chikory, hard boiled egg with home made mayo.

Garlic butter spread over bread (alentejano bread has a tiny bit of olive oil and it's preferred but it's the bread that's at hand, white form toast bread usually), toasted with filling of green olives, mushroom, dried tomato and peanut butter.

It's all preserved stuff so it's back up when you don't have fresh things and the sweet of the peanut butter ties in with the olives quite nicely, I only like black oxidated olives otherwise.

Raw tagliatelle. I love picking it apart and eating it, it has a satisfying crunch, especially when pieces directly overlap, but I'd be silly to just up and serve a plate of raw tagliatelle to someone ๐Ÿ˜‚

Grits with canned tuna.

Grits with chili paste, fried egg, pork fu.

Sandwich of sardines and mayonnaise and raw onion.

OP, my sweet potato lunch is a Stokes Purple one frozen then baked, topped with goat cheese, pepitas, olive oil and fancy salt. I don't even like sweet potatoes but like that there's enough salty/sharp stuff

Those sweet potatoes are close to Grandma Appalachia's traditional preparation that she got from a recipe her Irish aunt tore out of a magazine back in the 70s, but hers included a hoppy beer to balance the hot sauce

Sometimes I slice some red Leicester cheese on a small plate and microwave it for around 30 seconds, until it melts. Then I eat it with a teaspoon. I first had it when I was desperately hungry but that cheese was literally the only food I had in, and I liked it enough I did it again. (Red Leicester cheese is like cheddar, but it tends to have a distinctly nutty flavour to it).

I used to have chives growing on the windowsill and it always tickled me to sprinkle some chopped chives over the cheese puddle, because a chive garnish feels very fancy but this "meal" was incredibly trashy.
