I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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!

Hello, I'm here to die on the hill that pineapple is a perfectly valid ingredient to put on a pizza, and would like to argue that any ingredient is valid to put on a pizza.

Americans just don't realize how sheltered their definition of pizza is. There are people out there committing food crimes you can't even imagine.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Put a tube of yogurt on pizza once. It actually wasnt all that bad lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

throw some bananas on there and I believe you have traditional Scandinavian pizza style.

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.

[โ€“] Classy 38 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is why she's an ex right

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago (3 children)

That and she couldn't keep her mouth off another guy's dick.

[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But mostly the chips thing, right?

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 6 days ago

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? ๐Ÿคฎ

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 40 points 6 days ago (7 children)

Raw flour is not recommended for direct consumption because it can actually carry foodborne illnesses. I suppose you could โ€œcookโ€ it in the oven with no other ingredients to have a similar experience but killing any potential pathogens.

I like dipping meat sticks, preferably Peperami (brand here), into fruit flavoured yoghurt sometimes.

I'll eat almost anything so there are plenty of examples but I'll pick one of my favorites: chicken hearts. They're tasty and have a satisfying springiness to them! Organ meats in general get unfairly hated upon, I feel.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

There was a Chinese place by me in NYC that had a chicken kidney stir fry that was incredible.

PB&H.

Peanut butter and honey instead of jelly.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

I still eat this. It's far superior IMO

Durian

And the more people hate it, the better for those who love it cause it keeps the quality up and costs lower.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago (7 children)

That's a very popular drink here in the Dominican Republic, probably in Puerto Rico and Cuba too, you have to know the trick so the milk and orange juice mix well tho. It's called "morir soรฑando" (which means "to die dreaming" in Spanish) look it up if you feel like to.

Personally, I don't think this is all that weird, but I like cold leftovers. My preferred breakfasts are things like cold pizza, cold mac and cheese, cold mashed potatoes, etc.

For some reason, my friends and family think it's gross and they always say things like "I don't know how you can eat that cold."

Pretty much everything. My partner thinks it's weird that I like to eat...

Pepperocinis, Baby corn, Pickled ginger, Any kind of olives (green, black, kalmata, oil-cured...), Cheese hotdogs, Hot sauce on soup, Hearts of Palm, Cincinnati-style chili,

I guess the curse of my German/Swedish heritage is, if you soak anything in brine and vinegar long enough, I'll probably eat it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago

I love dried shrimp. They smell very strong, are quite salty and I think full of cholesterol, but when I start a pack, it's difficult for me to stop eating

Biscuits and gravy...

Covered in raw onions, radishes, banana peppers, jalapenos, or any combination of the above. Try it. You'll like it. Just give them a moderate to fine chop first.

This is very much a regional food around here, but if youโ€™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 (Dukeโ€™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 donโ€™t know if itโ€™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. Iโ€™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 Iโ€™ve never quite figured out the logistics of cutting straight planks out of a curved banana.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (5 children)

You lost me at Mayonnaise. But just peanut butter and bananas is amazing.

Soylent original.

it's so plain. I love it. I could switch to it almost entirely. I could get fat on it.

Peanutbutter sandwiches with spicy, vinegar-based condiments instead of sweet ones. Mustard, cilantro chutney, peperoncini, that kind of thing. It's fantastic.

I eat chicken wings with the bones. The whole thing. And I love picking at the meat that is on the bone!

Give me a pork chop, T-bone steak, chicken thigh and Iโ€™ll gnaw at that bone like Iโ€™m a fully grown dog. Granted I donโ€™t do it in public, but I feel like leaving meat in the bone is a waste and itโ€™s sometimes tastier!

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.

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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Hawaii toast with mustard.

It goes toast (preferably whole grain) -> large heap of mustard -> ham -> pineapple -> salt -> gouda

I have only ever heard my mom eating it that way but have since co verted a few people.

Not me but on The German cannabis community (C/[email protected]) we recently had a post of someone eating yogurette (chocolate with fruits) with mustard while being high. It also included a rating of different mustard variations and how well they work for this.
