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!
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.
Raw flour is not recommended for direct consumption because it can actually carry foodborne illnesses. I suppose you could “cook” it in the oven with no other ingredients to have a similar experience but killing any potential pathogens.
But it tastes good :3
Yes, but cooking it at low heat can add a nice nutty flavor to it!
It really does. I’m one of those who like cookie dough more than actual cookies, especially when it comes to chocolate chip. Leave out eggs, add like a tablespoon more butter, and toast the flour beforehand, and you wind up with a truly excellent edible cookie dough. In my book, the nuttiness of the flour is makes it even better than regular dough.
I can relate, eating the whole apple is so efficient, even the wood thingy.
Nice! Do you have any particular favourite noodles or pasta shapes to eat?
No
Same for the apple! I also eat pears that way.
nails
Please elaborate
If they meant nails like fingernails I’m completely lost. But I used to with regular nails for the metal taste. I almost died as a kid because I used to suck on small nails and screws. Surprisingly that’s not what stopped me from sucking on them. It was because i unconsciously bit down one once and that shit hurt. Used to do coins too but when I found out what germs were and how many germs are on money I stopped immediately.
That is definitely why I asked 😅thanks!!
I cut my nails and chew it and spit it out later
Thank you! 🔨
I like dipping meat sticks, preferably Peperami (brand here), into fruit flavoured yoghurt sometimes.
Jail!
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.
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…
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 wins so far.
Tinned fish on toast — mackerel or sardines. Criminally underrated dish
I’d like to try that on a crunchy baguette.
Can’t go wrong with spiced Nuri’s
But that’s not weird at all!
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.
This is very much a regional food around here, but if you’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 (Duke’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 don’t know if it’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. I’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 I’ve never quite figured out the logistics of cutting straight planks out of a curved banana.
You lost me at Mayonnaise. But just peanut butter and bananas is amazing.
That’s where we always lose people. It’s actually good! It works!
After trying it, I get why its liked, but its not for me not gross, so if i wad randomly offered one i would eat it still.
You know what I’m going to take a chance on it, I’ll report back later.
It won’t be anytime soon, but I promise to try this. And if I remember maybe I’ll update.
I’m impressed at your willingness to try; almost no one does. I hope you like it!
Does Duke’s mayonnaise taste of mustard or is it bland fluffy oil like other American mayonnaises?
No mustard… Just regular bland fluffy oily stuff. But different brands of mayo are weirdly different, and some have cult followings.
I could get down with this.
I love banana + PB + bacon + honey.
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.
PB&H.
Peanut butter and honey instead of jelly.
I still eat this. It’s far superior IMO
On caraway seeded rye
Honey on a toasted rye is great.
I used to have this as a kid, but with very thinly sliced apples in there as well. Damn now I kind of want one.
This is some serious gourmet shit
Hell yeah, my dad used to send me to school with PB&H on that uranium yellow potato bread.
Totally did this as a kid. Also peanut butter and maple syrup.
Haven’t tried that, but it sounds like it might be worth a bite.
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.
Mustard with Poutine. That stuff is amazing
I’m sorry…mustard with poutine, or poutine with mustard.
The way it’s written it looks like mustard in the main item and you add a bit of poutine to it.
Mine is an ‘everything’ poutine … it depends on who makes it and where you get it … but up in some northern Ontario towns and highway places its usually a base of fries topped with fried onions, fried peppers, corn, peas, cooked diced carrots, hot peppers, jalapenos, ground beef, bacon bits, ground sausage, fried steak strips, pulled pork, two or three types of cheese and cheese curd smoothered with lots of hot gravy. If the place is good and generous, they layer it by placing a few fries, then the toppings … the repeating it one or two more times.
That actually sounds pretty good!
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.
Put a tube of yogurt on pizza once. It actually wasnt all that bad lol
throw some bananas on there and I believe you have traditional Scandinavian pizza style.
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…
Slight cartilaginous crunch?
Yeah, crunchy in spots. Also at one point I bit into a little sack of liquid that kind of popped in my mouth.
I’m picturing something like eating the bones at the end of poultry wings. It sounds eatable.
I want some roast flavoured eggs now :c
The flavor is very good!
This is something I’d try if I had the occasion.
PB&J with mint jelly. For some reason people find the mint really weird
Is this like mint sauce you’d put on lamb? Peanut butter is allergy death, but mint and strawberry interests me!
They jelly can absolutely be made into a mint sauce for lamb, or just slathered on as is too. But more or less yes, I enjoy the mint flavor with the peanutbutter a bunch! It also tends to be a less sweet jelly than store bought strawberry or grape. Those are sickeningly sweet
Interesting… I am very intrigued by this, and will keep an eye out for it!
Salt and Vinegar Chips
Britain’s favourite crisp flavour. Here, you’re weird for not liking them.
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.
There was a Chinese place by me in NYC that had a chicken kidney stir fry that was incredible.
Boiled peanuts!
Now that’s the first time I’ve ever heard about eating peanuts boiled!
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.
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.
Super common in Vietnam. And from I’ve learned from Stephen Colbert also common in the south.
Oh how I love boiled peanuts. I eat the shells too.
