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?
My so called broccoli-potato-gratin with pork neck includes quite an amount of cream, salt, bouillion cubes and cheese. My wife doesn’t know and it will stay that way.
…that sounds delicious and i’ve been vegetarian for thirty-five years!..
Refried beans, rice, sirachcha, and too much mayo. Sometimes I eat it with bread like a sad sack sandwich.
Throw a potato in whatever form you want and roll that up in flatbread. I’d eat that in a heartbeat.
Earlier this week I had curry on nacho chips because I made some really good curry and didnot have the energy to make the actual nacho accoutrements that I had planned on doing
It was really good
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
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
Had me until the yeast.
Liver and ground beef in a skillet.
Easy post workout meal, easy to clean, only minutes to cook.
Nobody I know would eat liver
The flavor’s alright, but the texture is awful.
I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.
Sorry dude, that room is the kitchen.
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.
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.
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…
the carrots get sliced but the tomatoes is left whole???
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.
Don’t ask me why. Even I was speechless.
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.
rice and lentils. Bit to mundane for company.
Add a spicy condiment to that and that sounds great!
I love rice and lentils. How do you cook/season your lentils?
I don’t really have a typical. will add veggies on hand and im not very good with seasonings so I tend to use mixes so I have like a mexican blend and indian blend and such.
…delicious staple, love it with spinach leaves and coarse-chopped roma tomatoes on top…
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?
Weird, but I also kind of want dry spaghetti now.
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…
…🤢
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.
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.
Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.
Does your breath clear out a whole theater after eating that?
And at night you can visit the monster world under your bed to play with Maurice and Boy.
Dude I thought I was the only one who remembers little monsters
Fred Savage was in everything…
Yeah he was.
I have Little Monsters to thank for introducing me to Talking Heads. I hear Road to Nowhere and I’m 10 again.
Mustard bread. I’m dead serious.
I used to do this as a kid, and would add cheese to make it a “sandwich”.
Hate me if you will, but any source of protein on a slice of bread is a sammich to me!
Also, most definitely works, especially with some of the smoked cheeses which are common in our area!
Dammit! Could’ve been a commercial star in the 80s had I been born in the 80s and, like… a different country…
My oldest brother used to put mustard on toast
Ooh, that’s the fancy kind, I’m generally too lazy to wait for toast.
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
I don’t even like sweet potatoes but like that there’s enough salty/sharp stuff
I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don’t understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It’s already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.
What are grits made of? I’ve never seen them in 40 years but hear about them
Hominy. It’s corn treated with lye, “nixtamalized” so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.
Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.
Grits can be white or yellow corn.
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 😂
