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!

Pickled herring and liver pate

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Upvote because I cannot process this.

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.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is why she's an ex right

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But mostly the chips thing, right?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 week 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? 🤮

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week 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 soñando" (which means "to die dreaming" in Spanish) look it up if you feel like to.

Tinned fish on toast — mackerel or sardines. Criminally underrated dish

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.

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

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.

I give my kiwis a good rinse and sorta "scrub" their skin (is it called a peel on kiwis?)with my palms before I bite into them skin and all like am apple. I have had more than one person audibly gasp and ask me what the hell I'm doing when they see me eating kiwis that way.

The spoon and digging as a kid was fun, but as an adult the time lost to cutting and spooning kiwi flesh from its skin just isn't worth it. And if a kiwi is properly ripe anyway the bitter skin actually contrasts the sweet fleshy insides quite nicely.

There is a cheese in my country- olomoucké tvarůžky, which is in itself acquired taste.

But I made "Loštický zázrak" which is this cheese pickled in beer, as a homebrewer I used half fermented beer. So smelly cheese fermented with beer.

You can smell this concoction in whole house when the jar was opened, but the taste was amazing.

I've never met anyone IRL who understands how good a peanutbutter and nutella sandwich is.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

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

Beetroot juice and beetroot based dishes, pikled lemons and other citrus fruits, sweet meat.

I like to experiment with food in general, try some old recipes like before american vegetables old.
