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

Who tf thinks salt and vinegar, which is objectively the best chip, is weird?

The only thing I don't like about eating them is they have a tendency of eating back

Britain's favourite crisp flavour. Here, you're weird for not liking them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

PB&J with mint jelly. For some reason people find the mint really weird

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."

This one might be a little different.

I eat only once a day, but it's a big one, right before bed.
When I order takeout from... say my favorite burger place in town, usually a double cheeseburger, I ask that they apply no mayo, mustard nor ketchup, as I will reheat it all on the air fryer/toaster oven then apply condiments, don't want the bread to be getting soggy for hours before dinner.

I also tell them to put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side, for the same reason. I bring my own reusable containers for the separate things, to create no plastic/styrofoam waste. That includes tiny ones for the dressing and for the runny cheese for the fries.

Which reminds me of the fries - back home, hours later, I will refry them for a minute or two, they come out almost as good as new.

But this all being home, I can also play around with the burger. Such as stuffing it with a full onion, thinly sliced and caramelized on low heat with olive oil, pepper and a dash of Lawry's seasoned salt. Maybe also sliced mushrooms sautΓ©ed in butter. I'll also add a few extra slices of yellow heirloom tomato.

One last thing: while the onions are caramelizing on the toaster oven, I'll also put another tray with a handful of asparagus in olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.

Like a friend described it, I like tuning the burger!
As in "car tuning", custom burger mods.

Durian

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

I really enjoy creamy chicken pot pie with white vinegar on top. I also enjoy sauerkraut on my tuna melts...

I like acid.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Fresh sauerkraut on a tuna melt sounds amazing. I will definitely be trying this.

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.

Uncooked potatoes. Always gets me weird looks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

There was some news story i saw a long time ago where a crazy christian married couple were still virgins and the guy said every time he gets hot and bothered he just bites into a raw potato. Then shows him doing it. I laughed my ass off

The tip of the fried chicken wing alongside with the bone. So crunchy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I have 2.

Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Best served on the lowest tier white bread you can find.

The second is onion rings and maple syrup. I wish someone would do maple battered onion rings because those would definitely be delicious.

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Soylent original.

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

I like drinking diet tonic water straight. As far as I know, it's not generally-consumed as a drink, just used as a mixer. More sour than most sodas.

I don't know if it's super weird, but I don't believe that it's the primary intent for the thing.

Not super weird but I usually get looks from others when I bust out a tub of cottage cheese as a dip for my chips. Spruced up version; Cottage cheese, chopped pickles, (Cholula chili garlic)hot sauce and a small dap of sesame oil is like the perfect ruffles dip.

Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

It's the second greatest sandwich ever.

Not incredibly weird but mist people are surprised when I eat multiple breakfast cereals together, like a salad, rather than just one. I like Wheatabix with shredded wheats, raisin wheats and fruit and fibre often. I do usually have it with almond milk though, rather than plain, so not too weird.

I haven't had this since I was a kid, but I used to take two pieces of toast, put Nutella on one slice, and margarine and Vegemite on the other… and then sandwich them together and chow down. Sweet and savory and umami all at the same time. Don't know if I would do that these days, though.

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 I’ll gnaw at that bone like I’m a fully grown dog. Granted I don’t do it in public, but I feel like leaving meat in the bone is a waste and it’s sometimes tastier!

Shrimp heads and and fish heads, but only non-Asian people think it's weird (I'm not Asian myself--I just eat a lot of Asian foods).
