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!

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

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

Just a big chunk of brie cheese, something I'm currently eating now.

I sincerely don't understand why people don't like it

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

It's probably genetic, like bitter vegetables (blech) or cilantro (tasty).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I thought I hated it because the artificial flavor version in America is terrible. (Think jelly beans) One day I found out the real stuff is amazing.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days 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.

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.

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!

Anchovies on pizza, I wouldn't say that I love it but sometimes I get strong cravings for that salty little fish on my pizza.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Apple pieces with three to four tabasco drops on each of them.

God I'm addicted to this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

This sounds interesting. I’m gonna try it right now. I’ll edit with my thoughts.

Edit: Didn’t have any Tabasco but did have some Franks. Very interesting flavor. Sweet and tangy. The back heat it’s nice and the texture of the apple with this flavor is quite nice. Will do it again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

You'd fare well in Mexico. Remember the gaspacho police? Well, gaspachos have fruit like apples and tasty chili! And also cheese for some reason but that's mostly unique to MichoacΓ‘n state afaik.

Venison, with kudu being tops. Love the gamey meats, so lamb, goat, elk all get a thumb's up.

Beef is for pleebs!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I love natto. Which isn't that weird IMO, but people sure seem to think it is.

Even when I lived in Japan for a little bit, people there would be like "a GAIJIN that likes NATTO!?" Sure, it's stinky, but yum.

Lasagnchiladas.

Layer of lasagna, layer of enchilada, keep stacking until baking dish is full.

It's a bit more work since you're making two whole dishes but it's the one thing that such from Epic Mealtime inspired experiments.

I don't have them as much, but peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches are great. Add some cheese (non-cheddar for me, thank you) slices and I've got a good sandwich.

I also am the type of person to make tortilla "wraps" with just ketchup or ranch and nothing else. Real middle of the night or there's nothing else good to eat type food for me.

Cannot say I'm a fan of uncooked pasta, though, but slightly undercooked pasta is pretty good.

Canned sardines on saltines. Dad was poor for awhile, eating straight from the can was passed down.
