I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! ๐Ÿ˜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!

Lime pickles. They're delicious, I can't get through a jar on my own but I'll get no help.

[โ€“] GoOnASteamTrain@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I agree!! Crunchy uncooked spaghetti or lasagne sheet is a forbidden treat! I do rather enjoy it despite it being "horrifying"

My other nomination is Cheese and Jam sandwiches (jelly for americans) - a little savoury squish with my sweet is just lovely!

[โ€“] Corno@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Love uncooked wholewheat spaghetti! You can easily select a given diameter and it's easy to eat. I think the wholewheat version has this nice earthy flavour and it's a little more brittle than normal pasta. Craving some right now!

Peanut butter or yellow mustard are viable pretzel/chip dips

[โ€“] just_some_guy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

A nice brown mustard on a hard pretzel is heaven.

[โ€“] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] GoOnASteamTrain@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Is this like mint sauce you'd put on lamb? Peanut butter is allergy death, but mint and strawberry interests me!

Spaghetti with bread

My entire family eats spaghetti with bread, everyone else finds it weird

I also eat fries with bread, mamaliga with bread, and bread with bread

Not me but on The German cannabis community (C/cannabis@feddit.org) 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.

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

[โ€“] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] crusty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

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

smushing up hard boiled eggs with butter, with salt and pepperโ€ฆ

[โ€“] helloworld55@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Mustard on lasagna. Not even fancy mustard, just the yellow deli stuff.

It's been a staple in our family for about 10 years after my sister tried it as a joke

[โ€“] Lesrid@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I mix a ~~tiny~~ bit of honey mustard into my rice with spicy curry

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 sautรฉed 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.

How the hell you gonna work like that and not just cook your own patty?!

Thickly sliced cucumber + mustard on top <3

Tinned fish on toast โ€” mackerel or sardines. Criminally underrated dish

Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

It's the second greatest sandwich ever.

[โ€“] moakley@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Peanut butter and jelly, of course.

I was having lunch in the break room once, and a wise old man came in and asked me what I was eating.

"Peanut butter and jelly," I said.

"I think that's the best sandwich they ever did come up with," he replied, then walked away.

I think about that a lot.

He's right. It's one of the great sandwiches, for sure.

I've taken to eating mine open faced. 1 slice of bread with PB and jam on it. Of course I guess it's not technically a sandwich any more..

[โ€“] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 12 hours ago

Peanut butter and onion sandwiches.

[โ€“] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The last time I had sushi from Wegman's, I had it with ranch dressing. It's good.

[โ€“] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Right here, officer. ๐Ÿ‘ฎ
