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!

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.

[–] Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

Kinda similar, I’ll finish off the shrapnel from a bag of corn chips with a spoonful or two of salsa in the salsa bowl. Spicy cereal, I guess?

Apparently Rally’s/Checker’s fries with honey mustard 🤷‍♂️ I don’t like those seasoned fries by themselves, but they’re bomb af with honey mustard. But they don’t seem to carry honey mustard anymore at the location closest to me :/

Toast or peanut butter sandwich dipped in milk.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 17 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

One that I like is toasted peanut butter sandwiches with an onion slice in the middle. And dipped in tomato soup is so delicious.

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

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.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 19 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

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.

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.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

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.

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

As someone from GA, it is unfathomable to me that someone would think this is weird. And yes. 100% on the Duke's.

The peanut butter, though, I'd rather leave out.

[–] Hazelnutcookiez@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

You lost me at Mayonnaise. But just peanut butter and bananas is amazing.

Balut

Just kidding, don't Google that

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Couple weeks ago my friend brought a balut into a bar and did a balut bomb (cracking it into a pint of beer and chugging/swallowing it)

We all almost puked

Super common in Vietnam. And from I’ve learned from Stephen Colbert also common in the south.

Now you probably mean this in the American way, but omfg boiled masala peanut salad???? I could eat that shit for days and never get sick of it

[–] lemerchand@sh.itjust.works 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I do mean it in an American way but also boiled peanuts masala salad sounds right the fuck up my alley.

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

[–] maxalmonte14@lemmy.world 12 points 19 hours ago (3 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.

[–] shikitohno@lemm.ee 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's pretty good, especially in the summer time.

On topic for the thread, the way I make it has pretty much always gotten a "WTF are you trying to feed me?" look from Dominicans. Okay, more of an "Ay dios mío, este muchacho" eye roll and a "¿Qué es este menjunje que tu tá inventando allí?" from them, if I'm being honest. For the ones I've gotten to actually try it, though, they all agree it's pretty good.

I have the usual mix of milk and orange juice, add in some sweetened, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and then I add jam/preserves instead of just sugar. I'm partial to cherry preserves, but if chinola jam were a thing I could get here, I'd probably just stick with that. Toss it in a blender with some flaked ice, and 30 seconds later, you're that much closer to developing diabetes. Depending on the sort of night I'm having, I might toss in some spiced rum, too.

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 points 10 hours ago

Damn, that sounds awesome. I'm gonna have to try that.

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

[–] mushroomstormtrooper@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I have always gnawed on raw pasta, too. Love it. People always think its weird that I eat the leaves with my strawberries.

Shrimp heads, especially when they've been deep fried. So much flavor, and nice and crunchy. Fried fish fins are similar in this regard. Oh and fish eyeballs - my wife thought I was nuts until I got her to try it, now she really enjoys them.

[–] Generica@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

White cheddar macaroni and steamed green peas mixed together, particularly with fish sticks

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

I do this with tuna instead of fish sticks and it’s pretty solid

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.

[–] kinship@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I stopped eating condiments because in high school one of my classmates stopped as well (based on his nutricionist recommendation). He was a bit on the chubby side and he was looking great by the end of the year.
That and I have no clue WTF is on margerine, mayo, etc. I rarely eat ketchup and mustard but recently fell in love with 'Schiracha'.

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.
