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!

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.

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.

This is the objectively correct way to eat kiwis whether society is ready or not.

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

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

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

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

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.

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.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Reminds me of Spanish 'Manchego' cheese. It's a semi hard gourmet cheese in most commercial places and it has a slight strong flavour. During a holiday once in the south of Spain, we went searching for authentic Manchego cheese in the Sierra mountains of Andalusia. The cheese we found was a very strongly flavoured hard cheese that was the consistency and taste of hot weathered plastic. Strangely enough, combined with strong Spanish onion slices and it was delicious .... and then mixing it again with strong Chorizo sausage, specifically the ones they make in the mountains which taste like well worn and sweated gym socks and it was a whole other thing to get accustomed to.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Manchego is delicious, but it doesn't usually have a plasticky texture. That one must have been aged for a really long time.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago

This was high up in the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas ... a mountain road that took us all the way to the highest village where they cured the best cured ham in the region. The ham was great but it was so well cured and dry that you could have used them as wedges for woodworking, the same for the cheese, it was hard like a plastic scrapper for auto body work. It might have something to do with the altitude, humidity and temperature because all the cheese we ever saw down at sea level were hard but not that hard.

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.

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

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 21 hours ago

this is an interesting answer to me.

I'm literally the only person in my life. I know who doesn't like peanut butter and Nutella mixed together, but everybody I know loves the combination.

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

I like acid.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 15 hours ago

I like acid.

I too like to hallucinate.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 8 points 21 hours ago

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

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).

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 21 hours ago (6 children)

Uncooked potatoes. Always gets me weird looks.

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.

[–] Philote@lemmy.ml 8 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

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.

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.
