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!

Peanut butter and onion sandwiches.

[–] moakley@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Bacon and cream cheese sandwich on white bread.

It's the second greatest sandwich ever.

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.

I don't know where you're from but in my country drinking tonic is kinda popular, the Schweppes brand is seen as the coca cola of tonic (obviously not as a common soda as coke or even Fanta).

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.

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).

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.

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.

Peanut butter or yellow mustard are viable pretzel/chip dips

[–] just_some_guy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

A nice brown mustard on a hard pretzel is heaven.

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!

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

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

Cardboard sometimes

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (9 children)

probably heart for me these days.

it's my favorite cut of meat, and everybody agrees if I cook it for them, but until they try it I always get weird. looks or blank stares and confused questions.

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.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago

Peanut butter and sweet onion (Walla Walla onions where I live) sandwiches. I prefer them on a plain bagel.
