I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?
I put ketchup on bread and microwave it
That is awful. Sorry
…i think i ate that labelled as ‘pizza’ on the riverwalk in 1988, but it may have had easy-cheese sprayed on top first: worst i’ve ever had in whatever case, you win…
Sometimes when I’m craving chicken wings but don’t want to spend the money, I just eat toast dipped in wing sauce. It actually scratches the itch.
… for what purpose?
you absolute
morongenius, as a fellow ketchup enjoyer I need to try this, what type of bread do you use?usually Hawaiian sweetbread
White bread with mustard, and those dried fried crisy onions sandwiched inside. Gets me through to next meal.
I knew someone who would eat a tomato for dinner with a few slices of carrots. Nothing baked, just a plain uncut tomato and slices of carrots.
I’m talking a functionnal human being, knowing the concept of cooking and the ability to walk to their kitchen with such a “dish” as they would call it. Not vegetarian either. They did like meat and whatnot. Saddest “meal” I’ve ever had the horror to lay my eyes upon.
Honestly, can relate! Had a month-long period when all I craved were carrot and white onion salads with a tiny pinch of salt, a load of ground black pepper, and drowned in vinegar. Used to chop the carrots down into tiny strips.
In your case, you added something, it was a salad with pepper and salt during a time where you were craving something in particular.
What was crazy to me about the story I told was the poor tomato and carrots were unseasoned, bland, resting in the saddest plate I’ve yet to encounter, while the person eating it was considering what was in front of them a meal.
(Not sure why someone would downvote you for your comment by the way)
Ooh, I get it now! Yeah, that sounds unnecessarily spartan. Although healthy, I guess?
Sorry, focused more on the components than the context…

I don’t care much about the what but the how. Biting into a whole tomato WILL make a mess. Simply cutting it in half greatly reduces the chance of that. If they already had a knife why not use it on the tomato. People are weird.
I was thinking that too, but maybe it was one of those hard, white-on-the-inside, unripe tomatoes.
The whole thing was so surreal that I never bothered to ask about it.
I’m a whole tomato-eater, and there is a way to eat them without being messy. The mess is divided into chambers, and you basically go one chamber at a time, suck out the mess in the chamber and then move on to the next.
…i can only eat firm roma tomatoes: gooshy tomatoes wig me out, always have…
If you are on a diet, this meal has very few kilojoules/calories. Fewer than a single slice of bread.
Wasn’t on a diet. Thankfully, they ate more during lunch and didn’t have any health issues due to eating weirdly but those “meals” were something else…
the carrots get sliced but the tomatoes is left whole???
You can just bite into it, you know. More fun to eat it that way imo
yeah but same with carrots. its the fact they went through the effort to slice the carrot but not the tomato.
I guess so. If they’re going to do one I would’ve imagine it would’ve been the tomato, true
Don’t ask me why. Even I was speechless.
Liver and ground beef in a skillet.
Easy post workout meal, easy to clean, only minutes to cook.
Nobody I know would eat liver
The flavor’s alright, but the texture is awful.
That’s why I mix it with the ground beef. I honestly can’t tell I’m eating any liver at all
I keep a bouquet of dry pasta on my desk that I absentmindedly munch on while I work.
Sometimes I’ll eat a whole head of cabbage over a day peeling it leaf by leaf.
My brother and I used to eat raw spaghetti from the box as kids. Idk why, we just liked the crunch and the taste lol.
…i used to do that until i discovered weevils in my spaghetti in college…
…🤢
Are you a field mouse?
Weird, but I also kind of want dry spaghetti now.
rice and lentils. Bit to mundane for company.

I don’t really have a typical. will add veggies on hand and im not very good with seasonings so I tend to use mixes so I have like a mexican blend and indian blend and such.
…delicious staple, love it with spinach leaves and coarse-chopped roma tomatoes on top…
its wonderful and I eat it all the time but don’t make it for company.
Add a spicy condiment to that and that sounds great!
Gnocchi cream and cheddar, with ham if I’m feeling hungry.
It’s for when I don’t have a lot of time but am really hungry.
My invented dish I call “Scrumpy”. You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add
southernhot sauce like Frank’s, and some Cajun seasoning.It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I’ve done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top… Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
…that’s - odd…
Ok this I sort of understand because I used to make Nacho Potatoes. Nacho Potatoes are baked potatoes but with the toppings of nachos. Lettuce is essential because it gives a crunch that enhances the texture of the dish.
Nacho up your fries, include full trimmings.
I’ve had this at pubs (in the US). It was called “Irish Nachos.” They were pretty tasty.
Frank’s is not a southern hot sauce.
You’re saying it’s from New York City?
NEW YORK CITY?!?!
Noted, thanks! What do I call that style then? I thought it was southern style.
You might call it “Buffalo style” since it’s commonly the primary component of Buffalo sauce.
Tabasco and Crystal are classic southern hot sauces.
Don’t forget Louisiana… My wife’s favorite.
Oh, I didn’t forget.
Crystal meth?
I’ll show my ignorance here, too, because I thought crystal was a similar flavor. That’s actually why I said southern style.
Crystal has a less harsh flavor than Tabasco and Frank’s. They’re all similar, of course, but there are subtle variations; thus, in my opinion, they each have different applications.
Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I’m feeling fancy/not lazy I’ll add some chopped shallots or scallions.
Cold baked beans straight from the tin, eaten with a spoon. I’m grinning thinking of my dinner guests’ faces as they contemplate their tins.
Corned beef hash right out of the can is alarmingly close to dog food.
And better than it has any right to be.
Mustard bread. I’m dead serious.
Edit to clarify: just a slice of bread with a heap of mustard rushedly spread on it. I either go for honey mustard if I’m looking for a bit of pep, or whole grain Dijon for savouring.
My oldest brother used to put mustard on toast
Ooh, that’s the fancy kind, I’m generally too lazy to wait for toast.
I used to do this as a kid, and would add cheese to make it a “sandwich”.
Hate me if you will, but any source of protein on a slice of bread is a sammich to me!
Also, most definitely works, especially with some of the smoked cheeses which are common in our area!
Dammit! Could’ve been a commercial star in the 80s had I been born in the 80s and, like… a different country…
Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.
And at night you can visit the monster world under your bed to play with Maurice and Boy.
Dude I thought I was the only one who remembers little monsters
Fred Savage was in everything…
Yeah he was.
I have Little Monsters to thank for introducing me to Talking Heads. I hear Road to Nowhere and I’m 10 again.
Does your breath clear out a whole theater after eating that?
Raw tagliatelle. I love picking it apart and eating it, it has a satisfying crunch, especially when pieces directly overlap, but I’d be silly to just up and serve a plate of raw tagliatelle to someone 😂
Microwaved pepperoni chips.
Put pepperoni on a plate with some paper towels, microwave for one minute. The apartment will smell either heavenly or sickening for the next hour, depending on how much you like pepperoni.
Works with any sliced sausage really
Grits with canned tuna.
Grits with chili paste, fried egg, pork fu.
Sandwich of sardines and mayonnaise and raw onion.
OP, my sweet potato lunch is a Stokes Purple one frozen then baked, topped with goat cheese, pepitas, olive oil and fancy salt. I don’t even like sweet potatoes but like that there’s enough salty/sharp stuff
What are grits made of? I’ve never seen them in 40 years but hear about them
Hominy. It’s corn treated with lye, “nixtamalized” so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.
Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.
Grits can be white or yellow corn.
I don’t even like sweet potatoes but like that there’s enough salty/sharp stuff
I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don’t understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It’s already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.
