Shredded cheese crisped up in a skillet.
According to my ex, who politely asked me to stop doing that, it makes the entire house smell like particularly foul body odor.
Nah that's delicious. Ex made "keto nachos"- pork rinds and cheese in toaster oven, now that smells nasty
Sometimes I put a tiny bit of mustard on an Oreo to have a sweet and tangy snack.
Angry upvote.
My partner thinks it’s disgusting and my biggest red flag: I make peanut butter sandwiches on white bread and dip them in ranch dressing 😩 the reason I do this is because of growing up a millennial in NKY where a weekly lunch option was a bowl of chili, served with a peanut butter sandwich, and carrot sticks w a side of ranch….I hate raw carrots, always have lmao but I love all the other items….one day I was staring at the sad unused ranch and thinking as I was already keen to dipping the PB sandwich in the chili, that maybe it would be as good as the PB in chili so I tried it and I’ve just done it and liked a PB sandwich dipped in ranch ever since 😓 my partner has even tried it for me and hated it 🤷🏼♀️ at least they loved me enough to try it 🥹
Bean dip on pizza. It sounds super weird, and it is, but it's also delicious 🤤
This sounds like the bean base for a taco pizza. Not sure how wide spread it is, but where i am from in the Midwest it is pretty popular. Pizza Hut has a Taco Bean and a Taco Beef Pizza. Add cheddar cheese, pop it in the oven, after it's done baking, add lettuce, more cheddar cheese, tomatoes, chushed up Doritos, and some sour cream. So good.
Brewed tea leaves, think they're the best part. There's a good number that are terrible (the cheap CTC blacks especially) but think most green teas and floral oolongs are great.
Weird to brew a cup of tea and then eat the leaves but there's also some legit recipes with tea leaves. Burmese tea leaf salad and longjing shrimp are two. There's also matcha.
Raw garlic, just once in a while, as a little treat. Sometimes I’ll mash it up in some bread but most often… plain, raw garlic.
I have also not met a single thing I won’t try to pickle at least once, and for some reason people around me think that it is Terrifying hahaha. Personally, I find pickling to be a fantastic way to rescue produce that’s otherwise about to go off. Instead of making food waste, I’m making delicious snacks and toppings. Pickle everything!
I'm assuming you've had pickled garlic, then? I just picked up 2 jars of it recently. I have to stop myself from eating too much sometimes. Raw garlic is great for me when I have a bad cold and need to clear out my sinuses.
My favourite pizza topping is pepperoni and flaked tuna, the good stuff too so it's meaty oily tuna.
Love it but so many people think I'm odd for it. The meaty flavours compliment each other!!!
My wife introduced me to Tuna mixed with Mac & Cheese, and now I totally enjoy it myself, other people have found it a little strange.
A more general answer: Meals without meat.
For some reason this really confuses people, and often makes them concerned or upset.
Lobsters and crabs are essentially overgrown bugs that live in water. At one point they were only fed to prisoners.
Peanut butter + mayo + pickles on bread.
It's apparently a Depression era recipe, but I crave it once every two months or so
Are you continuously pregnant?
I eat prunes daily. some people think it's a laxative for old people. sure, there's fiber in them and fiber helps you stay regular but just the same as eating most fruit. prunes are just dried plums and they're delicious
Toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and bananas. - the cheese + bananas is what gets me looks.
I love eating a raw potato like an apple, for whatever reason. Any time I'm cooking a dish with potatoes, I'll wash and peel one for me to eat. My boyfriend looked like I had grown a third arm the first time he saw me do it.
It's the perfect mix of crunchy and juicy, but not sweet.
Raw potatoes are like semi toxic. Do you not get any GI upset from doing that?
No, never. AFAIK they aren't toxic, just that the starch is poorly digested. Either way, I've never gotten sick from it, so 🤷
It's odd because I have had digestive issues off and on through the years, but the potatoes have never precipitated it. (It's mostly anything spicy, which sucks as I love spicy food-- it's a price I pay willingly sometimes)
Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family within the genus Solanum, such as the potato, the tomato, and the eggplant
Raw potatoes certainly are mildly toxic, it's not just undigestable starches.
Most home processing methods like boiling, cooking, and frying potatoes have been shown to have minimal effects on solanine levels. For example, boiling potatoes reduces the α-chaconine and α-solanine levels by only 3.5% and 1.2% respectively, but microwaving potatoes reduces the alkaloid content by 15%. Deep frying at 150 °C (302 °F) also does not result in any measurable change.
They're no more toxic than cooked potatoes.
This guy raw potatoes
I'm just sick and tired of the "don't you know they're toxic" response to finding out I eat raw ones. My people, if they were toxic I wouldn't be eating them because it would have made me ill. 🤦 Someone eating a whole bag of potato chips is gonna take in more solanine than I will eating one raw, peeled potato.
Hell, there are places that do baked/fried potato skins as an appetizer, when the skin is where the solanine is concentrated, and often can rise above the safe threshold. It's even suggested to eat a small piece of potato skin raw to determine if the solanine levels are safe, as it tastes very bitter.
I actually consume kiwis without peeling them, because I find it much more tasteful.
Also, mealworms. Fried ones. I bought them for my pet rats and ended up gorging on them sometimes.
😐
My friend recommended eating kiwis with the skin on. It takes a second to get used to the fuzzy skin, but they are SOOOO much easier to eat! Plus you get some extra fiber ;)
I love the pop texture of with them skin on. And it is gives a nice bitter light note to the sweet fruit.
I love making steamed artichokes stuffed with pecorino cheese, garlic and bread crumbs. A recipe from my grandmother.

Sauerkraut.
By itself, out of the jar, with a fork.
Pizza with hollandaise sauce base instead of tomato sauce. My father almost disowned me for it.
Toasted Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cheez whiz. Everyone in my family loves it. You will too. 😂
I enjoy ginger beer and will try to cut it into random other alcoholic beverages like red wine.
I some time thaw frozen dumplings in the fridge, and then eat them cold on hot days.
Ham sandamoni and cheesewich
Macaroni and cheese, plus shredded ham, plus mustard
It tastes incredible, but nobody else EVER wants to try it. Their loss!
Taco chips with peanut butter.
Peanut butter and jelly (aka jam) with white sandwich bread with a generous amount of Doritos or cheez-its in it. One of my favorite meals!
Toasted sandwich bread with tomato slices, salt, and mayo. I could die just thinking about them. Add corn on the cob as a side.
A slice of sandwich bread with mustard, American cheese, and onion. Stick in the broiler to melt thecl cheese and brown the bread, and serve. RIP grandma.
I like pineapple on pizza, but I think there's only one specific sort of pizza where it's actually good. You need a good barbeque sauce base, jalapenos, and some sort of meat (I prefer chicken and bacon). The usual ham, pineapple and tomato sauce version can get in the sea.
I like it as well, and for me does not need all the extras. Pineapple and pepperoni or salami is such a good combo
peanut butter belongs in curry! even squid curry, I don't care what food wars says
I loved cream cheese and grape jelly sandwiches when I was a kid! Nobody else was convinced that it’d be good, but it certainly works for me
Cracker, sardine, tomato, cottage cheese, ground black pepper *chef’s kiss. The perfect snack.
A friend once turned me on to peanut butter and tuna sandwiches.
I... do not know why I thought that was good at one point, now that I think about it.
This may sound weird, but I like eating sour cream with a spoon sometimes
