I’ll start: pesto as a bagel topping.
If I find a good bell pepper, I will eat it whole like an apple.
When I get a beverage/food garnished with an herb like a sprig of mint or rosemary, I like to nibble on them. My friends and girlfriend sort of lost their minds when I took a bit out of a cinnamon stick from a cocktail.
One of my regular breakfast rotations is toast with creamcheese topped with either canned sardines or canned smoked oysters. Quick and tasty, but admittedly kinda weird.
I basically eat all sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bagels if I can. Eggs, bacon/sausage, and cheese for breakfast? Yes. Pastrami and Swiss with mustard and sprouts? Yes. Tuna salad with Swiss? Yes. I get so many weird looks. But whatever. I like it. :)
Bagel with a pesto topping actually sounds quite nice.
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!!!
I’m not even sure I need to read the rest of the thread after this comment. You win by default! I guess it makes as much sense as anchovies on pizza though.
Toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and bananas. - the cheese + bananas is what gets me looks.
People put mayo on cheese sandwiches and banana sandwiches, so why not?
I actually consume kiwis without peeling them, because I find it much more tasteful.
The hair is initially tough to get over, but I also eat kiwis this way. There’s a tanginess just under the skin that otherwise gets cut off.
Also, mealworms. Fried ones. I bought them for my pet rats and ended up gorging on them sometimes.
😐
You win.
Why though? Mealworms are part of a human diet since the dawn of time. It’s just meat.
😐
I’ve had fried mealworms, I remember them tasting somewhat of Fritos.
I could feel all of the “hairs” in my mouth because of your comment. Thanks I hate it.
Hey, it’s a feature. You could also shave them!
When you’ve been terribly poor, you get creative.
I once got tired of packet ramen and put some free milk I pilfered from a hotel into the broth to make it more like a creamy sauce. Black pepper and peanut butter can also do wonders. It’s not 5 star dining, but it was better than you’d think. Especially after the 8th day in a row eating Raman and stolen fruit.
Ive done it again on the rare occasion, even now that I don’t have to. My partner goes green when she sees it.
As I’ve learned more, I do think it could be made really good for cheap. Make your Raman first, and remove your noodles. Make sure to use whole milk.
If you’re using peanut butter, you’ve got your work cut out for you because it doesn’t like to mix. I never tested this, bit I think you’d do well to add bit of extra starch (like corn starch, which is cheap) to better emulsify it. Mix the starch with cold water outside of your pot first to make a slurry.
This is a cheap meal built with not a small number of stolen parts. If you have the cash though, use sesame oil (go slow with it. It’s expensive and it’s easy to overdo it). I’ve noticed that the combined nuttiness of sesame oil and peanut butter is much stronger than the sum of its parts.
Eggs are pricey still I think? I used to get them at like $1 for those 32 packs though. Add an egg. If its as cheap as it used to be, they’re just free calories and always good with Raman. Doesn’t matter how you do it really, but if you’re feeling lazy, just put it right in there while the Raman cooks. I’d go towards the end, or you get some ugly strands of egg white I don’t love, and it doesn’t mix well. Maybe try after the starch slurry?
There’s nothing weird about those. Ramen may not lend itself to creamy sauces as Italian noodle dishes, but it’s not like it would change the flavor immensely. As for peanut butter and pepper, spicy peanut sauces (e.g. satay) are pretty common in Asian cuisine. You’re doing nothing unusual, just improving instant ramen.
Finally, vindication after all these years.
Peanut butter + mayo + pickles on bread.
It’s apparently a Depression era recipe, but I crave it once every two months or so
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 ;)
My wife would say: Kipper Snacks
Stinky fish is delicious.

peanut butter belongs in curry! even squid curry, I don’t care what food wars says
Almond butter is also fantastic in curry. I regularly use it in lentil curries.
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.
Lobsters and crabs are essentially overgrown bugs that live in water. At one point they were only fed to prisoners.
