Food and Cooking

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 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 🥹

A more general answer: Meals without meat.

For some reason this really confuses people, and often makes them concerned or upset.

I love making steamed artichokes stuffed with pecorino cheese, garlic and bread crumbs. A recipe from my grandmother.

During a time where I would eat really utilitarian for lunch, this meal was my daily go to:

-half a can of skipjack tuna

-some amount of chopped cabbage

-steamer bag carrots and peas

-rice seasoning from the local Asian market (I don't know which one it's just labelled "rice seasoning")

-hot sauce

I try to not eat like a serial killer anymore

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.

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 ;)

Sauerkraut.

By itself, out of the jar, with a fork.

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

Peanut butter + mayo + pickles on bread.

It's apparently a Depression era recipe, but I crave it once every two months or so

I actually consume kiwis without peeling them, because I find it much more tasteful.

Sometimes I put a tiny bit of mustard on an Oreo to have a sweet and tangy snack.

I used to eat onion and mustard sandwiches years ago. They're not bad, actually.

peanut butter belongs in curry! even squid curry, I don't care what food wars says

Baked onion with salt. Just a singular baked onion

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.

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!

Cracker, sardine, tomato, cottage cheese, ground black pepper *chef’s kiss. The perfect snack.

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.

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.

Taco chips with peanut butter.

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

Cheez-its dipped in melted chocolate

Toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and bananas. - the cheese + bananas is what gets me looks.

Grasshoppers, they're delicious with lemon.

Make a bowl of chili, make a peanut butter sandwich, drop the peanut butter sandwich in the bowl of chill, eat it. I think this is a midwestern thing and everybody else thinks I'm nuts until they try it.

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 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.
