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?

Cinnamon raisin bagels with lox and cream cheese

Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper.. Not sure how terrible it is, but I don't generally serve it to others because it's very messy.

Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast along with a shot of espresso.

I got it from my dad. He used to have them with tea.

Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce

Rice with ketchup

Ketchup with ketchup

I love ketchup

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I grew up with pasta and ketchup at home.
It was my favourite dish.

Take a sweet bun that has a curd filling, cut it in half like a burger bun. Spread cream cheese on both sides. Add ham, cucumber, salad leaf. Serve with tarkhuna. This recipe might doxx me to my friends, because I always say to try it but nobody ever does.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 50 minutes ago

Weird, but I also kind of want dry spaghetti now.

Are you a field mouse?

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

I used to do this as a kid, and would add cheese to make it a "sandwich".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

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

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 πŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Y’all are horrifying. That’s all I came here to say.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'd love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I've ever eaten.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Then you're ready to try all the suggestions here!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago

I take pride in that remark.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

rice and lentils. Bit to mundane for company.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

I love rice and lentils. How do you cook/season your lentils?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

Add a spicy condiment to that and that sounds great!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This sounded really good... until the maple syrup thing. Why? Why?!

Don't get me wrong. Maple syrup is great. On pancakes or so, but this? This truly is an abomination.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Cause there's nothing quite like the combination of savoury, salty, spicy and sweet.
Other favorites of mine are chocolate chili, and my famous habanero honey salad dressing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

I get that mixing thing, although it's virtually non-existent in my country's cuisine. But still, this one doesn't feel right at all.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 hours ago

Sounds like something I'd pay 16$ to have served by a malnourished hipster on a cutting board to a table lit by a bar bulb as an appetizer.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

Sorry dude, that room is the kitchen.

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 laid my eyes upon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

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)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

the carrots get sliced but the tomatoes is left whole???

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Don't ask me why. Even I was speechless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

The whole thing was so surreal that I never bothered to ask about it.

Instant noodles, peanut butter, and sriracha. Crack an egg in near the end.

It's actually pretty close to pad thai, but screams of struggle meal

[–] [email protected] 2 points 48 minutes ago

I wouldn't serve instant noodles to guests either, but you have the gourmet version there.

Earlier this week I had curry on nacho chips because I made some really good curry and did not have the energy to make the actual nacho accoutrements that I had planned on doing

It was great
