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
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.
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.
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.
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.
I used to do this as a kid, and would add cheese to make it a "sandwich".
Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.
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 π
Yβall are horrifying. Thatβs all I came here to say.
I'd love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I've ever eaten.
Then you're ready to try all the suggestions here!
I take pride in that remark.
rice and lentils. Bit to mundane for company.
I love rice and lentils. How do you cook/season your lentils?
Add a spicy condiment to that and that sounds great!
Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.
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.
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)
the carrots get sliced but the tomatoes is left whole???
Don't ask me why. Even I was speechless.
I donβt 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.
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
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
