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?
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”.
Hate me if you will, but any source of protein on a slice of bread is a sammich to me!
Also, most definitely works, especially with some of the smoked cheeses which are common in our area!
Dammit! Could’ve been a commercial star in the 80s had I been born in the 80s and, like… a different country…
My oldest brother used to put mustard on toast
Ooh, that’s the fancy kind, I’m generally too lazy to wait for toast.
…so i grew up with what we called five-way in northern kentucky, and no, it’s not cincinnati chili…
- spaghetti
- browned ground beef (or in my case since 1989, vegetarian substitute)
- diced onions (fresh / cold)
- dark red kidney beans (simmered / hot)
- grated cheddar cheese (annatto-colored)
- ketchup
…it’s all layered up on a large plate in that order, bottom-to-top so the cheese melts nicely, cut into a grid pattern with a fork and knife, and then mixed together: i don’t cook it often since moving out on my own thirty-five years ago but it so hits the spot when i do…
That sounds pretty good
So poor mans bolognese. I remember reading when you heat up ketchup it denatures (probably not the right word but opposite of caramelize) and loses its sweetness and becomes pasta sauce.
…it definitely changes when used to top meatloaf…
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
Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It’s like Indian poutine. Amazing.
Have you tried palak paneer pizza? It might be a Baltimore thing. So good.
That is relevant to my interests. I’ll have to pay a visit to Baltimore.
Just tried a new Indian place near me that has masala fries and poutine on the menu
That sounds baller and something you’d find in Texas hill country.
I live in Scotland so, uhh… guess we’ve got the hills and a general attitude towards the bigger country we’re a part of? Not a lot else in common, but still
I don’t think there’s anything that I eat that couldn’t be served to anyone else. Even some particularly Brazilian dishes, such as cooked cassava or corn couscous with milk and butter are pretty much vanilla compared to some other local dishes which I dread - such as buchada (a brazilian haggis, made with rice and goat offals), sarapatel (just the cooked goat offals) or chouriço doce (a reduction of sugar, spices and pig blood).
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.
I toast my bread, then do mayo or butter, thick slices of tomato, and salt. Some pepper sometimes.
Toasted tomato open faced sandwich!
But I would serve that to guests. I don’t see why not.
I would make something similar. Tomato salt pepper sourcream and potato chips(any flavour). Haven’t had that in years, now in kinda want one and i have to go to the store soon
…i used to do that with a thick layer of thinly-sliced colby cheese…
Cream of wheat but then you put a gloop of fruit yoghurt on top. Delicious probiotic fruit gruel.
2nd place goes to microwaved potato
Do you eat it with or without the microwave?
Inside the microwave.
The gloop is the international standardized measurement for yoghurt
Cut up tortillas, fry them with some salt, when crispy crack two or three eggs in there and scramble. I grew up eating it and while it is delicious I don’t think I would serve it to guests.
Thank you for the suggestion.
I love migas!
That actually doesn’t sound that bad lol
If you soaked the chips in salsa first that sounds like chilaquiles.
I think as written it’s migas, which is similar but not quite the same, notably the tortillas aren’t smothered in salsa first
Exactly this.
Fair.
…that’s essentially migas: people pay restaurant money for that…
Yeah now they do and I feel kinda vindicated TBH. Back when I was a kid this dish was compared to dog food by some of my classmates and teachers, I kid you not. Maybe I still carry some of that trauma and I wouldn’t serve it to guests but I will gladly cook it for me and my kid, who also loves it.
Yum! I do this with tortilla chips crushed slightly and let them soak in the melting butter in the pan while it warms up. Same thing in reverse mostly. Delicious.
Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.
I cook it when I’m in a rush or tired, it’s done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.
But I would never feed it to anybody else, it’s lazy bro/fitness food lol.
Sounds like a pretty good snack to eat in front of the TV.
It sounds pretty good actually
I mean, I like it lol, but I love chickpeas, I would almost eat them raw from the can.
If you’re eating them that regularly, it may be worth the savings to buy them dry, and soak overnight before cooking them. I dunno. It is worth it for me.
I buy them in bulk by the can at a pretty good price already, but I’ll look into that, thanks!
They are good just drizzled in Ranch dressing. LOL
Scoop of peanut butter
Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.
And at night you can visit the monster world under your bed to play with Maurice and Boy.
Dude I thought I was the only one who remembers little monsters
Fred Savage was in everything…
Yeah he was.
I have Little Monsters to thank for introducing me to Talking Heads. I hear Road to Nowhere and I’m 10 again.
Does your breath clear out a whole theater after eating that?
Tamale pie- canned corn, chili (no beans bc blegh), canned tamales (really these are even optional despite the name of the dish), and Swiss cheese all melted together in ooey gooey goodness.
Also I love the raw dough from those biscuits in the can that pops
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
What are grits made of? I’ve never seen them in 40 years but hear about them
Hominy. It’s corn treated with lye, “nixtamalized” so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.
Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.
Grits can be white or yellow corn.
I don’t even like sweet potatoes but like that there’s enough salty/sharp stuff
I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don’t understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It’s already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.
Raw jello powder, add a dribble of water to make part of it a super thick paste.
Blue cheese, and sweet condensed milk dip with tortilla chips.
Note: I might have more, but just woke up from a nightmare and its 2:30am. Will try to come back later.
Fresh tomato and dry roasted peanuts.
Actually I might try it on someone …
I’m trying to envision this. Is the tomato sliced or diced? Are the peanuts whole or crushed? Is this a spoon dish or do you use your hands?
These are all questions I didn’t know I had. OP, please indulge us!
Either slices cut in half or diced and the peanuts whole, in separate dishes. A half mouthful of peanuts followed by a half mouthful of tomato. Never mix the two together before eating! I prefer to use a spoon.
Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.
I thought that it was fairly normal… until you got to the malt vinegar.
…malt vinegar krauts the kraut: sounds delicious…
That’s just a hotdog, no?
