I don’t think I’ve made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃
I’ll go first…I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I’ve had ever since I’ve had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven’t damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!
Salt and Vinegar Chips
Who tf thinks salt and vinegar, which is objectively the best chip, is weird?
The only thing I don’t like about eating them is they have a tendency of eating back
Britain’s favourite crisp flavour. Here, you’re weird for not liking them.
I love natto. Which isn’t that weird IMO, but people sure seem to think it is.
Even when I lived in Japan for a little bit, people there would be like “a GAIJIN that likes NATTO!?” Sure, it’s stinky, but yum.
Peanut butter and onion sandwiches.
Velveeta cheese and apple casserole.

It’s so fucking good.
Pork rinds seem to gross out some people.
Ass.
At this point eating ass is just sexual currency in today’s dating culture.
you’ve been gooning too much… nobody enjoys having their ass eaten…
I personally beg to differ
stop gooning
Not me, but an ex-girlfriend. She would fill a bowl with potato chips (crisps to you Brits) and then pour ketchup all over and eat it like a bowl of cereal with a spoon.
Kinda similar, I’ll finish off the shrapnel from a bag of corn chips with a spoonful or two of salsa in the salsa bowl. Spicy cereal, I guess?
This is why she’s an ex right
That and she couldn’t keep her mouth off another guy’s dick.
Honestly doesn’t sound like a good time, don’t think the ketchup would be enough to save his dick from the chips in her mouth.
If I could upvote this 50 times…
But mostly the chips thing, right?
Look, there are some things I can overlook in a relationship.
But eating a bag of lays with half a bottle of heinz ketchup poured on it? WITH A SPOON? 🤮
I’ve never met anyone IRL who understands how good a peanutbutter and nutella sandwich is.
Really? You can buy a mix of nutella and peanut butter here in one jar (not mixed through but in the same jar like the colors of toothpaste)
it’s awesome.
I call it “snickers sandwich”
I could see that working. I never liked PB&J due to texture issues, but always liked the idea of sweet + salty/savory.
It never occurred to me to create a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich, but now that I think about it, it sounds really good!
I’ve never tried it but you won’t have to convince me!
That sandwich goes hard. Sometimes I add marshmallow creme for a fancy fluffernutter.
this is an interesting answer to me.
I’m literally the only person in my life. I know who doesn’t like peanut butter and Nutella mixed together, but everybody I know loves the combination.
Dry sandwiches. I don’t like most condiments on anything that I eat cuz I think it ruins the flavor. Most condiments are overpowering and just make food taste like condiments. Don’t put them on anything. Not hotdogs, burgers, or sandwiches. The only exception I make is hot sauce.
I stopped eating condiments because in high school one of my classmates stopped as well (based on his nutricionist recommendation). He was a bit on the chubby side and he was looking great by the end of the year.
That and I have no clue WTF is on margerine, mayo, etc. I rarely eat ketchup and mustard but recently fell in love with ‘Schiracha’.There’s a huge variety in condiments.
Mayo is egg, vinegar, and oil.
Fats (oil) are super complicated. Some are very bad for you like canola oil (but they’re also cheap) while some are very good for you like olive oil (EVOO) (but it’s very expensive).
Some Mayo varieties will have these three ingredients and an emulsifier to help it stay nice on the shelf.
Others will have heaps of sugar and bullshit flavours.
The difference in nutritional value is huge.
Blue cheese crumbles in ramen or pumpkin soup. Soft blue cheese on a water cracker, topped with a drizzle of spicy honey. Maybe not super weird, but a lot of people just don’t like blue cheese to begin with.
I give my kiwis a good rinse and sorta “scrub” their skin (is it called a peel on kiwis?)with my palms before I bite into them skin and all like am apple. I have had more than one person audibly gasp and ask me what the hell I’m doing when they see me eating kiwis that way.
The spoon and digging as a kid was fun, but as an adult the time lost to cutting and spooning kiwi flesh from its skin just isn’t worth it. And if a kiwi is properly ripe anyway the bitter skin actually contrasts the sweet fleshy insides quite nicely.
The skin on kiwis is high in oxalates, so if you are prone to kidney stones, be careful.
Well now I’m terrified. Am I about to be pissing gravel?
Sorry to scare you. I’m not by any means a doctor, but from what I understand it tends to be an issue more with people who are already predisposed. So it’s probably not something most people have to be too concerned about.
Unfortunately you put the idea in my mind so now I’ll never be able to enjoy a kiwi again lol.
I am petrified of kidney stones. It’s why I stopped drinking energy drinks almost entirely. Every time I drink one I am reminded of my doctor telling me that those drinks are dangerous to drink often and part of that is the significant increased chances for kidney stones.
I appreciate you letting me know though. Better to have knowledge and have it changed your habits vs being blissfully unaware all the time. Though being blissfully unaware does seem awful tempting these days…
Oxalates and oxalic acid are common in a lot of different foods. Anything that has the little tart taste like arugula generally contains it. So its in a large number of fruits and vegetables a lot of which are delicious. As long as you are drinking liquids on a regular basis and aren’t eating something like Yellow Wood Sorrel daily which is super high in oxalic acid you will be fine.
Oh no not the yellow wood worrel! My favorite late night snack!
Jk. Thanks for the additional context. Yeah I did a little more research on the stuff and I am less worried now lol. I drink a lot of water every day and I only have things like kiwis on random occasions. Never a consistent thing.
I’ve been doing some native / foraged foods and they always have disclaimers about plants high in oxalates might cause kidney stones. They wild grown foods typically contain 10 to 100 times more concentrated vitamins, minerals and other both helpful and unhelpful components per ounce than traditional vegetables.
The real issue isn’t the kidney stones but that oxlatic acid is an anti-nutrient that stops the body from absorbing calcium. But there is not issue unless you eat in large quantities daily. It grows in my yard as a weed so I like to eat some of it while I am weeding. Its delicious and besides its anti-nutrient effect on calcium pretty healthy for you.
I just rinse them off and eat them whole.

Cannibalism?! Oh my god why the heck would you treat New Zealanders that way?!
It’s only cannibalism if you’re from New Zealand.
This is the objectively correct way to eat kiwis whether society is ready or not.
I am ready. You are ready. I think it’s time. We now eat kiwis with the
skinpeel still on.
It’s a peel
By the way, if you run a knife down the peel and cut into it around the kiwi and then again at a 90° angle, you can just peel the skin off. Very easy.
But the skin is nutritious!
Not very appetizing though.
It doesn’t bother me on a peach 🤷
It tastes good on a peach
Some of us think it tastes good on a kiwi, too. Probably an acquired taste.
Yeah but all that work just for me to lose out on nutrients. I’ll just watch the thing whole.
Two slices of toast, one with butter one with grape jelly. Slice a boiled egg, put the egg slices on the toast, give it a little bit of salt, complete assembly and boom, my breakfast egg sandwich.
It’s really good and I don’t understand why people are so weirded out by it. Eating a boiled egg and some toast with butter and jelly is fine for breakfast, but! Put them together as a sandwich and now I’m the weirdo.
Cottage cheese with a little dollop of peanut butter. I’d say for a bowl of cottage cheese, 1-1.5cup or so, about a heaping teaspoon of pb.
So. Friggin. Good.
Shrimp heads and and fish heads, but only non-Asian people think it’s weird (I’m not Asian myself–I just eat a lot of Asian foods).
I don’t think I eat anything that in and of itself is too weird, but I’ve gotten side eyed over the volume of breath mints I eat before
Lime pickles. They’re delicious, I can’t get through a jar on my own but I’ll get no help.
I’ve never tried or even heard of lime ones, but it makes sense to me because the half-sours with garlic and lemon are divine.
The Curry Guy has a recepie as jumping off point. I don’t know about local brands to you, but Patak’s is a staple here, their hot lime pickle is what got me onto the concept. I still get a jar every now and then, but the flavours are the intense kind that I get bored of and forget about, till the jar goes moldy.
So when I buy one, I kinda force myself through the last third. On bread, off a spoon, on pasta, some ungodly creations I swear.
Must have with my veggi dahl.
