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!

    Pretty much everything. My partner thinks it’s weird that I like to eat…

    Pepperocinis, Baby corn, Pickled ginger, Any kind of olives (green, black, kalmata, oil-cured…), Cheese hotdogs, Hot sauce on soup, Hearts of Palm, Cincinnati-style chili,

    I guess the curse of my German/Swedish heritage is, if you soak anything in brine and vinegar long enough, I’ll probably eat it.

    Hello, I’m here to die on the hill that pineapple is a perfectly valid ingredient to put on a pizza, and would like to argue that any ingredient is valid to put on a pizza.

    Americans just don’t realize how sheltered their definition of pizza is. There are people out there committing food crimes you can’t even imagine.

        throw some bananas on there and I believe you have traditional Scandinavian pizza style.

    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’.

      I’ve had it. The flavor was very good - like imagine a hard boiled egg that tastes like roast duck - but the texture, eeehhhh…

    Personally, I don’t think this is all that weird, but I like cold leftovers. My preferred breakfasts are things like cold pizza, cold mac and cheese, cold mashed potatoes, etc.

    For some reason, my friends and family think it’s gross and they always say things like “I don’t know how you can eat that cold.”

      I had one ex who used to get upset whenever I ate cold food and would scold me for it. Like, dude, I’m the one eating this shit, what’s your problem? Lol

      Also, cold pizza rocks when I’m high as balls.

    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.

      Cannibalism?! Oh my god why the heck would you treat New Zealanders that way?!

        • 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…

    Beetroot juice and beetroot based dishes, pikled lemons and other citrus fruits, sweet meat.

    I like to experiment with food in general, try some old recipes like before american vegetables old.

      Beetroot is great when winter comes round. It fits so well in those hearty roasted dishes

      try some old recipes

      What do you think of Max Miller’s youtube channel?

        I have somewhat mixed opinions on Max Miller; his acting is a bit over the top, and history fragments sometimes have weird details that he had misunderstood during research or misread. I would have liked his videos a lot more if he actually talked about the history of the recipe more and not something tangentially related to it. In general he is ok. 🙃

    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.

    Not super weird but I usually get looks from others when I bust out a tub of cottage cheese as a dip for my chips. Spruced up version; Cottage cheese, chopped pickles, (Cholula chili garlic)hot sauce and a small dap of sesame oil is like the perfect ruffles dip.

      I used to hate cottage cheese which I think was because people used to eat it within a cantaloupe as a diet food when I was younger. But had it recently and it is amazing. I was eating it with pepper but something spicy and vinegary would be great

        I definitely prefer adding savory things to cottage cheese, not sweets. Some of my most frequent additions are salsa, everything bagel seasoning (preferably without salt), or red pepper flakes & garlic powder. Oh! Fresh green onions are also good. Also, full fat cottage cheese is way better than the lower fat versions, and I definitely prefer some brands over others.

          I enjoy a tart apple with a sharp cheddar but in general cheese and sweet doesn’t always mix. I am going to have to try fresh green onions when my garden is up and running since I have garlic chives running wild.

          Also what kind of monster eats low fat cheese? Cheese is just milk fats and milk proteins. Why would you remove half of that? Its the kind of terrible diet food that just tastes awful and seems like a punishment. I would never

      Broccoli for breakfast is so underrated. Broccoli and eggs were my breakfast staple for years.
