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?
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
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.
I roast seasoned chickpeas for snacking like that. I’ll top pan fried chickpeas with leftover rice and carrot then let those steam up with the lid on. It helps contain popping beans too lol
Dang, that sounds good, I’ll have to try that lol.
It sounds pretty good actually
I mean, I like it lol, but I love chickpeas, I would almost eat them raw from the can.
You can! I love chickpea salad.
They are good just drizzled in Ranch dressing. LOL
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!
Sounds like a pretty good snack to eat in front of the TV.
Instant mashed potatoes with American cheese melted in, and a variety of seasonings, butter, toppings etc. It’s a great, cheap way to make a bowl out of random leftovers, protein or whatever. But I wouldn’t dare serve it to someone.
‘quickadilla’ I’ll slap a tortilla on a cold pan, turn on the heat and build it right in the pan while it heats up with shredded cheese and left over meat. Takes 5 minutes and it’s at least as good as Taco Bell, and actually warm and melted.
More of a meal I’d actually be willing to share, but not brag about because it’s sort of a bastardization of cultures. But I’ll often make a curry using Japanese curry blocks, and season chicken in a vaguely Indian style, then put it over rice. Really simple and delicious. I’m kind of proud of it but I wouldn’t even know how to explain it to someone, much less actually serve it.
Sandines and kraut with mustard and caraway. I only eat it when I’m alone and have time to brush my teeth afterward. So good though and I’m full for hours.
Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.
That’s just a hotdog, no?
I thought that it was fairly normal… until you got to the malt vinegar.
…malt vinegar krauts the kraut: sounds delicious…
I blend 2 eggs with a banana, and I fry it as if it’s a pancake, with butter. It doesn’t hold together, so it keeps coming out as if it’s weird scrambled eggs. But it’s delicious, the healthiest kind of pancake (with a drop of raw honey afterwards).
Omelet composed of >60% frozen vegetables and seasoned with soy sauce.
It doesn’t hold itself together at all and it looks disgusting.
Sliced tomatoes, raw chikory, hard boiled egg with home made mayo.
This sounds great!!
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?
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.
These are all questions I didn’t know I had. OP, please indulge us!
An entire loaf of French bread from the super market and a sobe (at least back when sobe existed)
My invented dish I call “Scrumpy”. You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add
southernhot sauce like Frank’s, and some Cajun seasoning.It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I’ve done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top… Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
…that’s - odd…
Frank’s is not a southern hot sauce.
Noted, thanks! What do I call that style then? I thought it was southern style.
You might call it “Buffalo style” since it’s commonly the primary component of Buffalo sauce.
Tabasco and Crystal are classic southern hot sauces.
I’ll show my ignorance here, too, because I thought crystal was a similar flavor. That’s actually why I said southern style.
Crystal has a less harsh flavor than Tabasco and Frank’s. They’re all similar, of course, but there are subtle variations; thus, in my opinion, they each have different applications.
Don’t forget Louisiana… My wife’s favorite.
Oh, I didn’t forget.
Crystal meth?
You’re saying it’s from New York City?
NEW YORK CITY?!?!
Ok this I sort of understand because I used to make Nacho Potatoes. Nacho Potatoes are baked potatoes but with the toppings of nachos. Lettuce is essential because it gives a crunch that enhances the texture of the dish.
Nacho up your fries, include full trimmings.
I’ve had this at pubs (in the US). It was called “Irish Nachos.” They were pretty tasty.
When I’m really lazy I make spaghetti with butter and bread crumbs.
That has to be a real dish. Those ingredients are so fundamental that I would be surprised if that wasn’t keeping peasants alive for the last twenty two hundred years.
The shame I feel when I make it is very real.
That feeling isn’t shame, it’s carbs! You just have bread and butter in a different configuration. It isn’t healthy, but it is wholesome.
Yeah it’s called Pasta ca’muddica and has a whole bunch of variations such as adding anchovies.
Add garlic (powder), parmesan and chili flakes.
Now you’re talking
Microwaved pepperoni chips.
Put pepperoni on a plate with some paper towels, microwave for one minute. The apartment will smell either heavenly or sickening for the next hour, depending on how much you like pepperoni.
Works with any sliced sausage really
Not regularly, but my family was super poor for awhile and our delicacies then are my comfort food now.
We loved hot dog weiners in the Kraft dinner, which is a fair approximation because we couldn’t afford KD back then. Ground pepper, and also ketchup when we could afford to be fully blasphemous.
Mom makes a wicked liver-and-onions, but I suspect it wasn’t liver so much as tongue, as it was cheap as hell back then. My sister knows the truth and she will.not eat ‘liver’ again.
Blasphemy and lies, that’s it.
Canadian as hell.
I’m surprised beef tongue was cheap over there back then.
Beef tongue here is one of those “special delicacy meat” that I usually get to eat during really fancy feasts. It’s probably a pain in the ass to cook, but the texture is really something. So is beef cheek, but that’s a different topic.
My ex’s family had this prized dish: you warm milk with pieces of bread chucked in there, add sugar. Then you put cinnamon on top.
It was this weird milky-bready cinnamon soup that actually tasted pretty great and was perfect on a cold day, or whenever she needed some TLC food
Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)
My parents had that as youth, they called it Milk Sop
That sounds somewhat like bread and butter pudding, but I’m not sure
…when i was a kid in puerto rico one of my friends brought a can of vienna sausages to our camp-out and i thought they were sooooo fancy, like seriously epicurean food…
…i think we ate them with little bottles of tonic water, like old canada dry with the peel-away polystyrene labels, you know, sophisticated like james bond in moonraker…
hot dogs in Kraft Dinner
If I had a million dollars,
we wouldn’t have to eat Kraft Dinner.But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we’d just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That’s right, all the fanciest-, Dijon ketchup, mm, mm…but not a real green dress, that’s cruel…
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.
