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!
Tinned fish on toast — mackerel or sardines. Criminally underrated dish
Fully agree, ideally sardines in oil or mackerel in tomato sauce with peas (not sure the latter is a thing outside of northern Europe?).
Toast needs a health layer of butter to keep the sauce from mushing it up as well.
Mackerel in tomato sauce is my go to snack. I just eat it with a fork straight from the tin
I’d like to try that on a crunchy baguette.
Can’t go wrong with spiced Nuri’s
But that’s not weird at all!
gasp that’s a wonderful idea! I should try that.
Actually that sounds awesome.
Biscuits and gravy…
Covered in raw onions, radishes, banana peppers, jalapenos, or any combination of the above. Try it. You’ll like it. Just give them a moderate to fine chop first.
White cheddar macaroni and steamed green peas mixed together, particularly with fish sticks
Moncton represent?
You had me in the first half lol
I do this with tuna instead of fish sticks and it’s pretty solid
Blue cheese and kimchi quesadillas.
Strawberries and balsamic vinegar on vanilla ice cream,
Toasted peanut butter and banana sandwiches…with a violent application of Sriracha.
There is a cheese in my country- olomoucké tvarůžky, which is in itself acquired taste.
But I made “Loštický zázrak” which is this cheese pickled in beer, as a homebrewer I used half fermented beer. So smelly cheese fermented with beer.
You can smell this concoction in whole house when the jar was opened, but the taste was amazing.
Reminds me of Spanish ‘Manchego’ cheese. It’s a semi hard gourmet cheese in most commercial places and it has a slight strong flavour. During a holiday once in the south of Spain, we went searching for authentic Manchego cheese in the Sierra mountains of Andalusia. The cheese we found was a very strongly flavoured hard cheese that was the consistency and taste of hot weathered plastic. Strangely enough, combined with strong Spanish onion slices and it was delicious … and then mixing it again with strong Chorizo sausage, specifically the ones they make in the mountains which taste like well worn and sweated gym socks and it was a whole other thing to get accustomed to.
Manchego is delicious, but it doesn’t usually have a plasticky texture. That one must have been aged for a really long time.
This was high up in the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas … a mountain road that took us all the way to the highest village where they cured the best cured ham in the region. The ham was great but it was so well cured and dry that you could have used them as wedges for woodworking, the same for the cheese, it was hard like a plastic scrapper for auto body work. It might have something to do with the altitude, humidity and temperature because all the cheese we ever saw down at sea level were hard but not that hard.

I have 2.
Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Best served on the lowest tier white bread you can find.
The second is onion rings and maple syrup. I wish someone would do maple battered onion rings because those would definitely be delicious.
Maple onion rings sounds good
Back when Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan had their podcast they would always do a segment where they’d try different foods and had a guest on who’s favorite thing was peanut butter and pickle sandwiches (forget who the guest was). Gotta admit it made me curious because they both liked it too but I wanna know the specific brand of pickles, peanut butter, and bread to get to have the proper experience.
My favourite PB and P sandwiches are built on the junkiest white bread you can find. I’m in Canada, so my top picks are Pom or Betty bread, which are cakey and sweet like Wonder bread. I use unsweetened chunky peanut butter (Kraft brand), and Bick’s garlic dill pickles. I slice my pickles up and blot them so they don’t sog up my trash bread.
These are my favourite brands of peanut butter and pickles outside this monstrosity, so I’d say you can’t go wrong with what you already like.
PB&H.
Peanut butter and honey instead of jelly.
Peanutbutter sandwiches with spicy, vinegar-based condiments instead of sweet ones. Mustard, cilantro chutney, peperoncini, that kind of thing. It’s fantastic.
That one actually looks ok :o
What’s cilantro chutney? I’m picturing some cilantro leaves flavoured relish.
I’ll try with a mix of hoisin sauce and vinegar. With some cilantro leaves and crushed peanuts.
One of my fav sweet toasts is jam + extra hot sriracha. Have you tried it?
It’s a South Asian condiment, usually paired with tamarind sauce. It’s a bright green paste and fairly spicy.
Ok, tonight I’m making this with some pakoras.
drools
I can kind of see it.
One that I like is toasted peanut butter sandwiches with an onion slice in the middle. And dipped in tomato soup is so delicious.
I’ve heard this before, but have yet to try it!
I can see that. I like pb and cheese and I think some banana peppers would kick it up a notch
Pb+cheese??? Wtf?
Yeah dude my favorite is a slice of sharp cheddar but swiss or provolone also work for a more subtle flavor profile
As a lifelong practitioner of all things peanut butter, I guess I will try it! What’s the ideal ratio, 1:1?
I just do a normal pb sandwich amount of pb and then slap a slice of your cheese of choice!
Hawaii toast with mustard.
It goes toast (preferably whole grain) -> large heap of mustard -> ham -> pineapple -> salt -> gouda
I have only ever heard my mom eating it that way but have since co verted a few people.
