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!
Milk mixed with orange juice looks terrible but tastes like an orange creamsicle.
That’s a very popular drink here in the Dominican Republic, probably in Puerto Rico and Cuba too, you have to know the trick so the milk and orange juice mix well tho. It’s called “morir soñando” (which means “to die dreaming” in Spanish) look it up if you feel like to.
Mustard with Poutine. That stuff is amazing
uncooked pasta, uncooked noodles, flour, sugar, whole apple (with seeds and that wood thingy on apple), nails (not eat but chew and spit out), coffee beans. There might be more but can’t think of right now.
I can relate, eating the whole apple is so efficient, even the wood thingy.
Nice! Do you have any particular favourite noodles or pasta shapes to eat?
Raw flour is not recommended for direct consumption because it can actually carry foodborne illnesses. I suppose you could “cook” it in the oven with no other ingredients to have a similar experience but killing any potential pathogens.
But it tastes good :3
Yes, but cooking it at low heat can add a nice nutty flavor to it!
Uncooked potatoes. Always gets me weird looks.
There was some news story i saw a long time ago where a crazy christian married couple were still virgins and the guy said every time he gets hot and bothered he just bites into a raw potato. Then shows him doing it. I laughed my ass off
Because that’s not weird; it’s unsafe. Most people will get an upset stomach from eating more than a small amount of raw potato and if you eat a large amount, you could get solanine poisoning.
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.
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.
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…
I like drinking diet tonic water straight. As far as I know, it’s not generally-consumed as a drink, just used as a mixer. More sour than most sodas.
I don’t know if it’s super weird, but I don’t believe that it’s the primary intent for the thing.
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’ve never met anyone IRL who understands how good a peanutbutter and nutella sandwich is.
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.
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)
Not incredibly weird but mist people are surprised when I eat multiple breakfast cereals together, like a salad, rather than just one. I like Wheatabix with shredded wheats, raisin wheats and fruit and fibre often. I do usually have it with almond milk though, rather than plain, so not too weird.
I like dipping meat sticks, preferably Peperami (brand here), into fruit flavoured yoghurt sometimes.
Upvote because I cannot process this.
probably heart for me these days.
it’s my favorite cut of meat, and everybody agrees if I cook it for them, but until they try it I always get weird. looks or blank stares and confused questions.
Chicken or beef hearts?
both, I haven’t had a heart I don’t like. I started eating barbecued chicken hearts first, and then I realized they sold pork and beef hearts in the supermarkets so I started buying those and those are such good cuts of meat for stir frying or Hot pot or whatever, such a stronger flavor and perfect texture for me since I like lean meat, so yeah if I see a heart, I’m eating it.
Do you have a way of cooking them so they aren’t too chewy, or is that the texture you like?
I always found chicken hearts to be a bit chewy, but they were probably overcooked.
Edit: never mind, didn’t scroll down far enough.
Chicken hearts in particular are usually cut with the fat left on them and it’s a pain to remove because they’re so small, but pork or beef hearts are really easy to cut the fat away and then you just have firm, lean flavorful meat.
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.
I really enjoy creamy chicken pot pie with white vinegar on top. I also enjoy sauerkraut on my tuna melts…
I like acid.
i put Kimchi on my tuna melts lol. The acid really helps
Peanut butter and sweet onion (Walla Walla onions where I live) sandwiches. I prefer them on a plain bagel.
White cheddar macaroni and steamed green peas mixed together, particularly with fish sticks
