I'll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

Grasshoppers, they're delicious with lemon.

Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle for breakfast when staying in a hotel.

Also being English and not liking English breakfasts.

Haven't eaten it since I was 16 or so, but I loved toast (white bread) with ketchup and nutella (yes, spread on the same side, not like one half ketchup and the other half nutella)

Edit because it came to my mind: My girlfriend finds it really weird that I like to spread mayonnaise on my meat-bread (like proper bread with salami or other sliced meat sitting on top of mayonnaise)

Pesto on a bagel sounds good as h*ck tho

I’m one of the teeming dozens who like circus peanuts and necco wafers. I may, however, be the only one under fifty years old to do so.

Probably the most tame one in here, but I love to mix mayo with a little mustard to dip my french fries in. Baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, seasoning salt, and malt vinegar are also really good.

A friend once turned me on to peanut butter and tuna sandwiches.

I... do not know why I thought that was good at one point, now that I think about it.

Salt, fat, sugar, protein, your body craves that stuff.

I love eating a raw potato like an apple, for whatever reason. Any time I'm cooking a dish with potatoes, I'll wash and peel one for me to eat. My boyfriend looked like I had grown a third arm the first time he saw me do it.

It's the perfect mix of crunchy and juicy, but not sweet.

I've been experimenting with hummus on stuff. My favorite do far was using it in place of salad dressing with some vinaigrette.

My wife would say: Kipper Snacks

Stinky fish is delicious.

@ffmike@beehaw.org what kind of bagels are we talking here? Pesto on a toasted everything sounds amazing.

We make chips out of Plantago major with a little oil, salt, garlic, and pepper. I once got a stern talking to about eating the fruit from a 'Kousa' dogwood from the owner of the landscaping company I was working for. In my defense, they were shared with the owner of the tree, who had never sprayed any -cides there.

[–] ffmike@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Most of the time plain Thomas brand from the supermarket. So barely bagels at all.

Frozen corn.. Straight from the bag.

[–] treeantlers@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Did this all the time as a kid. … And as an adult, sort of. I have a recipe for a chilled corn and edamame salad with a soy sauce/sesame dressing. I make it with frozen veggies and sometimes if I’m feeling impatient I’ll eat it without fully thawing them.

[–] Trones@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

That actually sounds like a great snack on a hot summer day!

[–] dark_stang@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

Make a bowl of chili, make a peanut butter sandwich, drop the peanut butter sandwich in the bowl of chill, eat it. I think this is a midwestern thing and everybody else thinks I'm nuts until they try it.

Cheez-its dipped in melted chocolate

Potato chips with Ketchup. No shame, no regrets.

My mom grew up poor and in the south, and one of her comfort "poverty foods" is a bologna and peanut butter sandwich. They're delicious.

Another one that's really good is Ritz crackers in milk.

fish heads... they're just so much cheaper than the rest of the fish and delicious in the air fryer. also i'll eat the tails on shrimp.

[–] silent_g@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought I was the only one. I've never met anyone else who does this, and everyone thinks I'm a freak when they see me do it.

french fries dipped in mayo? 3/4 Coffee w/creamer 1/4 Diet Dr.Pepper mixed?

[–] gaydarless@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

chips + jam

specifically, kettle chips (plain salted or unsalted) with a nice strawberry or blackberry jam to dip them in...

where it really gets controversial is that I like to do this with the bonne maman jams 🙈

[–] silent_g@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I could imagine the sweet and salty goes well together. I like when a charcuterie has a nice jam and brie. A cracker or piece of bread with brie, prosciutto, and jam, I could eat so many of those.
