Food and Cooking

Shrimp tails, especially on fried shrimp; the crunchy texture is great. Not strange but something that I usually get looks or comments about.

I've gotten my family used to it enough that they will give me the leftover tails from their plates at a restaurant.

Rice porridge with milk instead of water. It’s a thing where my parents are from but I’ve never heard of anyone else having it before. It goes great with nuts. I prefer bbq flavoured peanuts, but anything sweet and salty will work.

Type of sushi called Uni (sea urchin)... more specific, it's gonads, although most people don't even know that piece of info. They just don't like the color, texture or taste.

To me it's more like a creamy raw oyster without the worry of biting a piece of shell.

I mix Coke and Orange Juice to wake up in the morning sometimes. My wife that dips steak in ranch dressing and friend that eats peanut butter and ham sandwiches hate it.

I like pineapple on pizza, but I think there's only one specific sort of pizza where it's actually good. You need a good barbeque sauce base, jalapenos, and some sort of meat (I prefer chicken and bacon). The usual ham, pineapple and tomato sauce version can get in the sea.

A dash of yogurt in instant noodles (specifically Indomie). Also, pesto on bagel is indeed reaaaally good. Especially if you add cream cheese, a fried egg, some spinach and make a kind of sandwich out if it.

my fiancé eats this food called balut, it’s like a half grown chicken or something.. definitely odd

turns out you can eat citrus fruits peel and all

Octopus salad; it's a go to in our house since we are Mediterranean mutts - most people I tell (or who have seen me eat this) think its too gross to bear, lol.

@[email protected] 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.

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.

Bread with butter and chocolate powder on top

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

One of my regular breakfast rotations is toast with creamcheese topped with either canned sardines or canned smoked oysters. Quick and tasty, but admittedly kinda weird.
