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.
Tamale pie- canned corn, chili (no beans bc blegh), canned tamales (really these are even optional despite the name of the dish), and Swiss cheese all melted together in ooey gooey goodness.
Also I love the raw dough from those biscuits in the can that pops
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.
I call it the cinco de mayo revenge: Laughing Cow cheese (it’s French) melted in a tortilla.
my special treat that my partner hates for me to make but gobbles up bowls of: White Rice, Ground Beef, and Cream of Mushroom soup (campbells can). White rice like you like it, Ground the beef and salt generously after draining grease (helps the beef pop out more in the taste), then I usually do half of the milk called for with the soup.
Bed of RIce in a bowl, ground beef on top, then pour the cream of mushroom soup on it. Such a warm and crazy good taste but I get looks whenever I bring it up so I don't make it that often unless it's just me for a few days.
That does sound really good and sort of appropriate, like a curried beef or something. Idk why anybody gives you a look lol it's a protein in sauce served over rice, what's even weird about it?
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?
Sandwiches with potato chips between them
That's not weird. Chips, fries, or tots can/should be in the sandwich.
Toast, mayo, fried egg, salt. Then a liberal amount of Dave’s ghost pepper sauce on top, like a teaspoon.
I’m the only person I know of who will eat this specific hot sauce. Other hot sauce lovers will not touch it, because it tastes like capsaicin extract and poison. But I’m weirdly addicted to it. I own better tasting sauces but they don’t scratch the itch the right way.
I haven't had this in a while but one if my lazy bachelor meals was baked potatoes with kim chee and sour cream.
I'd eat that.
Sourdough with chunky peanut butter, ground mustard, and aioli.
Hell no I’d rather starve
When I'm home alone, I'll sometimes revert to my "first apartment" mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautéed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.
Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn't serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.
This sounds like Guy Fieri got super high and wanted chef boyardee.
Id eat it.
Try it :)
fermented shrimp paste, pickled bird eyes chili, soy sauce, fresh mangoes and plain white rice. topped with a heaping pinch of msg.
This is the first comment on this post I actually winced at
Sliced tomatoes, raw chikory, hard boiled egg with home made mayo.
Germany has brands of bottled curry sauce that are great on white rice.
I've never seen them in the US... but mayonnaise and curry powder is close enough.
Ranch noodles, though, I've served to guests all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. You squirt ranch dressing all over fresh elbow / corkscrew pasta, and ideally cool overnight. It's two-ingredient pasta salad. Ranch is buttermilk, garlic, dill, and a bunch of other spices. Great as a side. Add pepper.
I made a face reading that until you said "ideally cool overnight" and it immediately sounded like I want to try it as a pasta salad.
Mix 2 different instant noodle products, Carbonara Buldak and Neoguri and create a sodium overload saucy cheesy ramen. We only have it max twice a month though because it’s so high in sodium.
I keep a bouquet of dry pasta on my desk that I absentmindedly munch on while I work.
Sometimes I'll eat a whole head of cabbage over a day peeling it leaf by leaf.
My brother and I used to eat raw spaghetti from the box as kids. Idk why, we just liked the crunch and the taste lol.
Are you a field mouse?
Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Rice with ketchup
Ketchup with ketchup
I love ketchup
From one ketchup connoisseur to another, I started with and continue to eat crackers, cheese, and ketchup. Saltine crackers, like the crappy soup kind (don't get anything fancy), Cheddar cheese (mild works but sharp is a better hit), and then whatever ketchup but I tend to do heinz or store brands since it tends to have more of a vinegary taste.
You love tomato flavored sugar
Guilty as charged
Cinnamon raisin bagels with lox and cream cheese
Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast along with a shot of espresso.
I got it from my dad. He used to have them with tea.
