I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?
Cinnamon raisin bagels with lox and cream cheese
Id visit.
Peanut butter out of the jar.
I love peanut butter but on its own it feels horrible in the mouth!
Skip your mouth and just shovel it directly into your gullet
Fresh tomato and dry roasted peanuts.
Actually I might try it on someone …
I’m trying to envision this. Is the tomato sliced or diced? Are the peanuts whole or crushed? Is this a spoon dish or do you use your hands?
These are all questions I didn’t know I had. OP, please indulge us!
Either slices cut in half or diced and the peanuts whole, in separate dishes. A half mouthful of peanuts followed by a half mouthful of tomato. Never mix the two together before eating! I prefer to use a spoon.
Y’all are horrifying. That’s all I came here to say.
I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.
Then you’re ready to try all the suggestions here!
I take pride in that remark.
And here I am, bookmarking this post… I have meals planned for the next 3 weeks!
Instant noodles, peanut butter, and sriracha. Crack an egg in near the end.
It’s actually pretty close to pad thai, but screams of struggle meal
That sounds delicious and I am going to make that.
Minus the egg, that’s also a popular backpacking meal.
Update: This was pretty tasty. I’ll probably use just a spoonful of PB next time. I used half the ramen seasoning packet and added a little fish sauce as well. Scallions would definitely kick it up a notch, but that involves significantly more work.
I wouldn’t serve instant noodles to guests either, but you have the gourmet version there.
Yeah I definitely started relying on peanuts during my years of unemployment.
Try chopping up a green onion and throwing that in. White bit at the beginning of the boil and the green bits at the end. They’re extremely cheap.
Green onions aren’t cheap everywhere.
In many places in North America field garlic (which is very similar to green onions) grows voraciously in people’s yards in the Spring. Leave a small patch of yard unmowed and you’ll have more than you know what to do with. Just be careful not to mistake it for death camas.
Frugal tip: You can get a lot more life out of green onions by setting them in a jar of water. Trim what you need from the ends, and the plant will grow probably 3-4 times before you need to replace it.
Well I guess I’m trying this next time I buy green onions
i only ever get green onions a few weeks after buying an onion that i didn’t get around to cooking.
Well, I’m no expert, but I believe this is a bit different kind of green onions…
maybe? i’m quite sure you can use them in the same way though. garlic greens are good too. and depending where you live, you can forage good wild options too. my dad’s back yard usually gets a good crop of 3 pointed leeks that i would harvest when i lived with him.
You’re probably right. I have never personally seen them more expensive than like $1.25 for a half dozen.
We do the same thing! Had it yesterday for breakfast. We’ve been buying Ramen packs from Costco that are pretty spicy so we’ve been skipping the Sriracha though.
Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.
I used to work at a bakery and my favourite thing to do was bring home a fresh baguette and eat it with blue cheese.
This sounded really good… until the maple syrup thing. Why? Why?!
Don’t get me wrong. Maple syrup is great. On pancakes or so, but this? This truly is an abomination.
Cause there’s nothing quite like the combination of savoury, salty, spicy and sweet.
Other favorites of mine are chocolate chili, and my famous habanero honey salad dressing.I get that mixing thing, although it’s virtually non-existent in my country’s cuisine. But still, this one doesn’t feel right at all.
Sounds like something I’d pay 16$ to have served by a malnourished hipster on a cutting board to a table lit by a bar bulb as an appetizer.
I bake a mean creamy chicken (like you’d find in a pot pie) but, for whatever fucking reason, I absolutely love that flavor spliced with white vinegar. I have a deep love of pushing tangy sour to the border of spiciness.
Ever try it with malt vinegar?
Yup, that’s also pretty good! I think it pairs better with white vinegar though.
I’ve seen that flavor profile referred to as “squirrel gravy.”
A strong acidic zing is missing from a lot of dishes.
Generally I keep white vinegar around specifically for its chemical properties rather than its flavor, though.
Just white bread with a slice of cheese and spiced ketchup.
Refried beans, rice, sirachcha, and too much mayo. Sometimes I eat it with bread like a sad sack sandwich.
Throw a potato in whatever form you want and roll that up in flatbread. I’d eat that in a heartbeat.
I am disappointed with all of you. Please go to your room.
Sorry dude, that room is the kitchen.
When I’m really lazy I make spaghetti with butter and bread crumbs.
Add garlic (powder), parmesan and chili flakes.
Now you’re talking
That has to be a real dish. Those ingredients are so fundamental that I would be surprised if that wasn’t keeping peasants alive for the last twenty two hundred years.
The shame I feel when I make it is very real.
That feeling isn’t shame, it’s carbs! You just have bread and butter in a different configuration. It isn’t healthy, but it is wholesome.
Yeah it’s called Pasta ca’muddica and has a whole bunch of variations such as adding anchovies.
Had me until the yeast.
Peanut butter, jelly, and Cheeto burrito.
This sounds like one of those dishes you learn about in prison.
Wheat tortilla or are you using something more exotic?
I’ve done white, wheat, and the “Extreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb” tortillas. They’re all about the same.
My invented dish I call “Scrumpy”. You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add southern hot sauce like Frank’s, and some Cajun seasoning.
It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I’ve done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top… Very flexible weeknight meal.
I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.
…that’s - odd…
Frank’s is not a southern hot sauce.
Noted, thanks! What do I call that style then? I thought it was southern style.
You might call it “Buffalo style” since it’s commonly the primary component of Buffalo sauce.
Tabasco and Crystal are classic southern hot sauces.
Crystal meth?
I’ll show my ignorance here, too, because I thought crystal was a similar flavor. That’s actually why I said southern style.
Crystal has a less harsh flavor than Tabasco and Frank’s. They’re all similar, of course, but there are subtle variations; thus, in my opinion, they each have different applications.
Don’t forget Louisiana… My wife’s favorite.
Oh, I didn’t forget.
You’re saying it’s from New York City?
NEW YORK CITY?!?!
Ok this I sort of understand because I used to make Nacho Potatoes. Nacho Potatoes are baked potatoes but with the toppings of nachos. Lettuce is essential because it gives a crunch that enhances the texture of the dish.
Nacho up your fries, include full trimmings.
I’ve had this at pubs (in the US). It was called “Irish Nachos.” They were pretty tasty.
Earlier this week I had curry on nacho chips because I made some really good curry and didnot have the energy to make the actual nacho accoutrements that I had planned on doing
It was really good
That sounds baller and something you’d find in Texas hill country.
I live in Scotland so, uhh… guess we’ve got the hills and a general attitude towards the bigger country we’re a part of? Not a lot else in common, but still
Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It’s like Indian poutine. Amazing.
Just tried a new Indian place near me that has masala fries and poutine on the menu
Have you tried palak paneer pizza? It might be a Baltimore thing. So good.
That is relevant to my interests. I’ll have to pay a visit to Baltimore.
