What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else? (lemmy.world)

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?

I knew someone who would eat a tomato for dinner with a few slices of carrots. Nothing baked, just a plain uncut tomato and slices of carrots.

I'm talking a functionnal human being, knowing the concept of cooking and the ability to walk to their kitchen with such a "dish" as they would call it. Not vegetarian either. They did like meat and whatnot. Saddest "meal" I've ever had the horror to laid my eyes upon.

I don’t care much about the what but the how. Biting into a whole tomato WILL make a mess. Simply cutting it in half greatly reduces the chance of that. If they already had a knife why not use it on the tomato. People are weird.

I'm a whole tomato-eater, and there is a way to eat them without being messy. The mess is divided into chambers, and you basically go one chamber at a time, suck out the mess in the chamber and then move on to the next.

...i can only eat firm roma tomatoes: gooshy tomatoes wig me out, always have...

I was thinking that too, but maybe it was one of those hard, white-on-the-inside, unripe tomatoes.

The whole thing was so surreal that I never bothered to ask about it.
