I don't think I've made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃

I'll go first...I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I've had ever since I've had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven't damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

I eat kale or broccoli for breakfast, usually with mustard or pepper sauce.

I give my kiwis a good rinse and sorta "scrub" their skin (is it called a peel on kiwis?)with my palms before I bite into them skin and all like am apple. I have had more than one person audibly gasp and ask me what the hell I'm doing when they see me eating kiwis that way.

The spoon and digging as a kid was fun, but as an adult the time lost to cutting and spooning kiwi flesh from its skin just isn't worth it. And if a kiwi is properly ripe anyway the bitter skin actually contrasts the sweet fleshy insides quite nicely.

Not incredibly weird but mist people are surprised when I eat multiple breakfast cereals together, like a salad, rather than just one. I like Wheatabix with shredded wheats, raisin wheats and fruit and fibre often. I do usually have it with almond milk though, rather than plain, so not too weird.

probably heart for me these days.

it's my favorite cut of meat, and everybody agrees if I cook it for them, but until they try it I always get weird. looks or blank stares and confused questions.

I really enjoy creamy chicken pot pie with white vinegar on top. I also enjoy sauerkraut on my tuna melts...

I like acid.

There is a cheese in my country- olomoucké tvarůžky, which is in itself acquired taste.

But I made "Loštický zázrak" which is this cheese pickled in beer, as a homebrewer I used half fermented beer. So smelly cheese fermented with beer.

You can smell this concoction in whole house when the jar was opened, but the taste was amazing.

I like drinking diet tonic water straight. As far as I know, it's not generally-consumed as a drink, just used as a mixer. More sour than most sodas.

I don't know if it's super weird, but I don't believe that it's the primary intent for the thing.

I've never met anyone IRL who understands how good a peanutbutter and nutella sandwich is.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I could see that working. I never liked PB&J due to texture issues, but always liked the idea of sweet + salty/savory.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

this is an interesting answer to me.

I'm literally the only person in my life. I know who doesn't like peanut butter and Nutella mixed together, but everybody I know loves the combination.

Not super weird but I usually get looks from others when I bust out a tub of cottage cheese as a dip for my chips. Spruced up version; Cottage cheese, chopped pickles, (Cholula chili garlic)hot sauce and a small dap of sesame oil is like the perfect ruffles dip.

Mustard with Poutine. That stuff is amazing

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sorry...mustard with poutine, or poutine with mustard.

The way it's written it looks like mustard in the main item and you add a bit of poutine to it.

Beetroot juice and beetroot based dishes, pikled lemons and other citrus fruits, sweet meat.

I like to experiment with food in general, try some old recipes like before american vegetables old.

Milk mixed with orange juice looks terrible but tastes like an orange creamsicle.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (7 children)

That's a very popular drink here in the Dominican Republic, probably in Puerto Rico and Cuba too, you have to know the trick so the milk and orange juice mix well tho. It's called "morir soñando" (which means "to die dreaming" in Spanish) look it up if you feel like to.

Mother of the groom gave an impromptu speech at the reception about how her son is like milk and orange juice. It was as meandering as it was long.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The groom looked like chunky vomit?

uncooked pasta, uncooked noodles, flour, sugar, whole apple (with seeds and that wood thingy on apple), nails (not eat but chew and spit out), coffee beans. There might be more but can't think of right now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I can relate, eating the whole apple is so efficient, even the wood thingy.

If they meant nails like fingernails I'm completely lost. But I used to with regular nails for the metal taste. I almost died as a kid because I used to suck on small nails and screws. Surprisingly that's not what stopped me from sucking on them. It was because i unconsciously bit down one once and that shit hurt. Used to do coins too but when I found out what germs were and how many germs are on money I stopped immediately.

That is definitely why I asked 😅thanks!!

Nice! Do you have any particular favourite noodles or pasta shapes to eat?
