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’m not going to put a bowl of lentils and hot sauce in front of a guest.
White bread with mustard, and those dried fried crisy onions sandwiched inside. Gets me through to next meal.
Gnocchi cream and cheddar, with ham if I’m feeling hungry.
It’s for when I don’t have a lot of time but am really hungry.
Kimchi and blue cheese quesadilla.
Cold baked beans straight from the tin, eaten with a spoon. I’m grinning thinking of my dinner guests’ faces as they contemplate their tins.
Corned beef hash right out of the can is alarmingly close to dog food.
And better than it has any right to be.
Peanut butter & white onion sandwich on white bread. Lazy meal.
And at night you can visit the monster world under your bed to play with Maurice and Boy.
Dude I thought I was the only one who remembers little monsters
Fred Savage was in everything…
Yeah he was.
I have Little Monsters to thank for introducing me to Talking Heads. I hear Road to Nowhere and I’m 10 again.
Does your breath clear out a whole theater after eating that?
Raw tagliatelle. I love picking it apart and eating it, it has a satisfying crunch, especially when pieces directly overlap, but I’d be silly to just up and serve a plate of raw tagliatelle to someone 😂
Grits with canned tuna.
Grits with chili paste, fried egg, pork fu.
Sandwich of sardines and mayonnaise and raw onion.
OP, my sweet potato lunch is a Stokes Purple one frozen then baked, topped with goat cheese, pepitas, olive oil and fancy salt. I don’t even like sweet potatoes but like that there’s enough salty/sharp stuff

I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don’t understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It’s already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.
What are grits made of? I’ve never seen them in 40 years but hear about them
Hominy. It’s corn treated with lye, “nixtamalized” so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.
Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.
Grits can be white or yellow corn.
Spicy lettuce hotdogs! Cook them meat sticks up however you want, wrap in lettuce, place in bun. Top with ketchup and habanero Tabasco.
I make a meaty spaghetti sauce with various spices, but I cook the ground beef in the pan at a low simmer for about 2hrs before I even add the tomato sauce, in order for those spices to penetrate the meat.
I call it a nuclear time bomb because it tastes totally normal - very delicious, even - but about 10-15 minutes in, you are reaching for a hand towel to wipe away the sweat which is quite literally dripping off of you. And you have felt NONE of the hot spices on your tongue.
A much quicker dish involves Cæsar dressing, which I add copious amounts of garlic powder to (4-5 tablespoons), then prevent the dressing from solidifying by adding lemon juice, then wrapping up with freshly ground garlic. As in, a paste, *not chopped or minced._ For a salad using a single head of Romaine, the paste alone uses 15-30 garlic cloves depending on size. And this is on top of the garlic powder. Tastes amazing, but it can get garlicky enough to be barely edible. Think the same kind of burn when chewing down on a fresh raw clove. I sometimes get an “addictive overwhelming thirst” for this garlicky dish that has me gorging on it almost exclusively for an entire week.
I ate frozen fish sticks when I was a kid. Just took em out of the freezer and gnawed on them.
Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Rice with ketchup
Ketchup with ketchup
I love ketchup
…i despise ketchup but i still love five way…
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.
Try filipino ketchup. Its made with banana apparently, i would never have known
That sounds amazing but alas, bananas and plantains make my stomach hurt, so I avoid anything related.
Ahh that sucks, sorry to hear!
Add ground beef and worcestershire
I grew up with pasta and ketchup at home.
It was my favourite dish.You love tomato flavored sugar
Guilty as charged
Hey, be fair…
It’s also got a texture that’s different from sugar!
idk how weird this is in terms of everything else in this thread, but peanut butter and pickles on toast is great
Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast with a shot of espresso.
I got it from my dad. He used to have it with tea.
…that’s peculiar and i totally respect it…
Mud
Cocoa powder, sugar, bit of cream. Mix until it’s gritty from sugar, it shouldn’t be too smooth. Extra delicious if some isn’t fully mixed and there are cocoa powder chunks. It could be a topping, or an ingredient in something delicious, but no - eat the whole bowl of sweet gritty chocolatey goodness straight up.
