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?

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.

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.

Weird, but I also kind of want dry spaghetti now.

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

Yeah I definitely started relying on peanut proteins 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.

You’re probably right. I have never personally seen them more expensive than like $1.25 for a half dozen.

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.

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.

I wouldn’t serve instant noodles to guests either, but you have the gourmet version there.

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.

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.

I wish my Costco had spicy ramen packets. I’ll check again later today just to be sure.

Minus the egg, that’s also a popular backpacking meal.

Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.

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.

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.

Try some sweet jam on a sharp cheese. It’s such a good blend. Some people mix mustard and jelly but I think you can skip that for blue cheese.

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.

Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I’m feeling fancy/not lazy I’ll add some chopped shallots or scallions.
