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?

Sandwiches with potato chips between them

That’s not weird. Chips, fries, or tots can/should be in the sandwich.

That sounds amazing but alas, bananas and plantains make my stomach hurt, so I avoid anything related.

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.

Toast, mayo, fried egg, salt. Then a liberal amount of Dave’s ghost pepper sauce on top, like a teaspoon.

I’m the only person I know of who will eat this specific hot sauce. Other hot sauce lovers will not touch it, because it tastes like capsaicin extract and poison. But I’m weirdly addicted to it. I own better tasting sauces but they don’t scratch the itch the right way.

I love really spicy food but I just don’t like ghost peppers. Is it just spicier than your other sauces?

It’s spicier than most, yes. They launched the sauce back when ghost was still the hottest pepper in the world, and went overboard using extract.

I love the taste of ghost pepper though. It’s a pleasant taste with a linear burn curve that hits straight on. Not like reaper, which lures you into having too much and then rapes you.

My overall favourite pepper is chocolate habanero. Its just the tastiest of them all.

Habaneros are delicious. I actually grew habanadas this year, which are heatless habaneros, so I could get more people to try them. It’s the weirdest thing biting into a pepper and tasting spicy but no heat ever actually comes. My favourite pepper is the trinidad scorpion though. It just tastes so good, but it’s kind of stupid hot.

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.

Honestly, can relate! Had a month-long period when all I craved were carrot and white onion salads with a tiny pinch of salt, a load of ground black pepper, and drowned in vinegar. Used to chop the carrots down into tiny strips.

In your case, you added something, it was a salad with pepper and salt during a time where you were craving something in particular.

What was crazy to me about the story I told was the poor tomato and carrots were unseasoned, bland, resting in the saddest plate I’ve yet to encounter, while the person eating it was considering what was in front of them a meal.

(Not sure why someone would downvote you for your comment by the way)

Ooh, I get it now! Yeah, that sounds unnecessarily spartan. Although healthy, I guess?

Sorry, focused more on the components than the context…

If you are on a diet, this meal has very few kilojoules/calories. Fewer than a single slice of bread.

Wasn’t on a diet. Thankfully, they ate more during lunch and didn’t have any health issues due to eating weirdly but those “meals” were something else…

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

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.
