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!

    Not me but on The German cannabis community (C/cannabis@feddit.org) we recently had a post of someone eating yogurette (chocolate with fruits) with mustard while being high. It also included a rating of different mustard variations and how well they work for this.

    I agree!! Crunchy uncooked spaghetti or lasagne sheet is a forbidden treat! I do rather enjoy it despite it being “horrifying”

    My other nomination is Cheese and Jam sandwiches (jelly for americans) - a little savoury squish with my sweet is just lovely!

      Love uncooked wholewheat spaghetti! You can easily select a given diameter and it’s easy to eat. I think the wholewheat version has this nice earthy flavour and it’s a little more brittle than normal pasta. Craving some right now!

    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.

      Raw flour is not recommended for direct consumption because it can actually carry foodborne illnesses. I suppose you could “cook” it in the oven with no other ingredients to have a similar experience but killing any potential pathogens.

            It really does. I’m one of those who like cookie dough more than actual cookies, especially when it comes to chocolate chip. Leave out eggs, add like a tablespoon more butter, and toast the flour beforehand, and you wind up with a truly excellent edible cookie dough. In my book, the nuttiness of the flour is makes it even better than regular dough.

              I think it’s possible to pasteurize eggs to make them safe to eat like they do with eggnog. Don’t quote me on that, though.

              Also make sure to brown the butter if you want an even richer, nuttier flavor.

                I think it’s possible to pasteurize eggs

                For sure it’s possible. Like you said, they do it for eggnog. I used to work for an ice cream company and we’d do it by thoroughly whisking them and then slooooowly stirring them into a hot mix of cream and sugar and whatnot. Not totally sure how you’d do it for this but I’m sure there’s a way; maybe if you’re getting the butter hot you could use that? But also not sure what benefit eggs would impart here. Maybe an extremely subtle flavor but as far as I can tell their purpose in cookies is their structure, which isn’t all that relevant for an edible dough.

                Browning the butter is an interesting idea, I might try that. I worry it could reduce the moisture content though; the reason I add extra is to make up for the lack of moisture from eggs and there’s already so much, I wouldn’t want to add even more butter or oil lol. Maybe I could straight up add water but then I usually freeze it and idk if that would be a problem long term

                  I wouldn’t recommend adding too much non-fatty liquids in a cookie dough if any, as that will result in gluten formation. For cookies, oil should be the sole source of moisture (or in the case of butter, mainly oil). Eggs don’t really have the same effect as water-based liquids.

                  I’ve made cookies many times with vegetable oil instead of butter, and it works out very well.

        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.

        please elaborate

        This is uncalled for, to say the least. The very idea of someone chewing on (clipped) nails was problematic enough

    This one might be a little different.

    I eat only once a day, but it’s a big one, right before bed.
    When I order takeout from… say my favorite burger place in town, usually a double cheeseburger, I ask that they apply no mayo, mustard nor ketchup, as I will reheat it all on the air fryer/toaster oven then apply condiments, don’t want the bread to be getting soggy for hours before dinner.

    I also tell them to put the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles on the side, for the same reason. I bring my own reusable containers for the separate things, to create no plastic/styrofoam waste. That includes tiny ones for the dressing and for the runny cheese for the fries.

    Which reminds me of the fries - back home, hours later, I will refry them for a minute or two, they come out almost as good as new.

    But this all being home, I can also play around with the burger. Such as stuffing it with a full onion, thinly sliced and caramelized on low heat with olive oil, pepper and a dash of Lawry’s seasoned salt. Maybe also sliced mushrooms sautéed in butter. I’ll also add a few extra slices of yellow heirloom tomato.

    One last thing: while the onions are caramelizing on the toaster oven, I’ll also put another tray with a handful of asparagus in olive oil, pepper and garlic salt.

    Like a friend described it, I like tuning the burger!
    As in “car tuning”, custom burger mods.

    Not me, but an ex-girlfriend. She would fill a bowl with potato chips (crisps to you Brits) and then pour ketchup all over and eat it like a bowl of cereal with a spoon.

    Peanutbutter sandwiches with spicy, vinegar-based condiments instead of sweet ones. Mustard, cilantro chutney, peperoncini, that kind of thing. It’s fantastic.
