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?

    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.

    my special treat that my partner hates for me to make but gobbles up bowls of: White Rice, Ground Beef, and Cream of Mushroom soup (campbells can). White rice like you like it, Ground the beef and salt generously after draining grease (helps the beef pop out more in the taste), then I usually do half of the milk called for with the soup.

    Bed of RIce in a bowl, ground beef on top, then pour the cream of mushroom soup on it. Such a warm and crazy good taste but I get looks whenever I bring it up so I don’t make it that often unless it’s just me for a few days.

      That does sound really good and sort of appropriate, like a curried beef or something. Idk why anybody gives you a look lol it’s a protein in sauce served over rice, what’s even weird about it?

        I think it’s a combination of things, like I’m making ground beef so your mind goes taco but you’re getting a soupy bowl. Also, cream of mushroom soup is just one of those weird soups that doesn’t look or sound good on most people’s radar (see it mostly by itself or with a chicken recipe) but always kicks off a casserole or dish the right way. Then I bust out the rice and the confusion just sets in till they realize I’m already done lol.

      I used to eat this all the time, but with instant mash. It looks like vomit, but it is delicious. ❤️

    I bake a mean creamy chicken (like you’d find in a pot pie) but, for whatever fucking reason, I absolutely love that flavor spliced with white vinegar. I have a deep love of pushing tangy sour to the border of spiciness.

      A strong acidic zing is missing from a lot of dishes.

      Generally I keep white vinegar around specifically for its chemical properties rather than its flavor, though.

    When I’m home alone, I’ll sometimes revert to my “first apartment” mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautéed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.

    Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn’t serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.

    Guacamole with cottage cheese. The Polish side of my family loves it, but I wouldn’t dare add it to my guac when making it for the Mexican half of my family.

    Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.

    I cook it when I’m in a rush or tired, it’s done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.

    But I would never feed it to anybody else, it’s lazy bro/fitness food lol.

    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.

    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 lay 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)

      I’m trying to envision this. Is the tomato sliced or diced? Are the peanuts whole or crushed? Is this a spoon dish or do you use your hands?

        Either slices cut in half or diced and the peanuts whole, in separate dishes. A half mouthful of peanuts followed by a half mouthful of tomato. Never mix the two together before eating! I prefer to use a spoon.
