chips + jam

specifically, kettle chips (plain salted or unsalted) with a nice strawberry or blackberry jam to dip them in...

where it really gets controversial is that I like to do this with the bonne maman jams 🙈

Plain sour cream.

Cheez-its dipped in melted chocolate

Pesto on a bagel sounds good as h*ck tho

I’m one of the teeming dozens who like circus peanuts and necco wafers. I may, however, be the only one under fifty years old to do so.

Peanut butter and jelly (aka jam) with white sandwich bread with a generous amount of Doritos or cheez-its in it. One of my favorite meals!

Toasted sandwich bread with tomato slices, salt, and mayo. I could die just thinking about them. Add corn on the cob as a side.

A slice of sandwich bread with mustard, American cheese, and onion. Stick in the broiler to melt thecl cheese and brown the bread, and serve. RIP grandma.

I love making steamed artichokes stuffed with pecorino cheese, garlic and bread crumbs. A recipe from my grandmother.

If I find a good bell pepper, I will eat it whole like an apple.

When I get a beverage/food garnished with an herb like a sprig of mint or rosemary, I like to nibble on them. My friends and girlfriend sort of lost their minds when I took a bit out of a cinnamon stick from a cocktail.

Make a bowl of chili, make a peanut butter sandwich, drop the peanut butter sandwich in the bowl of chill, eat it. I think this is a midwestern thing and everybody else thinks I'm nuts until they try it.

I used to eat onion and mustard sandwiches years ago. They're not bad, actually.

Potato chips with Ketchup. No shame, no regrets.

This may sound weird, but I like eating sour cream with a spoon sometimes

My wife would say: Kipper Snacks

Stinky fish is delicious.

My girlfriend and her entire family think I'm an alien for drinking milk whenever I have popcorn. It doesn't even register as a strange combination to me. I think they're very complementary flavors.

turns out you can eat citrus fruits peel and all

I didn't even know the liquorice + chocolate combo was a thing, and was very irked by it when my Icelandic wife introduced me to it (it's a huge candy trope in Iceland).

I've gotten used to it now, though, and I even enjoy some variants.

I loved cream cheese and grape jelly sandwiches when I was a kid! Nobody else was convinced that it’d be good, but it certainly works for me

@ffmike@beehaw.org what kind of bagels are we talking here? Pesto on a toasted everything sounds amazing.

We make chips out of Plantago major with a little oil, salt, garlic, and pepper. I once got a stern talking to about eating the fruit from a 'Kousa' dogwood from the owner of the landscaping company I was working for. In my defense, they were shared with the owner of the tree, who had never sprayed any -cides there.

I like pineapple on pizza, but I think there's only one specific sort of pizza where it's actually good. You need a good barbeque sauce base, jalapenos, and some sort of meat (I prefer chicken and bacon). The usual ham, pineapple and tomato sauce version can get in the sea.

Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle for breakfast when staying in a hotel.

Also being English and not liking English breakfasts.

Tahini as butter on a sandwich. It's delicious and goes with almost any sweet condiment!

Greek yogurt and natural peanut for breakfast. Not really that odd in my opinion but the face of the people I tell that too say otherwise.

microwaved cookies (they're better warm)
