Tamale pie- canned corn, chili (no beans bc blegh), canned tamales (really these are even optional despite the name of the dish), and Swiss cheese all melted together in ooey gooey goodness.
Also I love the raw dough from those biscuits in the can that pops
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 sautΓ©ed 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.
This sounds like Guy Fieri got super high and wanted chef boyardee.
Id eat it.
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.
My brother and I used to eat raw spaghetti from the box as kids. Idk why, we just liked the crunch and the taste lol.
Yβall are horrifying. Thatβs all I came here to say.
And here I am, bookmarking this post.. I have meals planned for the next 3 weeks!
I take pride in that remark.
I'd love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I've ever eaten.
I call it the cinco de mayo revenge: Laughing Cow cheese (itβs French) melted in a tortilla.
Cream of wheat but then you put a gloop of fruit yoghurt on top. Delicious probiotic fruit gruel.
2nd place goes to microwaved potato
Sourdough with chunky peanut butter, ground mustard, and aioli.
Hell no Iβd rather starve
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.
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.
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
Pasta with ketchup instead of tomato sauce
Rice with ketchup
Ketchup with ketchup
I love ketchup
You love tomato flavored sugar
Hey, be fair...
It's also got a texture that's different from sugar!
Guilty as charged
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 Daveβs ghost pepper sauce on top, like a teaspoon.
Iβm 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 Iβm weirdly addicted to it. I own better tasting sauces but they donβt scratch the itch the right way.
fermented shrimp paste, pickled bird eyes chili, soy sauce, fresh mangoes and plain white rice. topped with a heaping pinch of msg.
This is the first comment on this post I actually winced at
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.
Corned beef hash right out of the can is alarmingly close to dog food.
And better than it has any right to be.
Two pieces of white bread, mayo, thick slices of tomato and a bunch of black pepper.. Not sure how terrible it is, but I don't generally serve it to others because it's very messy.
I toast my bread, then do mayo or butter, thick slices of tomato, and salt. Some pepper sometimes.
Toasted tomato open faced sandwich!
But I would serve that to guests. I don't see why not.
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.
Ever try it with malt vinegar?
Yup, that's also pretty good! I think it pairs better with white vinegar though.
I've seen that flavor profile referred to as "squirrel gravy."
Mix 2 different instant noodle products, Carbonara Buldak and Neoguri and create a sodium overload saucy cheesy ramen. We only have it max twice a month though because itβs so high in sodium.
Germany has brands of bottled curry sauce that are great on white rice.
I've never seen them in the US... but mayonnaise and curry powder is close enough.
Ranch noodles, though, I've served to guests all the time. It is exactly what it sounds like. You squirt ranch dressing all over fresh elbow / corkscrew pasta, and ideally cool overnight. It's two-ingredient pasta salad. Ranch is buttermilk, garlic, dill, and a bunch of other spices. Great as a side. Add pepper.
I made a face reading that until you said "ideally cool overnight" and it immediately sounded like I want to try it as a pasta salad.
Raw chickpeas. The small, black kind. I soak them overnight in cold water, and have them for breakfast along with a shot of espresso.
I got it from my dad. He used to have them with tea.
Earlier this week I had curry on nacho chips because I made some really good curry and did not have the energy to make the actual nacho accoutrements that I had planned on doing
It was great
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.
