Kimchi and sardines
Instant mashed potatoes with American cheese melted in, and a variety of seasonings, butter, toppings etc. It's a great, cheap way to make a bowl out of random leftovers, protein or whatever. But I wouldn't dare serve it to someone.
'quickadilla' I'll slap a tortilla on a cold pan, turn on the heat and build it right in the pan while it heats up with shredded cheese and left over meat. Takes 5 minutes and it's at least as good as Taco Bell, and actually warm and melted.
More of a meal I'd actually be willing to share, but not brag about because it's sort of a bastardization of cultures. But I'll often make a curry using Japanese curry blocks, and season chicken in a vaguely Indian style, then put it over rice. Really simple and delicious. I'm kind of proud of it but I wouldn't even know how to explain it to someone, much less actually serve it.
I eat ketchup out of a plate with a spoon.
Your dish is called a jacket potato if I understand you right. What I like to do is boil rice then mix it with peanut butter and sriracha and just eat that like it is.
Scoop of peanut butter
idk how weird this is in terms of everything else in this thread, but peanut butter and pickles on toast is great
Marmite on toast with an obscene amount of ketchup.
I ate frozen fish sticks when I was a kid. Just took em out of the freezer and gnawed on them.
I ate dry ramen blocks as a teenager.
Smash em up and it's not much different than Doritos or something. Not my go to but I've done it in a pinch
I knew so many kids that did this that I thought it must be really good or something. It was not.
It's common practice in Korea. They sell ramyeon (Korean ramen) as snack food in bags like you'd get a bag of chips in NA.
Raw jello powder, add a dribble of water to make part of it a super thick paste.
Blue cheese, and sweet condensed milk dip with tortilla chips.
Note: I might have more, but just woke up from a nightmare and its 2:30am. Will try to come back later.
Kimchi and blue cheese quesadilla.
Kimchi and cream cheese on crackers is good, too.
Spaghetti Amoré (~$15 Serves 4-6)
- 16oz Box of Spaghetti
- 1lb Ground Turkey
- 1 Can Cream Of Cheddar
- 1 Can Cream of Mushroom
- 1 Can Tomato Soup
- 8oz of Shredded Mozzarella
- Spices: salt, black pepper, poultry seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano
Start boiling your pasta water, salt the water. Meanwhile, in a skillet start cooking the ground turkey till pink is gone. Once cooked, start seasoning with above spices to taste until satisfied, then move skillet to back burner on lowest setting to keep warm.
Preheat oven to 375. Once pasta water is boiling, add spaghetti and cook per instruction until al dente. Drain pasta in a colander, then return to pot.
While pot and spaghetti are still hot, add ground turkey and 3 soup cans to the pot and stir spaghetti until soups are evenly incorporated.
Dump contents of pot into a 9x13" casserole dish, spread contents evenly in the dish, then top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the oven till cheese has melted (about 5-10 minutes)
Remove from oven and let cool on stove for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to cut a square and serve warm.
1 Can Cream Of Cheddar
I have never heard of this before. Huh.
So like a turkey ziti? This sounds pretty good.
Snack pasta (farfalle are the best). No cooking, just open the package and munch the raw pasta. I like how crispy it is.
I didn't know anyone else did this. I was just snacking on some bucatini. I recommend it! Long thin tubes of pasta that break up easily and have no risk of sharp bits.
I think it is a result of growing up in an "ingredient household". We did not stock snacks, and I was always too lazy to make a meal.
My biggest snack when I was a kid (and I sometimes still do this at 28) was dry ramen packets. I love crunching the noodles and the texture they have. And I keep the flavor powder for the next time I actually cool them, for extra flavor.
An entire loaf of French bread from the super market and a sobe (at least back when sobe existed)
Spicy lettuce hotdogs! Cook them meat sticks up however you want, wrap in lettuce, place in bun. Top with ketchup and habanero Tabasco.
I've never even thought to put lettuce in a hot dog...
If someone made like a "cheeseburger" hot dog with lettuce, tomato, pickle, maybe even onion, with ketchup and possibly some mayo? I'd throw down. ETA: can't believe I forgot cheese
Mud
Cocoa powder, sugar, bit of cream. Mix until it’s gritty from sugar, it shouldn’t be too smooth. Extra delicious if some isn’t fully mixed and there are cocoa powder chunks. It could be a topping, or an ingredient in something delicious, but no - eat the whole bowl of sweet gritty chocolatey goodness straight up.
Ok this one is cursed. You win
