Frozen corn.. Straight from the bag.

Trones,

That actually sounds like a great snack on a hot summer day!

treeantlers,

Did this all the time as a kid. … And as an adult, sort of. I have a recipe for a chilled corn and edamame salad with a soy sauce/sesame dressing. I make it with frozen veggies and sometimes if I’m feeling impatient I’ll eat it without fully thawing them.

microwaved cookies (they're better warm)

I eat prunes daily. some people think it's a laxative for old people. sure, there's fiber in them and fiber helps you stay regular but just the same as eating most fruit. prunes are just dried plums and they're delicious

floragato,

Prunes are sorely under-appreciated in my opinion! I don’t eat them often, but my family has a tradition of making prune pierogi sautéed in an onion butter sauce for special occasions and it is an absolute sweet-savory delight. I look forward to them all year.

Tabb5,

Prune juice is good too

waspentalive,

Mr Worf calls it "A warrior's drink"

newde,

It's not only the fibre in prunes that helps your digestion -- the 'sorbitol' also acts as a laxative.

Taco chips with peanut butter.

Vanquish, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?

my fiancé eats this food called balut, it’s like a half grown chicken or something.. definitely odd

It’s a chicken embryo still in the egg. I already find eggs to be revolting (it’s a nearly-forty-year food aversion) but that pushes it beyond. I get that it might be considered a delicacy in SE Asia (the Philippines specifically, iirc), so I won’t yuck their yum and just say that it en’t for me.

Denvil,

In the wise words of GradeAUnderA regarding Balut, "but apparently it's pretty tasty... yeah I think I'll pass"

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

I always eat the sour cream from off the spoon after I use it for tacos or pierogi.

Skrewzem,
@Skrewzem@kbin.social avatar

Oh, I meant I sometimes specifically buy an entire cup of sour cream just to eat it by itself

EponymousBosh, in What are your favorite no-cook/low-cook recipes for summer?
@EponymousBosh@beehaw.org avatar

I just made this for dinner the other night. The only cooking you have to do is quinoa, and that doesn't take very long. Make sure you use the "natural" peanut butter with just peanuts and salt in it, the kind with all the extra additives will NOT mix together properly.

A friend once turned me on to peanut butter and tuna sandwiches.

I... do not know why I thought that was good at one point, now that I think about it.

gramie,

My family all enjoys peanut butter and bacon sandwiches (a habit my English mother picked up in New York in the '50s). They are glorious!

Salt, fat, sugar, protein, your body craves that stuff.

Silence, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?

Brewed tea leaves, think they're the best part. There's a good number that are terrible (the cheap CTC blacks especially) but think most green teas and floral oolongs are great.

Weird to brew a cup of tea and then eat the leaves but there's also some legit recipes with tea leaves. Burmese tea leaf salad and longjing shrimp are two. There's also matcha.

pingjocky, in How do you make large cuts of pork or beef that fall apart on the plate using only an oven?
@pingjocky@lemm.ee avatar

Braise the cut in a cast iron dutch oven.

https://www.allrecipes.com/article/how-to-braise-meat/

RandoMcGuvins,

Yep Braising is the way. It's amazing for tougher cuts. I do a brisket ragu 160oC for 4-6 hrs, a parchment paper lid and uncovered for the last 2 hrs. A dutch oven isn't necessary, I sometimes use a stewpot or a chef's pan.

My personal favorite is Louisiana Poy roast, super easy and tasty AF.

shmushroomsh, in How do you make large cuts of pork or beef that fall apart on the plate using only an oven?

Slow and low. As someone mentioned below, keeping the meat covered while cooking in a dutch oven or tall roasting dish is crucial for making sure that it doesn't dry out. In a pinch the crappy aluminum roasting pans will work just fine, the key is that your roasting container should be taller than the meat do that you can cover it while it's cooking. For beef and pork, around 200 Fahrenheit and for chicken thighs, around 275. Chicken breasts don't have enough fat as it is white meat so I wouldn't try them slow and low. Just cook until it falls apart to your liking, time depends on the size and cut but those temperatures will do you just fine.

Plain sour cream.

My husband cringes every time I do it.

gk99, in What do you eat that other people think is odd?

I mix Coke and Orange Juice to wake up in the morning sometimes. My wife that dips steak in ranch dressing and friend that eats peanut butter and ham sandwiches hate it.

Jesus man what crazy town you come from!

root_beer,
@root_beer@kbin.social avatar

I used to do that back in the day (Coke & OJ), but both are so revoltingly sweet now I can’t do it anymore. If there was a cola-flavored sparkling water, I’d give that a shot.

OJ (or apple juice) with vanilla oatmilk is pretty amazing though. Just not in large quantities.

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.

Baked onion with salt. Just a singular baked onion

currychaos,

I saw that recipe and really want to try it one day, but I always forget.
