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?

    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.

    Liver and ground beef in a skillet.

    Easy post workout meal, easy to clean, only minutes to cook.

    Nobody I know would eat liver

      Throw a potato in whatever form you want and roll that up in flatbread. I’d eat that in a heartbeat.

    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.

    My invented dish I call “Scrumpy”. You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add southern hot sauce like Frank’s, and some Cajun seasoning.

    It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I’ve done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top… Very flexible weeknight meal.

    I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.

      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.

        Cause there’s nothing quite like the combination of savoury, salty, spicy and sweet.
        Other favorites of mine are chocolate chili, and my famous habanero honey salad dressing.

    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

      Yeah I definitely started relying on peanuts during my years of unemployment.

      Try chopping up a green onion and throwing that in. White bit at the beginning of the boil and the green bits at the end. They’re extremely cheap.

          Frugal tip: You can get a lot more life out of green onions by setting them in a jar of water. Trim what you need from the ends, and the plant will grow probably 3-4 times before you need to replace it.

              maybe? i’m quite sure you can use them in the same way though. garlic greens are good too. and depending where you live, you can forage good wild options too. my dad’s back yard usually gets a good crop of 3 pointed leeks that i would harvest when i lived with him.

          In many places in North America field garlic (which is very similar to green onions) grows voraciously in people’s yards in the Spring. Leave a small patch of yard unmowed and you’ll have more than you know what to do with. Just be careful not to mistake it for death camas.

          You’re probably right. I have never personally seen them more expensive than like $1.25 for a half dozen.

      We do the same thing! Had it yesterday for breakfast. We’ve been buying Ramen packs from Costco that are pretty spicy so we’ve been skipping the Sriracha though.

      Update: This was pretty tasty. I’ll probably use just a spoonful of PB next time. I used half the ramen seasoning packet and added a little fish sauce as well. Scallions would definitely kick it up a notch, but that involves significantly more work.

      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.

    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.

      If you are on a diet, this meal has very few kilojoules/calories. Fewer than a single slice of bread.

        Wasn’t on a diet. Thankfully, they ate more during lunch and didn’t have any health issues due to eating weirdly but those “meals” were something else…

      I don’t care much about the what but the how. Biting into a whole tomato WILL make a mess. Simply cutting it in half greatly reduces the chance of that. If they already had a knife why not use it on the tomato. People are weird.

        I’m a whole tomato-eater, and there is a way to eat them without being messy. The mess is divided into chambers, and you basically go one chamber at a time, suck out the mess in the chamber and then move on to the next.

        I was thinking that too, but maybe it was one of those hard, white-on-the-inside, unripe tomatoes.

      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)
