same food every day gang! it's cheap, nutritious, delicious, and a breeze to prepare, what's not to like?

i can't eat the same thing for more than 3 days without it making me gag

If by cold food you mean room temperature food then I definitely agree. Doesn’t bother me in the least. But if you mean fridge cold, most times I’ll want to heat it at least to room temperature first.

I love tuna but im worried about mercury poisoning :(

I still eat tuna but im weary of eating it for longer than a week at a time.

I've been eating the same three "meals" every day for about four years now. Lunch is the main meal, the other two are more like snacks. No processed foods, in that the packages have only one or two ingredients listed.

It's convenient, because I know exactly what I'm going to buy at the store each week. I never waste food. It's fast, because I make it the same way every day. The main meal takes just under twenty minutes to prepare, including cleaning up the kitchen.

It's similar to the way Einstein had a closet full of the same suit, so he didn't need to think about what he was going to wear that day. Except I'm an idiot.

This all started when I decided that food is not entertainment, and food is not reward. Because, that's how I often treated food in the past.

I cook a lot (not a chef by any means but just a hobby home cook).

Heat masks a lot of flavor. I always think that if the food that I make tastes bad cold, it was shit food to begin with and the heat just hid it.

Texture is another thing, but my food goal is that my meals taste as good cold as they do hot.

The only true licorice.

black licorice jelly beeeeeans 🤤

Same. But I'm from Northern Europe, so black liquorice haters are a minority here.

I recommend trying kimchi hotdogs

Sauerkraut and kimchi are so delicious! Fermented cabbage is so much better than it should be.

It's really good as an ingredient in chicken soup.

Most people I know seem to hate it unfortunately

Well-made sauerkraut is delicious

Fucking dope! Ugh, it is a top tier hot dog topping with spicy mustard.

Not a huge fan. I love bratwurst and will usually put onions and a dark/stone ground/spicy mustard on it. But if someone hands be a brat mit kraut, I’m eating it.

Hated Reuben’s as a kid but yeah, that shit smacks.

Love it. Goes great with sausage (not sweet Italian sausage; the sweet flavor isn't complementary).

I love fermented stuff, so real sauerkraut is on the menu for me, but I'd always choose kimchi if given the option.

I hate sauerkraut. But kimchi is awesome

I hate it but I know that it's good for me, so down the hatch.

Brussels sprouts have also been bred over the last couple decades to be much less bitter and have generally a better flavour than what we'd have had as kids.

TBF getting high quality and well prepared veggies is hard and it's expensive. the stuff sold in mass supermarkets is mid at best and that's what most people have access to.

I grew up on awful quality veggies that tasted like shit, because my mom boiled and steamed everything and added no seasoning. also she did this with frozen stuff and we never had fresh. a lot of canned shit too that tasted awful.

this is the reason i never enjoyed vegetables until I was in college. they thought I was this shitty picky kid... but they were just awful cooks who prepared awful food.

when i took some pro cooking classes the chef asked me if my parents ever cooked with salt, because he was shocked how little i used...

Boiled to mush broccoli and brussel sprouts are kinda nice though...

I think a lot of the Malört hate is hype. People love talking about how disgusting it is, and that's just become the thing to do when anyone mentions it. The first time I tried it I thought, "I can understand why people don't like it, but it's just an herbal spirit like many others." I tried it a second time years later and said, "Ah, okay. This really is disgusting."

Nah peated whiskey is an acquired taste for sure. Even in my most alcoholic years, I wouldn’t touch the stuff haha

Soy sauce? I do know many people who don’t like black licorice (the best licorice) and have no idea what the rest taste like, but soy sauce? Isn’t that in half the world’s dinner? ( plus secret ingredient for fluffy scrambled eggs?). I’ve never heard of anyone not liking that

I would not have said that I have ever tried a peated whisky - but since Scotch is a whisky, and I distinctly prefer a peated Islay Scotch over a lighter Speyside - I guess that I am with you.

Peated Whisky Friends!

I don't know what Malört is but I feel like you and I would get on real well.

Pleated whiskey tastes like burning tires smell, to me, lol.

Malort is truly revolting

There is such a variety of black licorice though. Some I love and some I hate. Like Icelandic licorice I love, but the one with the brown powder (Finnish?) I hate.

Most pizzas have tomato on?

Pineapple is the exception!

Yes! Hawaiian pizza but add cherries. Cherries look beautiful and go great with the rest of the pizza.

Not peppers (green/red bell, jalapeño or shishito) or olives? Mushrooms? (Mushroom caps and stems are the fruiting body of a fungus)

How is this different from those shrimp chips?

I don't see crab in the ingredients... So they aren't actually crab flavored, right? They are just seasoned with Chesapeake bay seasoning?

I vividly remember my horror when first totally unexpectedly encountering anchovis.

Ordered a pizza during a school trip to Norther Italy.
Read the "anchovis" on the description, but confused it with "artichoke", which I like.

Instantly spit out the fish part, dissected the pizza and confronted the waiter with the fact that there were "dead fish complete with bones" on my pizza.

I guess this is one of the stories the waiter still tells, when asked about the most crazy customers... ;-)

It's honestly my comfort food. Cook it with chili paste and onion, or mince it and mix it with onion and egg and then fry it, then slap a piece of bread on top.

It's definitely the crunch for me. Wouldn't mind the flavor if it wasn't for that.

I fucking love blue cheese. Easily the best cheese.

Can't believe I forgot that one. I found a jar of green olives recently that were stuffed with blue cheese. Would recommend.

Tastes like vomit to me. My bf enjoys it, though.

If you like anchovies, try Colatura di Alici if you can get hold of it. It's a direct descendant of Roman garum and is like a magic button for improving a lot of dishes.

Do it! That is how I used to get leftovers when I made pizza - anchovy, onion, garlic, and hot peppers. One pizza nobody else would touch so that I could secure lunch for me.

I read the “traditional” way was anchovies, tomatoes, and black olives. I can see that. It’s like “pasta puttanesca” (prostitute pasta). A basic pasta sauce using inexpensive, common, pantry staples (in Italy back in the day): anchovies, tomatoes, capers, olives.

It’s good (and still inexpensive and easy, like your mom )

It was one of the most famous candy in the 19th century and made a german company grow into one of the biggest candy manufacturers in europe (haribo). I don't think it's uncommon to like it but that it's rather a generational difference since we now have a bigger variety in sweets you can learn to (dis)like.

came here expecting to see this at the top.

Durian is alright

Porter used to make some great stuff (probably still does). Pretty sure they made my favoritiest dark beer, the Russian Imperial Stout. Phenomenal.

Guinness is legit delicious.

Just dont chug 4 of them.

Yeah I wanted to like moxie and I’m not sure what I expected, but not cough syrup.

Lobster tastes like melted butter: it’s really good.

Actually in general my response to shellfish is that it’s not good enough for the effort you need to put in.
