Grilled cheese + tomato soup

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Grilled ham & cheese toasties, 15m fresh tomato soup pre-cut kit from the supermarket

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I love tomato soup, but I barely have any chance to eat it - the folks here outright despise it, they call it "soggy sauce".

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The townsfolk are stopping you from eating tomato soup?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

By "folks" I mean my family. There are a few dishes that I can only prepare for myself, as I know that they won't eat; tomato soup is one of them. (Alongside beet soup, pickled eggs, onigiri [unless my nephew is here, he loves onigiri too], curry sauce for sausages...).

Bread. If I wake up and I'm having a bad day, I buy a fresh-baked loaf of bread and eat it. That's my meal for the day. It's quite fantastic. Whoever invented bread in Mesopotamia or Egypt or wherever deserves the god-kingship they doubtlessly acquired for it.

Kebab is kind of the signature food for when I want to just be with myself lol

My iconic recipe: All My Favorite Shit, Shoved In A Pot Together

Dice up a white onion, sautee in butter until lightly brown. Drain one can each of black beans, diced tomatoes, and corn. Cook til whenever. Salt, red pepper, and garlic powder to taste.

Sometimes I save some black bean juice, mix it with corn starch to thicken it up, and stir it back in, and eat the whole thing over brown rice.

Alternatively: ice cream. Butter pecan in a waffle cone.

Fruit snacks if I want something sweet.

Chicken nuggets and tater tots if I want salty and savory

The vegan Buffalo chikn wings.

Noodle soup. I know it's a cliche but there is just something about eating it piping hot with a nice ceramic spoon.

Fattest greasiest breakfast I can buy nearby. In college I would get the comically american large pancake/proteins + hash brown diner combo before a final and food coma my way through the stress. The place always had a fully decked topping bar so smother that shit in whipped butter and syrup. Calorie bomb helped me focus I think, and I didn't have any money in school so it was also my treat for getting through the quarter.

A pint of Ben & Jerry's. Doesn't even really matter what flavor. (I will be eating one later tonight.)

[–] Truffle@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

In a perfect world where I have the energy to cook after a rough day, I'd love homemade chicken stock with carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, potatoes, onion, thyme and Peppers with a little bit of lemon. Pair this with a nice sourdough bread and a glass of lemonade.

In reality: Diet Coke and a bag of chips because I don't have to cook any of those.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

For this kind of situation I'm an ice-cream guy

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Chicken livers, fried eggs, and toasted bread. I don't eat this combo often as it's a caloric bomb, but it's great when I'm really stressed.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vegan buffalo chik'n wings. They're really good!

[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had amazing cauliflower wings once, haven't been able to recreate them.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

[–] ExtraMedicated@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Ramen with a decent amount of sriracha.

A block of blue cheese and a beer.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

a burrito from a hole in the wall family restaurant.

[–] Hundun@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

If I can afford it, I buy a freshly-baked baguette and eat it with a glass of whole milk.

[–] zlatiah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

The grocery store around the block sells dirt-cheap 2-pc fried chicken + potato meals that I like a lot. I think I used to get the 8-pc fried chicken from Walmart often too...

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Chicken fingers and fries. Or ice cream if I want something sweet.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sour ass pickle

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Pizza from a specific pizza place near me. I get the free choice pizza (5 toppings of your choice) but load it with extras. My usual is:

  • 15" Deep pan
  • Spicy Pork
  • Spicy Pork
  • Spicy Beef
  • Spicy Beef
  • Jalapenos

plus.

  • Pepperoni
  • Ham
  • Bacon
  • Meatballs
  • 2 x doner kebab meat
  • Fresh green chillies

I'm hoping one day they'll name it after me and offer it on the menu.

The ass of a bottom bear.
