I like to put my leftovers in an omelette the next morning.

Rice and beans? Spaghetti and meatballs? Baked haddock?

All good omelette material.

Makes leftovers less boring imo and a good way to reheat them

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I really love cool ranch doritos dipped in sour cream.

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Oh my God, you beautiful genius...

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 9 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Y'know, I genuinely thought I was gonna be the weirdest one here, but now I'm not so sure. There's at least competition.

My two favorite foods:

"Tuna" casserole that is refrigerator cold. Tuna in quotes because I rarely ever actually add the tuna. It's just egg noodles, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, normally with broccoli or peas in it.

Ramen Noodle Garbage Bowl: ramen noodles, drained, with cheese, mustard, curry, smoked paprika, blackened kielbasa/smoked sausage, and diced fresh tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes. Often has other random ingredients. Add just enough boiling water to get everything to mix well.

[–] Oneser@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You have lost your licence to food with #2 there.

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 4 points 9 months ago

Try it first, then report back. If you despise it, I'll willingly give it up.

[–] Milksteaks@midwest.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I made a variation of your garbage bowl, I call it regrettios. Crunch 2 ramen packs, cook and strain. Add a can of tomato soup and cheddar cheese, made that all the time as a kid

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 2 points 9 months ago

That sounds pretty good, actually. Another I really like is ramen, cooked and drained, and homemade pimento cheese and fresh tomatoes. OMG, so good. Ramen is also excellent with poached eggs and sausage with cheese. It's an all purpose carb.

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That ramen sounds delicious actually

[–] DharmaCurious@startrek.website 3 points 9 months ago

It's fantastic. For extra good good add some cayenne and really double down on the curry. OMG.

[–] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Tàu hũ nước đường. It's Vietnamese sweet silken tofu topped with a pineapple, peach, or ginger sauce. Usually with peach or mango pearls.

I used to sit in my car after a long night shift and savor every little bite. They are unfortunately not a good food for weight loss however.

[–] ulemmyagain@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I prefer egg yolks and sour cream.

[–] No_Ones_Slick_Like_Gaston@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Rookie, just graduate to Mayo and egg yolks for a very moisturized vocal apparatus.

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

I really enjoy stale coke

[–] itchick2014@midwest.social 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Comfort food: Drop dumplings (simple flour, salt, water only) in chicken broth. No veggies. No meat. Just dumplings.

Comfort activity: hiding in a closet. I am nearly 40 and will still do this XD

[–] ulemmyagain@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

what is simple flour? also, what is water only?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Cheese and mustard sandwich.

When I was a kid and we had no lunch meat, I would just make a sandwich of kraft singles and mustard. Sometimes I still do this for the nostalgia.

[–] korok@possumpat.io 3 points 9 months ago

I used to make these all the time as a kid too!

[–] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I love dipping grilled cheese in coarse spicy mustard.

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fucking hell I just did this. Did you also drank the olive juice? I regret nothing

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, especially with castelventranos

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

So from what I've gathered from the internet it's apparently considered weird, but Doritos (usually spicy nacho or salsa verde) dipped in cottage cheese. When I'm depressed I'll scarf down half a bag of chips (and about a third of a tub of cottage cheese).

[–] ElderReflections@kbin.social 5 points 9 months ago

Oatmeal, blood sausage, miso, mushrooms & a green chilli. Looks like shit but damn if it ain't delish

[–] mars@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sitting in a big cardboard box with my wife and closing the flaps. We were both very stressed at the time and it just felt very cozy and quiet in there.

If I had the room I would have kept it. Instead I bought a foldable pop-up tent to try to recreate the feeling, but it's just not the same.

[–] ulemmyagain@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

What a good comfort habit fellow human.

[–] shyguyblue@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Macaroni and tuna.

Get the Mac n Cheese with the cheese pouch, not the powdered cheese-like-food-like crap.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 9 months ago

That sounds like it would be pretty dope with the white cheddar Velveeta and shells.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 9 months ago

Poutine with extra curds.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

regular Doritos dipped in peanut butter

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So, I used to make peanut butter and doritos (nacho cheese) sandwiches when I was a kid. PB is too thick to dip.

It's like the best PB and cheese cracker snack pack ever.

I'm going to have one sometime this week for nostalgia.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

PB is too thick to dip.

it's a rewarding challenge, but i am fully on board with integrating the chips into sandwich technology.. i've been using that one since cheese and potato chip sandwiches back in the day..

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Warm it up.

Chowing down on the cheapest and shittiest cookies i can find. Don't know how I got the habit but I've definitely eaten 2 dozen packs in a sitting before when I was really stressed

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Twenty-four packs of cookie?

[–] NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

That's a lot more cookie than I intended but I would probably try to do it

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I'm a big fan of homemade waffles that have been left out to cool to room temp.

[–] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Mac n cheese with surimi

[–] Lath@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago

Anything crunchy.

[–] SuperTulle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 months ago

Peanut butter and pickles on toast

[–] Starayo@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Ever since I was a child, I've loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they're no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it's no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don't do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don't have the patience for it.

Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that's less weird.

Lays lightly salted plain chips dipped in vinegar or ketchup. It just hits better than salt and vinegar chips or ketchup chips. Dill pickle chips work well in the vinegar too.
