    Shredded cheese crisped up in a skillet.

    According to my ex, who politely asked me to stop doing that, it makes the entire house smell like particularly foul body odor.

      This sounds like the bean base for a taco pizza. Not sure how wide spread it is, but where i am from in the Midwest it is pretty popular. Pizza Hut has a Taco Bean and a Taco Beef Pizza. Add cheddar cheese, pop it in the oven, after it’s done baking, add lettuce, more cheddar cheese, tomatoes, chushed up Doritos, and some sour cream. So good.

        That hadn’t occurred to me, but dipping pizza crust (and pizza) in garlic butter sauce isn’t unusual. Hollandaise is just a lemon butter sauce. Sounds good to me.

      As a topping? I’ve done this and agree, but it’s important to get the bean dip spread evenly on the crust.

    My partner thinks it’s disgusting and my biggest red flag: I make peanut butter sandwiches on white bread and dip them in ranch dressing 😩 the reason I do this is because of growing up a millennial in NKY where a weekly lunch option was a bowl of chili, served with a peanut butter sandwich, and carrot sticks w a side of ranch….I hate raw carrots, always have lmao but I love all the other items….one day I was staring at the sad unused ranch and thinking as I was already keen to dipping the PB sandwich in the chili, that maybe it would be as good as the PB in chili so I tried it and I’ve just done it and liked a PB sandwich dipped in ranch ever since 😓 my partner has even tried it for me and hated it 🤷🏼‍♀️ at least they loved me enough to try it 🥹

    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.

    A more general answer: Meals without meat.

    For some reason this really confuses people, and often makes them concerned or upset.

      I love my grill and probably eat way more meat than I should, but damn if I can’t appreciate a good vegetarian meal. Mushroom kebabs, pesto and cheese stuffed portobello mushrooms, veggie grilled pizza, corn on the cob. Hell, on Sunday I just tossed some potatoes, carrots, and onions with a can of cream of mushroom soup into some tinfoil and roasted that on the grill for dinner. I grill out about 3-4 days a week. If anyone said something bad about a vegetarian meal I grill I would ask them politely, yet firmly, to leave and never come back.

        I’m not vegan nor vegetarian either, but if I ever became one I think I would be happy eating mushrooms, beans and peas as alternatives, for the rest of my life.

      NGL this sounds like it slaps. Imma give this a shot and throw in some diced pickles to boot.

      Lightly toasted bread, right? I can see how that would be tasty (I already add a bit of mustard to my macaroni cheese) but I bet it would work even better with cut-up bacon in place of ham - you want something that’s going to cut through all the creamy richness.

    My friend recommended eating kiwis with the skin on. It takes a second to get used to the fuzzy skin, but they are SOOOO much easier to eat! Plus you get some extra fiber ;)

      I love the pop texture of with them skin on. And it is gives a nice bitter light note to the sweet fruit.

    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

    My favourite pizza topping is pepperoni and flaked tuna, the good stuff too so it’s meaty oily tuna.

    Love it but so many people think I’m odd for it. The meaty flavours compliment each other!!!

      I’m not even sure I need to read the rest of the thread after this comment. You win by default! I guess it makes as much sense as anchovies on pizza though.
