What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else? (lemmy.world)

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?

Grits with canned tuna.

Grits with chili paste, fried egg, pork fu.

Sandwich of sardines and mayonnaise and raw onion.

OP, my sweet potato lunch is a Stokes Purple one frozen then baked, topped with goat cheese, pepitas, olive oil and fancy salt. I don't even like sweet potatoes but like that there's enough salty/sharp stuff

What are grits made of? I've never seen them in 40 years but hear about them

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hominy. It's corn treated with lye, "nixtamalized" so slightly different from cornmeal. Hominy is so good in soup or chili, too.

Stone ground white corn. Very popular in the southern US. Similar to polenta (which is made from yellow corn) but you can prepare it in lots of different ways.

Grits can be white or yellow corn.

I like sweet potatoes, but I get you. I don't understand this thing where people add marshmallows. It's already sweet! Now, bake a sweet potato, mash it, and add a little bit of salt and some hot sauce to preference, that definitely works for me.
