Pan-fried canned chick peas with black pepper, butter, oregano, basil, and sometimes paprika, chili powder, and hot sauce if I want some kick.
I cook it when I'm in a rush or tired, it's done in 10-15 minutes, fills me up, and is packed with good protein.
But I would never feed it to anybody else, it's lazy bro/fitness food lol.
It sounds pretty good actually
I mean, I like it lol, but I love chickpeas, I would almost eat them raw from the can.
If you're eating them that regularly, it may be worth the savings to buy them dry, and soak overnight before cooking them. I dunno. It is worth it for me.
Bun, brat, mustard, sourkraut. If there is a pack of malt vinegar in the drawer, that too.
Thatβs just a hotdog, no?
I thought that it was fairly normal⦠until you got to the malt vinegar.
...malt vinegar krauts the kraut: sounds delicious...
I keep a bouquet of dry pasta on my desk that I absentmindedly munch on while I work.
Sometimes I'll eat a whole head of cabbage over a day peeling it leaf by leaf.
Are you a field mouse?
Not regularly, but my family was super poor for awhile and our delicacies then are my comfort food now.
We loved hot dog weiners in the Kraft dinner, which is a fair approximation because we couldn't afford KD back then. Ground pepper, and also ketchup when we could afford to be fully blasphemous.
Mom makes a wicked liver-and-onions, but I suspect it wasn't liver so much as tongue, as it was cheap as hell back then. My sister knows the truth and she will.not eat 'liver' again.
Blasphemy and lies, that's it.
My ex's family had this prized dish: you warm milk with pieces of bread chucked in there, add sugar. Then you put cinnamon on top.
It was this weird milky-bready cinnamon soup that actually tasted pretty great and was perfect on a cold day, or whenever she needed some TLC food
Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)
My parents had that as youth, they called it Milk Sop
Sandwiches with potato chips between them
Pretty much the go to UK sandwich
That's not weird. Chips, fries, or tots can/should be in the sandwich.
When I'm home alone, I'll sometimes revert to my "first apartment" mood and cook spaghetti with Campbell tomato soup in it, added with sautΓ©ed onions, mushrooms, hotdog sausages, and add cheese in it.
Is probably better than the crappiest thing I could come up with, but I wouldn't serve that too an adult. But maybe to children.
...sometimes i do likewise, but for me it's either totino's cheese pizza with morningstar spicy black bean burger on top, or a box of uncle ben's long-grain-and-wild-rice mixed with kraft italian cheese blend and morningstar chik patties baked like a casserole...
Would.
I haven't had this in a while but one if my lazy bachelor meals was baked potatoes with kim chee and sour cream.
There's a banked potato spot in my city that sells just baked potatoes with like 50 variations on the menu. You can get a baked potato topped with anything from chilly to brisket, vegetables, etc
Toasted bread with blue cheese, a fried egg, hot sauce and maple syrup on top.
Sounds like something I'd pay 16$ to have served by a malnourished hipster on a cutting board to a table lit by a bar bulb as an appetizer.
Instant noodles, peanut butter, and sriracha. Crack an egg in near the end.
It's actually pretty close to pad thai, but screams of struggle meal
Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I'm feeling fancy/not lazy I'll add some chopped shallots or scallions.
I call it the cinco de mayo revenge: Laughing Cow cheese (itβs French) melted in a tortilla.
