Funky Food Favorites

Salmon and broccoli seasoned with cinnamon and almond butter as my condiment is a regular meal for me. I know it's weird so no need to tell me, but something about the blending of the flavors and consistencies makes my brain and taste buds VERY happy. As I was eating this funky food favorite of mine again today, I started wondering what other people eat that would be considered bizarre by most people's standards. If you are feeling bold, please share!

Sounds delicious. And those ingredients are great for us ADHDers too!

I’m partial to fatty fish like sea bass. I’m also a fan of cod (black cod especially with a miso sauce) and halibut. Paired with asparagus, or grilled brussel sprouts, makes for a great meal. Start with a spinach based salad, and call it good. The 9 year old me would wonder what the heck happened to me, but hey, it’s scrumptious!

My current is over night oats, with blueberries, a dash or two of cinnamon, pinch of salt, and a big scoop of Greek yogurt. The different flavors and textures, as well as the coldness really hits me right now.

One of my guilty pleasures is Ranch flavored Doritos dipped heavily in sour cream. Still can't remember when or how it came about as I don't like Ranch flavor on it own - but this unhealthy, unholy hold on me and may always will. The only thing is its way too late for me to go out and pick up either. 😜

oh, guilty pleasures? Absolutely! :) My current favorite is spicy dill pickle potato chips. Nothing about that sounds good, but I love them!

And old time favorite going back to my childhood- an asparagus sandwich: cold leftover asparagus (we grew it), on white bread slathered in Miracle Whip, and a bit of pepper. I am not allowed to speak of this sandwich in front of my wife. 😁

I've been thinking of reintroducing pickles... Your comment is encouraging me to get some the next time I shop!

Love pickles and once went down the rabbit hole of fermenting my own. Went a little overboard on the amount and have been instructed that I am not allowed to produce any more until all the current bottles have been eaten.

This made me laugh so hard. Oh, the things I have gone overboard on, food related and not :)

Sorry if my comments are all over the place... I thought I was responding directly to people, but now I don't think I am... Oh well. Thank you all for engaging in this fun, silly dialogue!

It’s plenty okay to “be all over the place” here. It’s kinda our thing. :D
