Cottage cheese and garlic salt for me, what’s yours?
Macadamia nuts. I can’t have them in the house anymore. Once I bought a three-pound bag of them, and then I ate a three-pound bag of macadamia nuts. In one day. They’re way too fucking expensive for that, and high in calories.
So, I don’t buy macadamia nuts anymore.
That’s me with pistachios. Once it became possible to buy them pre-shelled I knew I was in financial trouble because I can eat them non-stop. I need the shells to rate-limit myself.
Are you Chrisjen Avasarala? Keeping them in your purse and munching on them whenever you’re in meetings with people you don’t like very much?
Have you tried this brand? They were a revelation to me. Soooo good, no macadamia has compared, so far. They taste like salted butter.
Ah, the classic Queensland bush nut from Australia.
It has taken the world by storm.
And rightfully so, it is the king of all nuts, without a doubt.
It has no peer, and I don’t blame you.
They are perfect by themselves but if you add a little bit of garlic salt to them or some other flavoring they are just beyond belief.
The area where they are originally from in Queensland has obviously the world’s largest producers, and some of their specialty herbs and spices they put on them just are unbelievable.
They are a pain in the ass to shell but delicious when you do
I’m just here to tell you there’s no reason whatsoever to feel guilty about eating cottage cheese. It’s got great protein and fat content. Throw a dusting of psyllium husk on there for some fiber and scoop it out with some whole wheat peta chips or crackers and you’ve got yourself a meal
Damn you, you reminded me I still have more cottage cheese and crackers…
Try spreading it over toast!
I’ve been on an apple slices and peanut butter kick lately. My grocery store has been selling big bags of granny smiths for $5 and I’m going through them so quickly
Would you like some garlic salt with that?
LOL, I jest, but still, I’ll put garlic salt on practically anything.
Yeah I’m weird, but hey, apple slices and peanut butter sounds pretty good too…
Get yourself shittin’ like a 15-year-old farmboy that way
I love mashing a can of tuna, mayonnaise, and sweet relish together in a bowl and either horking it straight or using it like dip on potato chips or doritos. Probably the most aggressively white and fat thing I do but it tastes good to my autism soooo
missing the mustard tho
Mustard isn’t a Food™ in my book, but sometimes it’s okay, I guess…
I’d rather not
That’s basically a tunafish sandwich without the sandwich. Add a bit of lemon juice and it’ll knock down the fishy taste. Add a bit more lemon juice for a bit more citrus excitement.
I accidentally added too much mayo to my tunafish the other day and fixed it with a bit of Panko, of all things. The extra crunch was super neat and was better than celery that some people add. (Panko, for those who don’t know, is a Japanese breadcrumb that is super close in texture to rice crispies. I thought it would help absorb the extra mayo, and it kinda did, but also kinda didn’t.)
it’ll knock down the fishy taste
If you don’t buy low quality “chunk” tuna the fishy taste is usually not an issue. Buy “solid” canned tuna as it’s usually nicer cuts of white meat rather than whatever ground up leftovers comes in the cans of “chunk”. And it’s only like 15c a can more.
Canning companies managing to market the level of meat quality as a simple difference in form has got to be one of the sneakiest marketing rug pulls ever accomplished.
Fresh-roasted nuts, like cashews.
Doesn’t matter the batch size, they need to be finished!
Damn you, now you just reminded me of my other goto food…
Sunflower seeds, pre-shelled, roasted and salted.
Fuck, now I’m hungry again…
Yet another snack that does very well toasted a bit in the AF. That thing’s a miracle worker for reviving stale snacks.
Umm, okay…
Neither cottage cheese nor sunflower seeds ever goes stale around me, they always get ate within 1 to 2 days…
Salted pistachios are basically crack
Mashed potatoes.
They will be no leftovers.
Muhfuggin Manwich sloppy joes. I can pack those away in such unhealthy doses.
I want like a sub sandwich with American cheese coated with manwich …
Maruchan ramen and chicken bouillon cubes. I was literally raised on these when my impoverished single mother couldn’t afford to feed us when I was a couple of years old. Sticks with you.
Cottage cheese and garlic salt for me
Not trying to yuck your yum, but what even leads one to try mixing these together? This sounds like a pregnancy craving sort of invention. When my mom was pregnant with me, she tells me she would make scrambled egg and mustard sandwiches. It sounded insane to me, but I tried it and actually love it, and now that’s my weird guilty food. :)
Salt and pepper is normal way to enjoy cottage cheese. Garlic salt isn’t a big leap.
It actually started off with garlic salt and Cheerios (in milk, I’m not a savage, I promise). I think it was around 2008, I had a tooth cavity, so I was avoiding sugar at all costs, but Cheerios taste like cardboard, so I needed some sort of flavor to it anyways, it just wasn’t gonna be sugar.
And so it came to be, I very rarely eat sweets anymore. I’m down to 24 teeth now, 7 of which have fillings, and I ain’t looking to lose any more teeth if I can possibly avoid it.
Peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon.
Ok but crunchy or smooth? Crunchy is my go to
Fresh ground is the best. It’s between chunky and smooth, I get mine from Bulk Barn (a Canadian chain)
Smooth for me, although I do like crunchy.
Olives and feta. I throw in tomatoes and call it a Mediterranean salad, but I’m really here for the salt.
“i think I’m hungry”
Eats cottage cheese…“never mind, I’m just bored”
I always have cottage cheese as my hungry food. It works great
Pickles. Or anything pickled for that matter. When I get a craving for something pickled, especially when I’m drinking beer, get out of my way!
Same. Pickles or olives.
Cottage cheese and potato chips preferably sour cream and onion chips.
Guilty? Isn’t that just basically health food? That was the craze when I was younger anyways.
Guilty pleasure is like strawberry ice cream with hot fudge sauce in a sugar waffle cone or something like that. Maybe deep fried.
Oh maybe you are saying that combination. But garlic and cheese go well together, no surprise there either. That is kind of cottage cheeses lot in the world: it kind of works with most things. Dont have enough ricotta for your manicotti? Cottage cheese will do in a pinch, and well.
