Anonymous wrote:NP here and I love real Parmesan cheese but green can parmesan is still my nostalgia-laden choice for eating alone with pasta and butter or on leftover pasta. My family mocks me mercilessly for this because they will only eat the "real" stuff. I eat both so PP is wrong when she says that you can't be a closet green can lover and also have and enjoy the real stuff when cooking for real.

I’m a PP from earlier who eats pasta with butter, parm, and hot sauce. I agree - both are good! I actually buy parm blocks, but I have a place in my heart for the green can stuff too. My parents are Asian immigrants with no real concept of the difference, so I grew up eating the green can stuff. They’re two different products, but both taste good on buttered pasta!

The weirdest is: Smoked oysters on triscuits. Sometimes with bits of smoked gouda cheese.

Others:
Macaroni with tuna and frozen peas.

Entire bags of homestyle microwave popcorn.

Microwave nachos with shredded cheese and tortilla chips. As a meal.

our mom used to make us peanut butter and sugar sandwiches (instead of w/ jelly). we would eat them open faced or two slices of bread.

Nestle Cerelac.

Take a marshmallow, squish it and stretch it between your fingers until it feels like taffy. Yum.

You don't have to court salmonella and can still enjoy!

Pie crust is usually just flour, fat (butter, shortening, lard, etc), salt, and water. Maybe a little acidity from lemon or vinegar. There can be an egg wash for color after it is shaped, but eggs are not typical.

If you buy premade crust with egg, consider making your own. Freezes well, too.

Flour is now labeled as a raw food that must be thoroughly cooked before eating.

Is this a joke?

No. There have been several major food poisoning outbreaks traced to uncooked flour.

All the marshmallows out of a box of lucky charms, when I had a kid in the house. I haven't quite allowed myself to just buy my own Lucky charms. I do think it's horrifying you can buy just the marshmallows though.

A tiny amount of butter cookie dough, basically flour and sugar and butter and vanilla mashed together, about the equivalent of a good size (but not large) cookie. I also ignore the salmonella possibility.

Not disgusting IMO but pb and jelly on saltines (as a sandwich, not open faced) is something I can eat endlessly. If someone else would change my sheets, I'd take a huge plate to bed with a book and just eat and read.

My mom used to do this, about a Tablespoon at a time. She’d put the slices on saltines, though. Something to consider if you are looking for a fig leaf.

Ha, are you my sister? My mom does this too!

Probably not, unless you live in St. Louis and are tragically referring to our mom in the present tense. Assuming not, you should make an inventory of the crazy/endearing things your mom does, tease her gently about them, and tell her you love her once a week at least.

Heck, just nuke em. They look awesome all puffed up and if you get it right they are toasted in the middle.

But I adore marshmallows that have dried up hard and leathery.

I do this too!!! Amazing

It tastes extra good eaten from a demitasse cup. So elegant lol

Another one here! But I'll use whatever peanut butter is around, natural or Jif.

Sometimes I’ll take sips of melted butter, eat spoonfuls of sauce leftover from dinner (Dijon cream, tikka masala, etc).

I also melt peanut butter and chocolate chips together in a mug and eat it by the spoonful.

I melt butter and honey and pour it over microwave butter popcorn.

Gross
