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?

    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.

      hot dogs in Kraft Dinner

      If I had a million dollars,
      we wouldn’t have to eat Kraft Dinner.

        But we would eat Kraft Dinner
        Of course we would, we’d just eat more
        And buy really expensive ketchups with it
        That’s right, all the fanciest-, Dijon ketchup, mm, mm

      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

      …when i was a kid in puerto rico one of my friends brought a can of vienna sausages to our camp-out and i thought they were sooooo fancy, like seriously epicurean food…

      …i think we ate them with little bottles of tonic water, like old canada dry with the peel-away polystyrene labels, you know, sophisticated like james bond in moonraker…

      I’m surprised beef tongue was cheap over there back then.

      Beef tongue here is one of those “special delicacy meat” that I usually get to eat during really fancy feasts. It’s probably a pain in the ass to cook, but the texture is really something. So is beef cheek, but that’s a different topic.
