Y'know, I genuinely thought I was gonna be the weirdest one here, but now I'm not so sure. There's at least competition.
My two favorite foods:
"Tuna" casserole that is refrigerator cold. Tuna in quotes because I rarely ever actually add the tuna. It's just egg noodles, cheese, cream of mushroom soup, normally with broccoli or peas in it.
Ramen Noodle Garbage Bowl: ramen noodles, drained, with cheese, mustard, curry, smoked paprika, blackened kielbasa/smoked sausage, and diced fresh tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes. Often has other random ingredients. Add just enough boiling water to get everything to mix well.
I made a variation of your garbage bowl, I call it regrettios. Crunch 2 ramen packs, cook and strain. Add a can of tomato soup and cheddar cheese, made that all the time as a kid
That sounds pretty good, actually. Another I really like is ramen, cooked and drained, and homemade pimento cheese and fresh tomatoes. OMG, so good. Ramen is also excellent with poached eggs and sausage with cheese. It's an all purpose carb.
So from what I've gathered from the internet it's apparently considered weird, but Doritos (usually spicy nacho or salsa verde) dipped in cottage cheese. When I'm depressed I'll scarf down half a bag of chips (and about a third of a tub of cottage cheese).
Sitting in a big cardboard box with my wife and closing the flaps. We were both very stressed at the time and it just felt very cozy and quiet in there.
If I had the room I would have kept it. Instead I bought a foldable pop-up tent to try to recreate the feeling, but it's just not the same.
it's a rewarding challenge, but i am fully on board with integrating the chips into sandwich technology.. i've been using that one since cheese and potato chip sandwiches back in the day..
Chowing down on the cheapest and shittiest cookies i can find. Don't know how I got the habit but I've definitely eaten 2 dozen packs in a sitting before when I was really stressed
Lays lightly salted plain chips dipped in vinegar or ketchup. It just hits better than salt and vinegar chips or ketchup chips. Dill pickle chips work well in the vinegar too.
Ever since I was a child, I've loved stale rice crackers. Specifically, the stage of staleness where they're no longer super crunchy and have started going slightly rubbery (if they go past that, it's no longer good). Something about the texture/mouthfeel is great to me. I used to leave my rice crackers to age before eating them. I don't do it as much anymore because I still like them well enough crunchy and I don't have the patience for it.
Other than that, I do enjoy putting a salted cracker in a sweet sandwich (jam, nutella, lemon curd, etc) to add some nice crunch. Works just as well with savoury sandwiches, but I think that's less weird.
