Shut up.
I’ve got to go withSterling Archer on this one.
A margarita has “Five ingredients. Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, ice, kosher salt."
No, he had peanut butter on the one slice of bread, mayo on the other, and sliced banana in between.
Kippered herring and bacon sandwich with mustard. It’s quite tasty.
Beyond that, it seems like the apex(nadir?) of sloth to buy what amounts to 2 parts lemon juice, 1 part sugar, 1/2 part water. Mix one of two ways- make the sugar & water into syrup, mix with lemon juice, or put all of it in a blender and blend until the sugar’s dissolved.
And… the “classic” Daisy-derived margarita recipe above (1.5 oz tequila, 1 oz lime juice, 3/4 oz Cointreau), is… tart, to say the least. To most people’s tastes, it really does benefit from a teaspoon of simple syrup.
A neat trick to make frozen margaritas in batches of 2 (or more) is to multiply everything above by the number of drinks, add 0.5 oz of simple syrup and 3.3 oz of water per drink. Put it in a ziploc bag and freeze for 4 hours or so (too long and the lime juice grows bitter). Take the frozen drink mix out of the bag into a blender and blend for a few seconds (literally- it doesn’t take too long), until smooth. Et voila, real frozen margaritas that don’t involve grinding ice cubes or some funky margarita machine.

I thought they were lamb chops in the dark, Chinese restaurant, until I saw none of my Chinese colleagues were eating them.
When I was a kid I nibbled on stock cubes, other times I ate cake mixture from the packet.
That doesn’t seem too weird, a lot of sandwiches include tomoto and mayo and mayo is the base for a lot of creamy salad dressings.
Cheers, bump!
A friend of mine once described seeing a woman on a bus or train pour an entire bottle of ranch dressing into a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and eat 'em up.
While I was in college and nearly broke, I developed a taste for my poor man’s burritos. Flour tortilla, instant mashed potatoes (mostly just dry spud flakes, salt and artificial flavors), some canned green beans and a squirt of sriracha. No cooking required and would last all day in my bag without refrigeration. These seem kind of gross now.
I’ve often mentioned how my mom never really learned how to cook. She did try, though.
One of her creations was kippered herring + cooked macaroni + melted butter + finely grated parmesan cheese. It’s actually pretty good and served as the basis for one of my creations.
Anytime we eat crab or lobster, my wife goes straight for the “brain” (green gland). I tasted it once… yes, rich and creamy, but still.
My grandpa used to (and I still occasionally do) split an english muffin in half, and toast it.
Meanwhile, dice an onion and cook fairly slowly in butter until it’s just past the translucent stage. Dump a can of kippered herring in (fish juice and all) and stir. Butter the muffin, dump the herring/onion on it (open face like a fishy eggs benedict). Put a slice of onion and a slice of lettuce on each half and eat either open faced or with fork and knife.
It’s better than it sounds.
Yeah, she was getting up there in years. I never gave that any thought.
This doesn’t sound bad at all, my wife sometimes fries a can of CB with ketchup and onions and peppers and serves it over noodles, it isn’t bad just a bit salty.
My father would drink my sister’s left over bottles of Isomil (soy milk for babies). He just buys soy milk, now that it’s readily available.
Milkbone dog biscuits would probably be the weirdest.
Put salt and pepper on the tomato, and put it between two pieces of mayo-smeared bread. Yum. In my family we call it the “poor man’s Whopper”.
What’s wrong with sheep eyes? I’ve eaten that several times!
It’s one of the few edible parts of a smalahove
Weird stuff I ate in Korea:
Sliced dog meat and dog meat stew
Steamed silkworms
Braised squid legs sold by a street vendor (Me; Where’s the rest of it?)
Some kind of mystery white fish nobody knew what it was called for sushi
Tomatoes in fruit salad with a dressing of mayonnaise
“Thunder Dutbokki”: a mix of rice cake, eggs, fish cake, and other stuff in a sauce so hot the regulars usually came just to laugh at people trying it for the first time.
Snake wine
Stuff I saw but didn’t try:
Mice wine
Dog wine
Deer antler “stamina” medication
A friend and I used to eat those just to weird people out. No flavor to speak of- just crunchy bland cornmeal.
Really? Gefilte fish is the weirdest thing you’ve seen someone eat?
