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?

I knew someone who would eat a tomato for dinner with a few slices of carrots. Nothing baked, just a plain uncut tomato and slices of carrots.

I'm talking a functionnal human being, knowing the concept of cooking and the ability to walk to their kitchen with such a "dish" as they would call it. Not vegetarian either. They did like meat and whatnot. Saddest "meal" I've ever had the horror to lay my eyes upon.

the carrots get sliced but the tomatoes is left whole???

Don't ask me why. Even I was speechless.

You can just bite into it, you know. More fun to eat it that way imo

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah but same with carrots. its the fact they went through the effort to slice the carrot but not the tomato.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I guess so. If they're going to do one I would've imagine it would've been the tomato, true

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I don’t care much about the what but the how. Biting into a whole tomato WILL make a mess. Simply cutting it in half greatly reduces the chance of that. If they already had a knife why not use it on the tomato. People are weird.

I'm a whole tomato-eater, and there is a way to eat them without being messy. The mess is divided into chambers, and you basically go one chamber at a time, suck out the mess in the chamber and then move on to the next.

...i can only eat firm roma tomatoes: gooshy tomatoes wig me out, always have...

The whole thing was so surreal that I never bothered to ask about it.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I was thinking that too, but maybe it was one of those hard, white-on-the-inside, unripe tomatoes.

If you are on a diet, this meal has very few kilojoules/calories. Fewer than a single slice of bread.

Wasn't on a diet. Thankfully, they ate more during lunch and didn't have any health issues due to eating weirdly but those "meals" were something else..

[–] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, can relate! Had a month-long period when all I craved were carrot and white onion salads with a tiny pinch of salt, a load of ground black pepper, and drowned in vinegar. Used to chop the carrots down into tiny strips.

[–] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In your case, you added something, it was a salad with pepper and salt during a time where you were craving something in particular.

What was crazy to me about the story I told was the poor tomato and carrots were unseasoned, bland, resting in the saddest plate I've yet to encounter, while the person eating it was considering what was in front of them a meal.

(Not sure why someone would downvote you for your comment by the way)

Ooh, I get it now! Yeah, that sounds unnecessarily spartan. Although healthy, I guess?

Sorry, focused more on the components than the context...

Indeed quite something...

Also, no need to be sorry, you did nothing wrong.
