    For some reason I get the weirdest looks then I say the best milkshake is peanut butter + chocolate + banana.

    Mayo on Ramen. Kewpie mayo swirled over spicy Ramen broth.

            I’ve lived in and visited Japan and it’s definitely weird over there. I’m sure you can find it, though. They do like mayo. They even put it on pizza.

    Bacon and water melon. Discovered by accident when I was late going on my offshore shift. I swung by the galley just to pick up something so I wouldn’t run on fumes for the next 6 hours before breakfast. Upon entering the back deck, I stuffed it all in my mouth to free up my hands, and that’s when I noticed the godly combination.

    It’s probably due to being my “struggle food” as a child but there is no better snack than just a blob of butter between two saltine crackers. It’s heaven

    My grandfather taught me the sublime joy of fresh bread smeared with fresh butter, wild honey, and garlic powder.

    Most people I told about that would start singing that old Sesame Street song: 🎶 three of these things belong together… 🎵 after giving me side-eye and realizing I wasn’t joking.

        It looks like it’s a thing now, likely an infection from the USA. But back then it was considered really weird.

      We call it Spezi and Mezzo Mix in Germany. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzo_Mix ( To be fair, it’s with orange soda not orange juice )

      I drink half cola half wine. People scream bloody murder at me. I don’t care - it’s awesome. (If trying it do it with cheap wine, it’s a waste to do it with good wine.)

        In Germany that’s called Cola Red or Cola White depending on the wine. It’s what we used to pre-game before Vodka Red bull existed.
        In my area, Cola Red was called Korea for some reason.

    Does eating meat with the bones count? Ever since I’ve had teeth I’ve loved eating bones. I remember telling my friend how good bones are and she looked at me like I had three eyes…

      You mean the bone marrow? That’s not really uncommon, I’ve had bone marrow on bread at restaurants.

      If you’re swallowing the cooked bone itself… you’re gonna die dude. Puncture an organ or something.

    Stop looking me weird when I eat banana with gorgonzola, folks! It’s actually tasty.

    Also, at least in my chunk of South America, people look at the eggs+pork combo as something outright gross, but I got to admit that I love some pork sausages with fried eggs.

    Triple fried egg sandwich with chilli sauce and chutney. It’s state of the art. I found the recipe in a book on bacteriological warfare. It’s like a cross between food and bowel surgery. It’s well naughty.

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you’ll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won’t be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There’s a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it’s vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a “controversial” message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a “spammy” message must be applicable to four purple answers before it’s allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it “would be a copyright violation if the info was art” as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar’s Number) or less, it’s considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
