Peanut butter and honey is awesome. The honey sort of crystallizes when it meets the bread, which is great. I never tried Vegemite though. Anyone know where I can get it in the states, specifically the Midwest?

You can order it from Amazon. I order Marmite because I eat it by the jar and it's hard to find around Houston.

I'm considered gross about for salty I eat my food. I eat 12 grain toast with marmite and American cheese on it for breakfast every day. I go through bottles of soy sauce weekly. I snack on lemons dipped in salt. I have basically no ability to taste food flavors well, so I eat super salty stuff to make up for the lack of other flavors. I get bitched at about how awful it is for me a lot. That salted licorice sounds heavenly, incidentally.

Also, my Mom makes pear salad for Sunday dinner every week. Diced canned pears, shredded cheddar, shredded iceberg, all layered with a big dollop of Miracle Whip. It looks exactly as gross as you'd think, and it's oddly gritty. I love that horrible "salad" though.

I recently found a recipe for chocolate sauerkraut cake in an old cookbook from military wives stationed in Germany, but I haven't quite worked up the courage to try it.

I make this cake all the time for my Dad. He was in the Air Force and my Mom made it as a joke once when he was coming back from a long stay in Germany. He liked it so much that it's become his go-to birthday cake. It's actually completely delicious, provided you blend the unholy gently caress out of the sauerkraut. If you miss that step, it'll have a very odd texture, but it's still pretty loving good.

My family eats loads of totally anti-food porn food thanks to military wives. The 70s were batshit insane for food, near as I can tell. Weirdest food I've seen and enjoyed was pineapple juice poached haddock with cashew and coconut crumble. It was called Easy Al's Super Fish, as the fashion in military cookbooks was to name your food in "hilarious" ways.

I should dig my old books out and post some of the horrifying photos of the military wive's food. Some of it is downright horrifying.

I guess I'll be the edgy, controversial one and say that I would not like to eat bugs.

I'll be edgy and controversial and say that I've eaten bugs and they were loving disgusting no matter how they were prepared. They don't necessarily taste awful, though anyone saying they're "nutty" or "meaty" or whatever is lying because they always have an undercurrent of...dirt or something. Tangy dirt. Ugh. And the texture is just...wrong. They have the texture of a freaking insect. The legs, man. THE LEGS. Did you ever get a grasshopper stuck on your pants or have to dispose of a roach and you could feel the grabby bits on the end of their feet? When you eat insects those bits get stuck in your throat and, if you're normal, make you want to claw your neck off just to get it out.

I'm not a fan of bug eatin' is what I'm saying.

Couldn't you pull off the legs, though? still would not eat insects

I did pull off the legs after the first few gagging attempts, but the exoskeleton of all but the tiniest of ants still sticks in your mouth and throat for the most part. There's just no real way to not know you're chewing on something that's an insect. And some of the larger bugs were kinda gloopy and would squirt a bit of guts into your mouth when you bite down. Just never a good experience.

Oh, and the roast grasshoppers I tried? Their eyes would would pop when you bit into them. Just a dry little snap that lets you know that, yep, THAT WAS A GRASSHOPPER FACE.

I frequently eat questionable cuisine from around the globe. I love durian, (featherless!) balut was tasty, properly prepared raw meats are great, scary Sunday pot luck casseroles are delightful. But bugs? Bugs are a NO every single time.

edit: I lied! Deep fried tiny ants? loving delicious popcorn and chile flavored treats. I'd eat those again in a heartbeat.

Yes that's the ticket! Giant crickets and grasshoppers to munch on while you weep silently about the terrible apocalypse that lead to all forms of food that aren't nightmare monsters to disappear. And while you chew, you can thank the god you stopped believing in that THESE giant bugs didn't turn into Starship Troopers bug aliens and develop giant face suckers and stabby feets.

Also crustaceans are too groovy to eat. I had a pet lobster that was way more awesome and loving than any cat I've ever had. Poor delicious sea bugs.

There's nothing wrong with a good spread. poo poo's delicious when all you've eaten that day is worse than hog slop and your kitchen is a water kettle and a few bunk's worth of commissary.

Keep that poo poo behind bars where it belongs though, drat. I mean, I crave freeze dried beans cooked with doritos and ramen all the time. That's called "PTSD" don't give in.

A large community of people has individuals in it that have spent time in jail? SCANDALOUS.

Also LOL if you think the weird poo poo made with commissary isn't a step up from whatever it is the kitchen flopped on a tray three hours before it gets to your tank. I had a "cake" made out of melted caramels, crushed cookies, and snickers that made me weep. Possibly because we were having it to celebrate another inmate finding out she was pregnant, but it tasted damned good.

edit: A prison food thread would be really short on recipes. Even including flavor variations combining hot-ish water, ramen, beans, chips, pepperoni, and pickle juice into slop is pretty limiting.

Yeah, this is anti-food.




My roommate was proud of this garbage, I did not eat it. It glistens. Everything is covered in syrupy chili sauce and banana ketchup.

Honey, chocolate, cool whip, stale microwaved tortilla. Fuckin' gringos is too polite.



Coca-Cola Punch. Orange, pineapple, lime and lemon juice in coca cola sounds refreshing. Instead it tastes like dumpster juice smells.
