What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else? (lemmy.world)

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?

Cut up tortillas, fry them with some salt, when crispy crack two or three eggs in there and scramble. I grew up eating it and while it is delicious I don't think I would serve it to guests.

...that's essentially migas: people pay restaurant money for that...

Yeah now they do and I feel kinda vindicated TBH. Back when I was a kid this dish was compared to dog food by some of my classmates and teachers, I kid you not. Maybe I still carry some of that trauma and I wouldn't serve it to guests but I will gladly cook it for me and my kid, who also loves it.

...i mean, people pay restaurant money for ramen these days, too: every peasant food gets its day in due time...

If you soaked the chips in salsa first that sounds like chilaquiles.

[–] brian@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think as written it's migas, which is similar but not quite the same, notably the tortillas aren't smothered in salsa first

[–] Truffle@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Exactly this.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Fair.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I love migas!

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

That actually doesn't sound that bad lol

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Thank you for the suggestion.

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

Yum! I do this with tortilla chips crushed slightly and let them soak in the melting butter in the pan while it warms up. Same thing in reverse mostly. Delicious.

I love this, my kids do not. They do love chilaquiles, but those I make fried eggs for.

One skillet, good egg dishes. Shakshuka you might like too.
