I’ll start: pesto as a bagel topping.
Toasted Cinnamon Raisin bagel with peanut butter, cheddar cheese, and bananas. - the cheese + bananas is what gets me looks.
People put mayo on cheese sandwiches and banana sandwiches, so why not?
My favourite pizza topping is pepperoni and flaked tuna, the good stuff too so it’s meaty oily tuna.
Love it but so many people think I’m odd for it. The meaty flavours compliment each other!!!
I’m not even sure I need to read the rest of the thread after this comment. You win by default! I guess it makes as much sense as anchovies on pizza though.
chips + jam
specifically, kettle chips (plain salted or unsalted) with a nice strawberry or blackberry jam to dip them in…
where it really gets controversial is that I like to do this with the bonne maman jams 🙈
I love eating a raw potato like an apple, for whatever reason. Any time I’m cooking a dish with potatoes, I’ll wash and peel one for me to eat. My boyfriend looked like I had grown a third arm the first time he saw me do it.
It’s the perfect mix of crunchy and juicy, but not sweet.
Raw potatoes are like semi toxic. Do you not get any GI upset from doing that?
No, never. AFAIK they aren’t toxic, just that the starch is poorly digested. Either way, I’ve never gotten sick from it, so 🤷
It’s odd because I have had digestive issues off and on through the years, but the potatoes have never precipitated it. (It’s mostly anything spicy, which sucks as I love spicy food-- it’s a price I pay willingly sometimes)
Solanine is a glycoalkaloid poison found in species of the nightshade family within the genus Solanum, such as the potato, the tomato, and the eggplant
Raw potatoes certainly are mildly toxic, it’s not just undigestible starches.
Most home processing methods like boiling, cooking, and frying potatoes have been shown to have minimal effects on solanine levels. For example, boiling potatoes reduces the α-chaconine and α-solanine levels by only 3.5% and 1.2% respectively, but microwaving potatoes reduces the alkaloid content by 15%. Deep frying at 150 °C (302 °F) also does not result in any measurable change.
They’re no more toxic than cooked potatoes, unless you only eat microwaved ones.
Pizza with hollandaise sauce base instead of tomato sauce. My father almost disowned me for it.
I’ve heard of white sauce base, garlic sauce base, hell even bbq sauce base, but hollandaise? The eggs benedict topping?? I’m about to disown you too
eggs benedict
Dude, I’m gonna be super controversial right now, just to tick you off…
Doughy base with toppings and sauce? Remind you of anything? What if eggs benedict are just a type of pizza? Ever think about that?
