Strange food combinations

Ramen noodle variation #23

boil water & cook noodles as normal.  Do not add seasoning packet.  Drain water, add sour cream & seasoning packet.  MMMM!!!

So now that you've got the noodles in one pot, and water, the seasoning packet, and sour cream in another pot,  which do you eat, and which do you find to be "MMMM"?

Fluffer-Nutter

Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread.

[shmokes]

That sounds unhealthy. 

Drew....don't worry about it.  I pour the seasoning on top of the block of noodles and then flip it over, but that's only because I'm retarded and develop a system for EVERYTHING.  As long as you pour the packet in the pan it will get where it needs to go, cos all the water boils out and the seasoning will make it to the noodles when you stir them around the pan.  Once you try it, be sure to post back here.  I want to start a revolution.  I'm sure you'll love it.  It's not gourmet or anything, but beats the crap out of the regular way and makes a helluva meal for 15 cents.

I had heard that OCD didn't usually extend to cooking

That's the thing, you can try WHATEVER you want with Ramen noodles, if you screw 'em up, you're only out your time, and 10 cents.  Stop going to those gourment froo-froo grocery stores and you'll find 'em for 10 cents.....with three kids, my wife and I STOCK UP when they have a sale on 'em and they're selling for between 5-7 cents!

I'm gonna give your method a go ~halftime today.


I've heard of that Fluffer Nutter, but didn't know exactly what it is.  Doesn't sound strange[/b]  at all.  It's not like you're using relish instead of marshmallow fluff or anything.

[DrewKaree]

Initial reaction before tasting - COMPLETE AND TOTAL MUSH.  Perhaps ¹/₂" of water will suffice for most non-mush loving folks.  Also, using the amount of water you say, shmokes, takes FOREVER and a day for the water to reduce.....I also threw in some olive oil to help with sticking, some basil and garlic in the beef Ramen.

More to come after tasting and eating - it's hot as all get out right now.

*More*

It DOES make it....not tastier, but kinda "concentrates" the flavor so that it's more noticeable....same flavor, but more of it. 

If you do NOT like eating mush, do NOT use as much water as shmokes advocates.  Try covering half the block, as when the water was about half gone, that's when they started to break up and become eatable as we all know 'em.

Knock yourself out with different seasonings doing it this way.  Just like the seasoning packet flavor gets more intense, so too do the other seasonings you throw in there.  I've got some roasted bell pepper & garlic seasoning I'm gonna try (along with FAR less water) in the next batch.  The basil and garlic were dynamite, as well. 

Make SURE when you follow the water instructions you're using a smaller frying pan, or reduce the water accordingly.  I used an 8", but I'll give my 7" a try with half the water next time.  Also, shmokes can testify whether or not I'll be correct, but I think if you DON'T put some form of oil/butter in there, the noodles may stick to the pan. 

The residue left in there when cooking it like this would make a DYNAMITE screw-hole filler for your cab - thus bringing this thread full circle and back to relating to our hobby

A regional "delicacy" up in these neck of the woods is called Poutine. Its really good but most people not in the know thinks it looks like puke.

Take some french-fries
Sprinkle em with cheese curds
Pour tasty brown-gravy over the lot

The gravy melts the cheese. Then you eat up all the gooey mess with a fork. Yummmmm Me!

I've had those before at Truett's Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia.  That IS good, but unless someone at my table ordered it, I may have never tried it, as you ARE correct on the look!

[sasuke_kun12]

oh yeah? mango and rice! it's like savory and sweet at the same time! we damn philipinos.....

What!?!  That's not a strange food combination.  Not only have I been eating those for years it's a friggin recipe on the side of the Fluff jar!

[Generic Eric]

One thing to note is I found the sandwich came out much better if you toasted the bread.

[shmokes]

LMAO.....yeah, when I'm just cooking one I cook it in a little 6" frying pan.

[Samstag]

So I'm the only one eating oreos with his Guiness?

Or is that not considered a weird combination?

[Shape D.]

When I was younger I used to eat Balogney and nacho cheese dorito sandwiches. just put some margarine on your bread throw on th balogney and your doritos and you have on fabulous sammich.

Frying ramen works great , try throwing some meat and vegetables in with it. Its a meal for $3

[bionicbadger]

Popcorn with soy sauce 

[crashwg]

Popcorn with soy sauce 

The thought of that litteraly makes me nausious!

[Hoagie_one]

two items on teh disgusting food type.

1)  Pork chop cereal.  Secretary at work told us her ex husbands mother used to take pork chops, place them in a baking pan, fill it with corn flakes adn milk and bake it.   Nasty

2) Cheese kool-aid.  1 packet of kraft mac and cheese powder, 1 cup of sugar, 1 quart of water.  Served best cold.  Super Nasty

[ChadTower]

My wife will mix ketchup with mayo (or if we're out of ketchup, I've seen her use straight mayo) and uses it for fries.

[GGKoul]

Swap Water = 3 equal parts of Coke, Orange Pop and Sprite.

Toast with Strawberry Jam dipped in Chocolate Milk.

Deep Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches.

You can get that in every fast food restaurant in my area.  It's GREAT!!

[Magnet_Eye]

Popcorn with soy sauce 

oh yeah. spekaing of this, there are these people where I live that just LOVE to sprinkle BREWER'S YEAST all over their popcorn. YUCK! They even have jars of it at all the local theatres due to the demand. wth is going on here?

[DrewKaree]

Hmmm...I loved "ants on a log" as a kid.  Carrot stick with cheeze whiz on top then coated with raisens.     The idea turns my stomach nowadays.

They don't use cheese, but Chick-fil-A makes a carrot & raisin salad.....swap the cheese for pineapple, and add some mayo......I HATE....and when I say HATE, it's just because it's the easiest way for you to comprehend the utter disgust I'm filled with when eating carrots.....carrots, but that stuff....I could eat it every day and twice on Sunday!  _{if they were open on Sundays}

[Mameotron]

Wow.

[Bones]

I have a mate who loves the taste of tomatos but can't eat them because of the texture. I think he is a freak myself though......


Favorite Tabasco sauce recipe:
Gravy (real gravy from a dead chook), violently splashed with a plethora of Tabasco sauce and mopped up with garlic bread. It's the best and it's simple. You can try this at home kids.

[shmokes]

I have a mate who loves the taste of tomatos but can't eat them because of the texture.

That's how my wife is with Flan (a Mexican dessert).  That makes more sense, though, as its texture bares some reseblence to the stuff that you cough up when you have a bad chest cold.

[shmokes]

My wife will mix ketchup with mayo (or if we're out of ketchup, I've seen her use straight mayo) and uses it for fries.

Heh...Drew, maybe I went to school with your wife.  That little concoction is called "fry sauce".  I can get it in any fast food restaurant here. 

Check this link out:   Fry Sauce - Regional Food from Utah

And by the way, in Holland, they cover their french fries in straight mayo.  It's discusting.

[Bones]

[shmokes]

  Heh....true that.  But I've seen it in person.  They get their fries from vendors on the street in big paper cones, kinda like what you see those glazed almonds served in during the holidays.  And on top the vendor will scoop an enormous scoop of mayo.  It's seriously revolting.

[DrewKaree]

Hey shmokes, I'm getting it down to a science, and each time it's getting better, as you foretold.

Yesterday, I used 10 oz of water....just a touch more than a touch too much.  I'm a bit ill today, so the experiment will have to wait until the next "I'm hungry" day, but here's something for ya - I've only got Chicken Ramen left, and there is a spice that makes it OHSONICE!  McCormick's Big 'N Bold concoctions, it's the roasted garlic & (red?) bell pepper.....a shake of it on each side (4 shakes total, lest someone get cornfused) along with the seasoning packet. 

Also, BE SURE to use a non-stick pan, and add a shot or two of olive oil to prevent sticking/add flavor.

If'n yer feelin' REALLY saucy, add a dash or four of the Chipotle Tabasco.

I'm a-gonna try using 4 oz Riesling and 4 oz water next time.  After that, I'm gonna see what getting a life will do for me!


p.s.  My wife thinks I'm nuts cooking ramen this way, but what the heck does she know?  She's a mayo freak

When I was in 5th grade, we had to give presentations on how to do a particular task, the task to be chosen by us.

So the resident class clowns teamed up, and gave us a demonstration on how to make a toasted peanut butter, mayonaise and pickle sandwich.

Everyone was grossed out, but they ate it, every bite.

So later in the week, I decided to try it myself.  It's actually quite good!  Although I haven't had one in years.  I might make one today, though.

One of my more recent favorites is when you make boxed mac-n-cheese, instead of adding milk, you sub sour cream instead.  Not particularly odd, but nice.

Then there's what my kids call 'Spicy dip-dip'

3/4 cup mayonaise-ish (all measurements are ish because I just dalop the stuff until it looks right)
Tablespoon of red pepper sauce.  Use green for a change.
Tablespoon of ketchup
Few dashes of chili powder.

Stir until mixed, then use on frys, fish, whatever. 

[HaRuMaN]

You sick puppies... 

[psik0tik]

Ive been made fun of these wierd food combos so im seeing who has wierd food tastes...heres mine.
Banana and mayo sandwich
smashing doritos in any sandwich I make
dipping mcdonalds fries in my shake.

[Bones]

Tabasco on every meal except breakfast. If I have eggs or sardines for breakfast, then Tabasco is on every meal of the day. Go through a bottle every two weeks.

[SirPeale]

We did this one before, can someone dig it up?

[Bones]

By your command.

May the force be with you and nannoo, nannoo.

[SirPeale]

Thanks.  Merged the two.

[cholin]

Its funny because most of the things that were mentioned, are probably going to be made by someone today   Ill probably try the mac n cheese and tuna.

Anyways, everytime I go to Wendy's, I get a frosty and some fries.  Dip the fries in the frosty, its AWESOME!  My whole family would watch me eat them in disgust until I bribed them to try it.  Now, every time we go to Wendys, theres like 4 fries, 4 frosties

ITS GOOD!

[quarterback]

Ill probably try the mac n cheese and tuna.

That's probably a pretty safe bet compared to some of the things in this thread.

[Truz]

heh in reference to the mizing all of the soda together from the tap, which someone said was a suicide, we used to call that a "Graveyard".


Anyways i remember once when i was a kid i made a Chips Ahoy cookie sandwich. Basically a bunch of chocolate chip cookies on white bread. Kind of weird.


Also all of these weird combinations makes me think of a food staple here in New Jersey. Anyone here ever been to the Grease Trucks at Rutgers. Man they do have some damnf fine sandwiches. Basically they throw a whole bunch of fried foods on a bun and give it a funny name. My personal favorite is a "Fat Darrell" which consists of chicken fingers, mozarella sticks, french fries, marinara sauce, all put onto a nice big roll. Damn that is good. They have a bunch of other crazy sandwiches but i cant think of em off the top of my head. Also if you manage to eat 3 of them in one sitting, you get to name and make your own sandwich that gets placed on the menu. A bunch of my friends go to Rutgers (i go to Seton Hall), so we usually go there for late night snacks. Anyone else in NJ ever been there?
