also i eat prawns w.the shell on cz i like to pretend i am a cat (not the head or the legs though cz they = scary and tickly respectively)

Take one ordinary slice of white bread.

Get a squeeze bottle filled with honey. (The good kind CAN be found in squeeze bottles, ya food snob.)

Drizzle honey all over slice of bread.

Leave out for a minute. (Gives the sugary honey time to start to crystallize on top of bread slice.)

Gobble up gently, making sure to lick any honey threatening to drip from sides.

There, you've just recreated what one of my favorite snacks is.

dressing? on avocados?

― Texas Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 20 August 2003 21:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't know other people just ate bread and honey. I knew people drizzled honey on top of buttered toast, but I didn't know other people did what I do. Hm. Next you'll be telling me other people eat (American-style) pancakes that are just buttered, with no syrup or anything "sweet" on top.

difft in the sense of this thread wd be if you poured the honey onto the sides of the bread not the face eg

3. grab sugar shaker, dump onto butter
4. close roll, eat as fast as possible

Luna, you rock even harder in my universe. Mind you, the only pancakes I will drizzle syrup over is the Harvest Grain & Nut pancakes from IHOP, but even if you do on occasion what I do regularly, that is fantab!

― Jane Datsun (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 21 August 2003 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

what is the normal way to eat kiwifruit then if not with the skin on, sliced in half and eaten with a spoon?? that's how's normal to eat them here where they're from!

Anyone know a good way to eat tamarillos that involves eating them hot? I half baked one whole last night, it was quite good; I ate it with feta.

People have been known to get disgusted/annoyed with me for opening a banana at the end which has the least space (if that makes sense - the usual end people open them) but apparently this other way is how monkeys open them and it seems to work better, it's easier. So yeah, where food eating methods is concerned the way to go = copy the monkeys.

Jello is to be eaten through clenched teeth by suctioning it through! (Note: this is way more fun when you're a kid, especially when you store it up in your cheeks and occasionally smack your cheeks with your palms when someone is walking past.)

― Al Andalous, Thursday, 21 August 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been eating big chunks of raw garlic on top of my peanut butter on toast lately. That's not very strange though, surely.

for years I didn't use any margarine etc on bread/toast, just put the spread straight on but now I can't imagine how I liked it that way; I really like to use quite a lot of marg now.

Tell that to the people who actually saw me shoot foam out of my mouth and nose, quite unexpectedly, in the back office of a store I was working at once. It was quite the spectacle.

I mix cereal too, but I do it for more mundane reasons, like making a sweet or fatty cereal less so by mixing it with a very healthy one.

Everyone thinks I'm a freak for putting ice cream sandwiches in the toaster--just enough to get the ice cream a lil soft--which is ridiculous since there are much better reasons for my freakosity.

I highly recommend putting a teaspoon of soy sauce in the seed well of an avocado half and then mashing up. Toast heavily seeded bread (I chose a multigrain sourdough), rake the toast with garlic and then spread the mashed soy/avocado on the toast. Also good to throw in the seed well: WASABI.

Orrrrrrrrrr dispense with soy/wasabi and use crispy bacon instead, in a toasted sandwich. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I was amazed when I first learned about it, but it's way easier.

Also, I know kiwi with a spoon has it's issues, but the first time I saw it was when a girl I had recently started dating did it, and so now I associate it with complete adorableness.

My mom can't eat a banana with even one ripe-freckle on it; those go to me. She makes absolutely amazing banana bread for this very reason.

Bananas dipped in chocolate and then frozen a la popsicle w/lolly stick = seriously the bomb.

― WHEN CROWS GO BAD (suzy), Thursday, 17 June 2010 18:37 (fifteen years ago)

I've never had a frozen chocolate-covered banana explode on me, so I can't agree they are seriously any type of bomb. They are good, though!

Hey, the "top" of a banana is really the bottom, and the "bottom" is really the top anyway. Bananas grow like this:

yeah, monkeys are well known for their madness and not known at all for their divine and timeless wisdom. it's not like the LORD appeared to the chief monkey 20 million years ago and said unto him, "whosoever eatheth of the elongated yellow fruit, which is not overturned in his hand, so that the stem of it reacheth unto heaven, shall surely be stoned with dung."

humans are better than hairy apes at most activities that don't involve chucking their own feces or entertaining Jane Goodall. opening bananas without the handle is primitive and reactionary in the worst possible way.

― Humbert Humberto Suazo (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 17 June 2010 18:53 (fifteen years ago)

but as you've probably never done it you should stfu?

― Humbert Humberto Suazo (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 17 June 2010 18:53 (fifteen years ago)

I tried it several times after I first heard about the monkey method. it's totally impractical because you have to dig your fingernail under the tiny bit of stem you have to work with, and you have to press on the banana as you open it because you don't have the natural leverage that comes from opening it with the handle. the result is that it's really easy to accidentally squish the end of the banana as you open it. plus you have to peel off and throw away the brown, fibrous tip of the banana, which you don't have to worry about if you open it the human way. monkeys probably don't care about squishage, and they probably eat the tip of the banana without a second thought, but jim, I am not a monkey.

― if you see her, say ayo (unregistered), Thursday, 17 June 2010 19:06 (fifteen years ago)

end of the banana is perfectly edible and if you're digging your fingernails in, which you don't really need to do, you should be able to pluck it off as you open the banana.

― Humbert Humberto Suazo (jim in glasgow), Thursday, 17 June 2010 19:08 (fifteen years ago)

Since there is a new banana thread now, this seems as good a place as any to ask why the manual for my fridge says not to put citrus fruit in the fridge. Is there a good reason for this? There is pretty much always half a lemon or half a lime in my fridge and I haven't noticed any problems.
