I have discovered that eating cereal out of a giant serving bowl is awkward. It’s really hard to get the correct ratio of cereal to milk. Eating out of bizarre containers is kind of like the weird clothes you wear on laundry day. What’s your favorite non-standard eating situation?
Ahh, yes…Who hasn’t had a dishes war? Roommate Archive: Having cooked Thanksgiving, I refused to wash up; ended up stacking the dishes in the driveway, the wildlife tidied them up, it snowed & the dishes were ‘lost’…I think we ran over them before spring thaw! There was no winner in this war, we switched to paper plates until we parted ways!
Also about the strangest food I have eaten.
I have not eaten off of that strange things but Turrets syndrome (which I was recently undiagnosed with (yes i stopped having a mental disorder)) has caused me to eat some very strange things.
You know like Uranium and other rocks.
I am better at eating things that are less well inedible, mostly i chew on stuff.
I have to say my favourite out of the ordinary eating situation is eating Kraft dinner out of the pot with the spoon I cooked it with, but sometimes I like to use corn chips like Tostitos and scoop them up. It is good.
Seriously, Has no-one ever eaten soup out of a potato chip bag (stew actualy), really?
I should have given a better example of what i used to eat, cause I thought about it and salt is a rock.
Also sea salt contains Uranium, not much mind you but it dose contain Uranium.
I sometimes eat cereal out of a paper bag. When I’m in a rush in the morning and I don’t feel like trying to find a container then FIND the proper lid, I whip out a bag.
And yeah, I guess this is “roommates” week as someone already said.
Hm. Only things that occur to me is taking a pancake, folding it into a tube, pouring some syrup into the tube, and eating it whole like that, for the purpose of drowning out the taste of some awful eggs I had eaten.
And mash potatos once with no spoon, fork, or any other implement. Fingers only.
My best would have to be burnt toast trays.
Nobody wanted to wash dishes, so I made toast, portable, right?
I burned it, and then used it as a tray to transport some mini pizza bagles.
Best. Mistake. Ever
@Wolfgang Cloud: I’ve done that before, even when there were bowls and spoons clean in the house. My feeling is why dirty up more dishes than necessary? lol
One time we were out of milk, but I was very hungry for cereal. So I got 2 slices of bread covered one side of each with peanut butter, and put a big pile of Lucky Charms right in the middle and made a cereal sandwich.
I still actually do that every now and then, even when we have milk.
I often toss a couple of frozen waffles into the toaster in the morning, then get dressed and ready. When I come back, I take them out and pour the syrup into the little nooks and make a sandwich. It’s no mess and yummy. I’ve eaten salad with chopsticks because there were no forks. I like to just use a big spoon for my ice-cream if I don’t feel like getting a bowl and can’t eat from the carton. Who can say they haven’t used a big cup for cereal or a napkin for a plate?
Drinking homebrewed apple-blackcurrant cider out of a measuring jug whilst eating fruit loops out of a tupperware box.
Best.
Sharehouse.
Evarr.
Large, glass Purex measuring cups are great. I mean, no one can honestly say that they WEREN’T made to be eaten out of. Cutting boards are great to eat off of, too, since there are 2 even sides.
But my typical solution is lots of small sauce pans. You make a meal, eat from the pan, then put the lid on and store the left-overs in the fridge.
I usually have my morning soup in a massive coffee mug. It’s too big for actual coffee, but the best part is that it somehow retains the warmth o the soup for at least 30 minutes after the soup is gone, so it’s a godsend on a cold morning.
Dishes get done nightly at my place, or twice daily when there’s baking going on. We only have three mixing bowls and two measuring jugs, and only one set of measuring cups and spoons, so it has to be that way when baking.
When I was in Boy Scouts, we always tried to make things food that didn’t require dishes. For breakfast, if we had pancakes, we would take the pancake in our hand, pour syrup on the top and then fold it over so the syrup doesn’t drip on your hands.
I have eaten out of cups and foil bowls before. I would say that eating a salad with a spoon is the best/worst I have done.
Lunakrypt, you’re amazing. That has to be one of the craziest, most awesome things to eat I’ve ever heard of. I mean seriously, that is win.
Sometimes, in need of a plate, but unwilling to wash anything, my flatmate and I have been known to tear up old cardboard boxes for makeshift plates.
so one time we were out of cups, and for whatever reason we had an ubundance of bendy straws… anyway, I ended up sticking the straw into the water dispencer of my fridge, and using that for about a week… yeah… hardcore…
Eating salad with a pocket knife…very carefully. However, my stupidest idea was orange juice in a bag, and since I was unable to find a straw (bagged juice tends to slosh around everywhere), I decided to use a spent shell casing that was lying around, minus the primer of course. Needless to say, the taste of gunpowder and primer residue does little to improve the flavor of OJ.
A roommate and myself once had a hankering for some coffee. We had mugs, grinds, and hot water, but no filters. No paper towels even (which work like a hot damn if you just make a funnel out of them over the cup). In the end we found a pair of old work jeans and… yes. Jean-coffee. It was the hardest-won cuppa I’ve ever had, and it was terr… wonderful.
W-
o_o
My cat is giving me a huge freaking death-glare right now. Seriously, its disconcerting.
*Train of thought, it kaploded.*
Uhm, crap, what was i gonna post…
If I remember it later I’ll post again o_o Most I’ve ever done that I can remember this very second was using a shake spoon with a huge mixing bowl we used to use for eggs on sundays to have cereal in.
I’mma go hide now before my cat tries to kill me and wear my skin as a hat. o_o
We went on a camping trip and forgot… well almost everything really… so we cut up 2 soda cans with a piece of broken glass to cook our carne asada and chicken over a coleman stove, and boiled water in a pan we found sitting alongside the trail.
My weirdest one is definately not work safe lol. That’s all I’m gonna say. No room mates to bother me either, but then again, I still have yet to move away from the parents… So yeah.
Oh, wait, I got a safe one. I once ate screambled eggs off my bass guitar because I was practicing with it and was too lazy to clean a plate. That’s about it aside from the NSFW one.
About the weirdest thing I’ve done is eat jello with a straw. I usually have enough dishes that are at least approximately the right size that I won’t run out before I wash more. Although I do tend to schedule my eating around the dishes. “Okay, no clean soup bowls, no soup or cereal for a while. I’m out of table knives, no sandwiches… Guess it’s Hot Pockets.”
Try a three course meal all liquefied together and then eaten out of the blender through a straw.
Having your wisdom teeth out sucks.
so i discovered that if you take notecards, like the ones u take notes on in english class for those giant research projects, and make a circle and lay them on top of each other you can actually support items such as food on them, works just as well as a plate…aside from hot/wet items clinging to them…and the fact that is not exactly stable…then again ive never actually sat down and planned it out to be all that stable…just enough to the point to where i have to keep a hand under or something flat
My favorite awkward eating routine? Eating Chicken Noodle Soup through a straw. Me and my friend wanted chicken soup at two in the morning and were too lazy to wach dishes so we grabbed some bendy straws and started sucking! We did hafta pick out the chicken bits and eat them with our fingers though.
There are currently no clean dishes to be found anywhere in the house, with the exception of my cup (which I hide because it’s MY cup) and my Titanium spork (secreted in my mission pack). I will break down and wash all the dishes tomorrow, primarily because I hate it when people decide it’s okay to drink straight from the Brita water pitcher rather than wash any of the dishes they dirties.
Frisbee and chopsticks, don’t remember the food.
The backside of a used paper plate with broken pieces of a glass for silverware….. I was desperate. And moving out.
Fried rice off my key board, the back of my school books, straight off the table, ect. There are reasons why my current roommate never lets the dishes pile up.
in school i used to buy EXTREMELY chocolatey brownies, the kind with choc chips instead of nuts. (*alergies*)
i couldn’t eat one once, as i had just had SEX ED (*the horror |:O lol* ) so I wrapped it in my homework and ate it later… other than that…
well, eating a pot-noodle-in-a-cup in a cup isn’t strange, is it?
I think it STARTED with nobody-wanting-to-do-dishes, but even when there were bowls available, my siblings and I liked to eat cereal from a mug, and even with clean glasses available, we’d drink water from a jar.
