20 beers & a lack of sleep: what’s your hangover recovery meal?

You’ve been out the night before and had 1 too many beers/wines.

You’ve woken up with an insatiable hunger but your heads banging, what meal / snack are you making that’s going to fix all your problems?

The weirder the better, I’m looking for the odd ball taste cadets out there.

What is a "poor man's meal" from your childhood that you still eat today because it legitimately slaps?

For me, it’s literally just white rice, a fried egg, and a massive squirt of ketchup or soy sauce mixed together. My parents made it when money was tight, but I’m an adult with a decent job now and I still make it at least once a week when I'm tired. What’s that one struggle meal you refuse to give up?

What's your favorite fermented food and why?

I've tried gochjang, miso, kimchi, curd/ yoghurt and home made fermented tomatoes (which I found too salty). Not sure I like any of it and was wondering what others might like.

Traditional yellow rice

What are the toppings you like on your homemade yellow rice? I personally liked to go for baby carrots and peas, and/or some pieces of chicken and sweet and sour sauce for some flavor.

Ranch Dressing?

I would like to make my own ranch dressing mix. I've done it in the past, but ran out and just never got back to it. My question is around hydrating it to use as a dressing. Usually it requires mayo and buttermilk. How/for which would I substitute plain Greek yogurt? Could I use the yogurt, some non-fat milk (lactose free) and maybe lemon juice? I'm going to make up the mix regardless, but exploring options for making the dressing. I'm the only one who uses it, my husband doesn't care for ranch, but it works on top of tacos/Mexican chicken/fajitas and of course salad.

Food oddly hasn't gone bad after a month

I bought groceries mid april and had to leave them in the fridge for almost a full month due to an emergency trip. However nothing in the fridge hasnt gone bad; tomatoes are red all around, the lettuce has no brown spots and most shocking of all the milk doesn't smell foul and looks completely normal. Is there any explanation?

Best "hideaway" foods?

Hi! Apologies if this isn't the correct subreddit!

I live with roommates and tend to struggle with depressive swings that make me sleep all day and leave me STARVING at night - but all of my roommates are light sleepers who's bedrooms are right next to the kitchen. Usually, I will just grab bits and pieces, but I'm trying to get into the habit of... not doing that.
Lately, my "meals" of choice have been a bulk fruit n nut mix that I bought for myself, and the crackers that my household has forgotten about in the back of the cupboard. In any case, I was hoping to find some items that I can stash in my room so that I'm not a bother or waking anyone up with my late night adventures.

I suppose what I'm asking for are your recommendations for pantry-safe meals/snacks with very little/no prep. Hoping for cheaper items, but I'm open to anything!

Thank you in advance :)

Good Frozen Meals for Work? Preferably from Walmart

I mostly can only get food from Walmart or a gas station like Caseys due to my area. I tend to stick with frozen foods for work because my options tend to be either leftovers, sandwiches, or frozen foods and am just trying out different things. Only microwavable ones due to my work only giving us a mini fridge and a microwave. Preferably on the cheaper end but I do also want something at least slightly more healthy.

Is eating 1.7 pounds of walnuts every week too much?

I’m not exaggerating when I say this… I literally eat the Costco store bought size. Sorry if this is not the right subreddit to ask.

What are the most divisive foods?

Some foods are loved by nearly everyone (eg. chocolate, pizza, cake, ice cream, etc). Some foods are hated by nearly everyone (eg. Brussels sprouts). But what about foods that are virtually 50/50?

There is the obvious one: Marmite (whose ad campaign has always been "love it or hate it." The only other thing I can think of is cilantro. There must be others?

Which foods do you think divide opinion 50/50?

How to keep basil fresh?

I buy basil, it looks good, I take it home, remove the plastic wrap and put it in a glass with a little bit of water to keep it fresh.

Then the next morning it’s wilted, turning brown as sluggish and some of the leaves on to stop are drying out.

What am I doing wrong? How do I keep it fresh for more than 4 hours?

I buy it fresh, with some roots and it’s always sitting in water in the shop.

Possibly ate one bite of bad rotisserie chicken

I ate the wing from a rotisserie chicken and it tasted totally normal. Took a piece from the breast and it tasted weird... Like lemony and peppery (not lemon pepper seasoning I've had this rotisserie chicken often), like bad breath? I think I only swallowed a small piece and then spit the rest out but I'm freaked out I'm going to get sick... I cannot afford that right now I'm taking care of three young children alone for the next 24 hours.... Help
