r/somnigastronomy

IRL, I sometimes smoke weed with a friend of mine. In my dream the other night, were standing outside their apartment and I was eating a joint roughly the size of a hot dog (bun included). It was unlit. It was basically exactly as you would expect: tasted like weed, dry, the paper was papery. The filter (which I ate last -- were I smoking it, the joint would've been backwards) was unpleasantly crunchy.

Edit: Also, no weed fell out. This was a crumbless experience. The paper tore and chewed a lot easier and the weed stayed together a lot better than it would IRL.

I think this is kind of borderline somnigastronomy, but it was in a dream and I did eat it.

I am trying to make a new type of cookie after the idea came to me in a dream. My idea is to have a lemon cookie dough base with blondie like texture, marbled or swirled with a cheesecake component. I want the final cookie to have an overall soft texture.

I can find lemon cookie recipes. I can find cheesecake recipes. But I am unsure how to combine them into a cohesive cookie as I suspect the more liquid cheesecake component would puddle as it bakes.

The additional trimmings like white chocolate chips or graham cracker crumb swirl can be added no problem, I'm sure.

I have searched online and it seems nobody has attempted this visionary concept, which perhaps suggests it is not possible. But I am determined to try.

Had a dream about ordering this. It actually slaps.

Might make a fakemon regional grass/fairy Granbull form for fun inspired by this *falling asleep

Fat crocodile pond. You could even use a fat frog. Fat duck even. Fat animal in water is timeless. Perfect centrepiece. Elaborate pet rock.

No idea how accurate the 1.511 calories is but that is the number I saw

Well, dos leches because I ran out of milk

I don't recall any context. My dream was almost like my consciousness was a microwave/oven or simply a box while the item inside was being crafted, without hands, as it slowly rotated.

A simple plain homemade donut. The wrapped in, somehow, a Pillsbury toaster strudel. Fully wrapped around the entire donut. Then fried and coated in the toaster strudel frosting, but it was chocolate. I didn't get to taste it. Only observe the item and watch it join others in one of those shelves at a donut shop. Every one filled with the same thing.

So, it opens with my mom and I in a car. We were going to a grocery store because she *really* wants to try this “traditional Chinese dish,” which as an Appalachian Gen Xer isn’t really something I’d ever expect from her. It had a Wikipedia page and was black rice with strands of yellow egg in it. I remember it being phonetically something like /dzɤʉ̃/ or /dzɤŋ/. Oh, also while we were at Kroger, Ted Cruz was giving a speech about truancy? He looked right at me and said “If this were 10 years ago, I’d call the cops on you right now for being out of school.”

He’s not even my senator, and ostensibly we were in WV

So I wake up and try to find this dish. Mind you, prior to this dream I had no clue black rice even existed. I couldn’t find it but thought it’d be fun to try and recreate it.

It turned out really, really good

Here’s the recipe if you’re interested:
1 cup black rice (uncooked)
2 eggs
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 tsp sesame oil
1–2 tsp soy sauce
Salt, to taste
Pinch of pepper to taste
Pinch of chili powder or flakes
Tiny pinch of ground clove

Rinse the black rice

1. Add salt and pepper
2. Dice the scallions, wait to place them in the rice until plating so they remain crunchy
3. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the clove and chili powder
4. In a skillet, add butter or oil if it’s not nonstick

or if it is

1. you do you lol
2. Combine the eggs and scallions with the rice, add the sesame oil and soy sauce.

Enjoy — if you ever cook this and riff on it let me know in a DM because I liked my first attempt but I think it could be better.

Still can't believe my subconscious invented a dish convincing enough that I woke up and tried googling

Basically as I was passing out at 3 in the morning, I dreamt McDonald's made a new breakfast sandwich that was like an egg McMuffin but it had some sort of spicy honey mustard sauce and sliced jalapenos. All I remember was they added hella slices of jalapenos and it smelled... So good. Anyways, I told my youngest brother about it and as you can see, he made it. It was super good. Totally worth.

I made u/wwthrityfivex35's Cranberry Sharks using the recipe u/dorianfinch suggested in the comments!

I added a little oat milk to some of them to make the opaque gummies. It didn't change the flavor much but it made them a cute pink color.

They're delicious. It's like eating firmer set, homemade cranberry sauce!

I work in a kitchen where we have bread that doesn't contain any of the 14 major allergens (gluten, crustaceans, eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, soy, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame, sulphur dioxide, lupin and mollusks) and I had a dream where I started a rival business making bread that was guaranteed to contain all of them in every bite. People were pissed, because it is ridiculous, but apparently was really tasty. I can't eat it because I'm allergic to some of the ingredients, but I made it my life goal to get it more popular despite how many people got sick from it

I also did an orange. everyone loves the deli sliced watermelon!! highly reccomend if you have deli slicer access .
