cold sauerkraut. Personally i think its weird as fuck to serve hot or lukewarm pickled cabbage but what do i know?!

High percentage dark chocolate. I also dip salt and vinegar chips into more vinegar

Sardines

I don’t know if east Asia (which I assume is what you’re referring to) has an analog to rice pudding, but…

Rice pudding - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

Rice pudding is a dish made from rice and milk, and commonly other ingredients such as sweeteners, spices, flavourings and sometimes eggs.

Variants are used for either desserts or dinners. When used as a dessert, it is commonly combined with a sweetener such as sugar. Such desserts are found on many continents, especially Asia, where rice is a staple. Some variants are thickened only with the rice starch, while others include eggs, making them a kind of custard.[1]

The article does mention a couple of similar east Asian dishes:

East Asia

Ba bao fan (Chinese) with glutinous rice, red bean paste, lard, sugar syrup, and eight kinds of fruits or nuts; traditionally eaten at the Chinese New Year

Put chai ko (Hong Kong) made with white or brown sugar, long-grain rice flour, red beans, and a little cornstarch. It can be commonly found as street food and has a gelatinous consistency.

Tarak-juk (Korea): juk (rice porridge) made with milk.

I mean, I can run down to my local 7-11 and get cups of the stuff 24/7.

Fries. They’re my absolute favourite food. Apparently that makes me common.

You should have been born in Denmark haha. At Christmastime we eat risengrød and ris a la mande, both are absolutely delicious

Your actions are proud and you should feel proud! (I will admit I’m having trouble getting in board with the person who likes miracle whip. The applications they described are legit, but MW’s ingredients are just so terrible, I can’t bring myself to endorse its use. Surely there are more natural alternatives?)

Surely there are more natural alternatives?

It’s a highly processed mayonnaise which they dilute with water and modified starch, then increase its volume by blowing nitrogen into the mix.

Fun fact:
It was invented during the Great Depression, for people who couldn’t afford real mayonnaise.
And mayonnaise was allegedly invented during the Siege of Fort St Philip in the 7-Years-War, because real cream wasn’t available.
So Miracle Whip is a poor man’s version of a wartime alternative to whipped cream.

I like 100% dark chocolate. Like Lindt 100% cocoa dark chocolate. I once pranked my office. I got reactions from “This is chalk. I fucking hate you.” to “I like dark chocolate, let me try some… What the FUCK!! This tastes like burnt tires!”

Pizza snobs are the worst when it comes to judging people over food they like.

I’m with ya here. It’s like kimchi. you wouldn’t warm kimchi. The exception for warm sauerkraut would only be a rueben sandwich for me

Kimchi is warmed regularly from use in kimchi fried rice to kimchi jiggae and beyond.

I love to put kimchi in ramen to give it a bit of acidity.

Same! It’s awesome in bibimbap too. I mean it’s awesome in pretty much anything but still lol
