So what are some crazy things you used to come up with as slightly enhanced snacks? The 2 i remember so well n used to love were saltine crackers dipped in cool whip (just had a few ystrday) n sprinkle a little salt on an apple flavored jolly rancher stick. Anyone else love either of these?

This one grosses my husband & stepdad out, white rice with ketchup on it. I sometime have it for lunch when I'm home alone so I don't have listen to the commentary.

Not overly crazy, but: tortilla chips + shitty brick cheese + microwave = chips n’ cheese.

A delicacy.

I will eat this any time.

And I just ate that about 20 mins ago. Spoon some salsa on top of the cheese once you've melted it.

Helloooooo high roller!

I could have a zillion dollars, and I’m still microwaving lime chips and shredded cheese. lol

Hint o lime ftw

Latter-Stage-2755@reddit

Absolutely

There’s never a bad time for chips n cheese

Ever melted a slice of American cheese on a rice cake? Game changer

[-]

Aggravating-One2200@reddit

No, but I’m gonna.

For me it was a jar of Cheez Wiz microwaved and poured over unflavored Doritos.

Hell yeah. Tasty town.

My ex used to love dipping fried shrimp into chocolate pudding. Mind you, he was high all the time. So maybe his tastebuds were in overdrive. Lol

Yeah, my pothead brother used to boil water, drop his Ramen block into a bowl n then pour the water over it. Then he'd ignorantly crunch away his din din.

Apple Jacks and soft serve vanilla ice cream.

[-]

dvl36s@reddit (OP)

Ok, now that one sounds really good!

Cheap frozen pizza (cooked of course) with hot dogs cut up on it like pepperoni.

Peanutbutter, bacon, and lettuce on toast

[-]

SarahJaneB17@reddit

This is mine too. No lettuce though, and the peanut butter needs to get melty.

I used to add cottage cheese to my spaghetti (still do sometimes). My kids picked up that habit. Used to send my ex-husband over the edge. 🤣

To really freak people out, one of my Mom’s “depression foods” was spaghetti with cottage cheese and…apple sauce, all mixed up. With a side of ice cold Diet Pepsi. 🤢

My mom always used cottage cheese in lasagna instead of ricotta, because it was cheaper.

[-]

dvl36s@reddit (OP)

Cottage cheese is pretty gross but truly delicious when mixed with pineapple bits.

My dad used to do saltines and ice cream. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory!

Pretzels and ice cream was my thing when I was a kid.

I didn’t come up with it but saw it or tried it: salting watermelon and putting cheddar cheese on apple pie.

[-]

phillymjs@reddit

Salting melon does amp up the flavor. I never even heard of putting cheddar cheese on apple pie until one episode of Mad Men.

I used to put dill pickles and yellow mustard on an American cheese slice and fold it over like a sandwich. I just did it again last week with bourbon habanero pickles, Cuban mustard and extra sharp cheese slices. Still a good snack, my husband thought it was disgusting.

[-]

dvl36s@reddit (OP)

Just remembered pickles in kool aid was one my sister introduced me to n it was really good. Had to be a red kool aid.

[-]

phillymjs@reddit

I never heard of those before an episode of Good Eats on pickles. Never made them, but the idea is intriguing.

When I was a kid, my dad had to make dinner when my mom was gone. This happened maybe three times a year. I loved what he made… Campbell’s Cheese soup poured over a bowl of saltine crackers. He call it Welsh Rabbit, yes, rabbit. His other dinner was spreading cream cheese on white bread and covering it with chopped up green olives.

[-]

Latter-Stage-2755@reddit

Welsh Rarebit, aka Welsh Rabbit is melted cheese over bread. So, while it wasn’t the perfect rendition… he wasn’t wrong

My stepdad used to throw balls of hamburger into a pan and boil them with Worcestershire sauce. All the grey liquid would ooze out of the top as they cooked.

Weird thing was, they actually tasted pretty good.

My father wasn't much of a cook. He knew how to make toast and to boil water to make his instant coffee. But, once the grill was involved, he was the only one allowed anywhere near it. He did a decent job grilling, but was completely inept in the kitchen. Odd that I ended up being the child who learned how to cook and bake, while my sister learned how to maintain a car.
