When you've been terribly poor, you get creative.
I once got tired of packet ramen and put some free milk I pilfered from a hotel into the broth to make it more like a creamy sauce. Black pepper and peanut butter can also do wonders. It's not 5 star dining, but it was better than you'd think. Especially after the 8th day in a row eating Raman and stolen fruit.
Ive done it again on the rare occasion, even now that I don't have to. My partner goes green when she sees it.
If I find a good bell pepper, I will eat it whole like an apple.
When I get a beverage/food garnished with an herb like a sprig of mint or rosemary, I like to nibble on them. My friends and girlfriend sort of lost their minds when I took a bit out of a cinnamon stick from a cocktail.
I basically eat all sandwiches on cinnamon raisin bagels if I can. Eggs, bacon/sausage, and cheese for breakfast? Yes. Pastrami and Swiss with mustard and sprouts? Yes. Tuna salad with Swiss? Yes. I get so many weird looks. But whatever. I like it. :)
Boiling up pasta water, throwing in the pasta and pre-cooked meatballs, then letting it cook until the pasta is done.
One of my regular breakfast rotations is toast with creamcheese topped with either canned sardines or canned smoked oysters. Quick and tasty, but admittedly kinda weird.
My wife would say: Kipper Snacks
Stinky fish is delicious.
fish heads... they're just so much cheaper than the rest of the fish and delicious in the air fryer. also i'll eat the tails on shrimp.
Bombay Bad Boy Pot Noodle for breakfast when staying in a hotel.
Also being English and not liking English breakfasts.
Eating a lot of foods with Carolina Reaper or Ghost Pepper. I have carolina reaper infused sauce, salt shaker, chunky shaker, and whole pods and I would mix them with steak, pork chop, ramen, and so forth. I just like how it enhance the taste in different ways, not for everyone though.
I love a balogna sandwich.
Greek yogurt and natural peanut for breakfast. Not really that odd in my opinion but the face of the people I tell that too say otherwise.
My girlfriend and her entire family think I'm an alien for drinking milk whenever I have popcorn. It doesn't even register as a strange combination to me. I think they're very complementary flavors.

Peanut butter and jelly (aka jam) with white sandwich bread with a generous amount of Doritos or cheez-its in it. One of my favorite meals!
Toasted sandwich bread with tomato slices, salt, and mayo. I could die just thinking about them. Add corn on the cob as a side.
A slice of sandwich bread with mustard, American cheese, and onion. Stick in the broiler to melt thecl cheese and brown the bread, and serve. RIP grandma.
