I don’t think I’ve made a post on here about food, so here goes! 😃

I’ll go first…I just love eating uncooked pasta. It has such a satisfying crunch and the tomato pasta and wholewheat pasta are my faves! This has been a habit that I’ve had ever since I’ve had teeth and people are always surprised that I haven’t damaged my teeth doing this. I enjoy pasta cooked too!

    uncooked pasta, uncooked noodles, flour, sugar, whole apple (with seeds and that wood thingy on apple), nails (not eat but chew and spit out), coffee beans. There might be more but can’t think of right now.

      Raw flour is not recommended for direct consumption because it can actually carry foodborne illnesses. I suppose you could “cook” it in the oven with no other ingredients to have a similar experience but killing any potential pathogens.

            It really does. I’m one of those who like cookie dough more than actual cookies, especially when it comes to chocolate chip. Leave out eggs, add like a tablespoon more butter, and toast the flour beforehand, and you wind up with a truly excellent edible cookie dough. In my book, the nuttiness of the flour is makes it even better than regular dough.

              I think it’s possible to pasteurize eggs to make them safe to eat like they do with eggnog. Don’t quote me on that, though.

              Also make sure to brown the butter if you want an even richer, nuttier flavor.

        If they meant nails like fingernails I’m completely lost. But I used to with regular nails for the metal taste. I almost died as a kid because I used to suck on small nails and screws. Surprisingly that’s not what stopped me from sucking on them. It was because i unconsciously bit down one once and that shit hurt. Used to do coins too but when I found out what germs were and how many germs are on money I stopped immediately.

        please elaborate

        This is uncalled for, to say the least. The very idea of someone chewing on (clipped) nails was problematic enough
