What are your weird food rules? (self.asklemmy)

For example:

When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?
Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

When it comes to things like chocolate bars, cookies, brownies, pop-tarts, ect., I almost always pop them in the freezer for a bit because it changes the texture.

Cookies/brownies with chocolate chips/m&ms are the best for this, because the chips get crunchy, while the cookie part is chewier.

Do you pop the pop-tarts into the toaster afterwards? They’re much better toasted imo

[–] lady_maria 1 points 8 months ago

Nah, but just because it'd also reverse the effects of freezing them. but next time I get them, I'll try toasting them first!

That's one of my favorite things. I started doing that one hot summer and now I do all year round. Cold chocolate is the best chocolate.
