Do you have any favorite foods to eat when your consciousness is altered? (Interpret as you will.) Are there flavors or texture you gravitate to?
Some fun recent food/drink experiences:
Pickled spicy okra (the seed texture is wild)
White chocolate
Thin cantina-style tortilla chips with salsa
Spicy virgin bloody Mary
Lemon tonic water (holy crap, this was intense!)
Chocolate rugelach (so shatteringly crisp)
Claussen pickle juice
I personally crave really spicy, vinegary, and salty foods.
In college at Ohio State - Cincinnati Chili at a Skyline Chili Parlor or refried bean tostados at a Mexican place within staggering distance of our apartment. Fried clams in the summer when we moved to Cape Cod.
Those days are in the rear view mirror. If I drink too much now, I can barely eat anything. Alcohol is not my friend. I wish we had never met. We have an on-again, off-again relationship…
Shoarma!
But obviously I’m not going to make it myself in that state.
Anything savoury will do. Peanuts, paprika chips, nachos, but also a good curry, meatballs, left over pizza
