What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?

I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

My invented dish I call "Scrumpy". You take fries or fried potatoes, equal amount lettuce broken up like for a salad, chicken, then top it with chicken or beef gravy and chopped green onions. To really take up the indulgence level you can add southern hot sauce like Frank's, and some Cajun seasoning.

It started because of my great love of poutine, and wondering how I could make it into a healthier full meal. I've done a million variations on it, too. Stir fried cabbage and onion instead of lettuce. Corned beef instead of chicken. Adding a fried egg on top... Very flexible weeknight meal.

I would absolutely serve this to someone if it ever came up, but it never has.

Ok this I sort of understand because I used to make Nacho Potatoes. Nacho Potatoes are baked potatoes but with the toppings of nachos. Lettuce is essential because it gives a crunch that enhances the texture of the dish.

Nacho up your fries, include full trimmings.

I’ve had this at pubs (in the US). It was called “Irish Nachos.” They were pretty tasty.

Frank's is not a southern hot sauce.

You're saying it's from New York City?

NEW YORK CITY?!?!

Noted, thanks! What do I call that style then? I thought it was southern style.

You might call it "Buffalo style" since it's commonly the primary component of Buffalo sauce.

Tabasco and Crystal are classic southern hot sauces.

I'll show my ignorance here, too, because I thought crystal was a similar flavor. That's actually why I said southern style.

Crystal has a less harsh flavor than Tabasco and Frank's. They're all similar, of course, but there are subtle variations; thus, in my opinion, they each have different applications.
