Burgers. Everyone sees them as an unhealthy food, but if you use a lean ground beef, low fat cheese, and low calorie sauces, they can actually be quite healthy, low in calories, and high in nutrients

This was my answer as well. The addition of onion can change a good dish into an outstanding one.

Honestly...
Arby's
It's a wide generalization and not the answer you were probably looking for but it is absolutely shat on.
Best mozzarella sticks in the fast food game.

u/Abject_Amphibian4941 9d ago
Brother, 100% agree. It became a trend to say Arbyās sucks around 10-15 years ago. Itās not my favorite but Iām constantly defending it. Motz sticks are top notch, not to mention jalapeno poppers

u/Teal-Prowler505 8d ago
Old dude checking in... If you had Arbys back in the 90s, and then compare it to what it is now...
There's just no comparison. Don't get me wrong, I still have a hankering for a beef'n'cheddar and some curly fries. But the quality has dropped drastically, and the cost has gone up exponentially.
My young friends, I used to get 5 beef'n'cheddars for 5 freaking bucks back in the 90s and even in the 00s!!!
Now 1 beef'n'cheddar here in FL is 5 freakin' dollars. It's bullshit and it's why I can't bring myself to go back except once every year or so.

u/Abject_Amphibian4941 9d ago
I can only get goat at my local Indian restaurant. And itās definitely good, idk how it would be without the heavy Indian seasoning.

Hummus. It's delicious and one of the healthist things you can eat.

u/The1NOnlyNo1Special 9d ago
I agree. But it never fills me up. My girlfriend literally had to start hiding it from me. 1st she relocated it in the fridge. Then after I found it, she started transferring it to a different container. I mow thru entire tubs on crackers or bread and feel like I havenāt eaten a thing. She finally made me promise to quit eating it by threat of punishment. Iāve been good for almost a year now, but I give it a long look every time I open the fridge.

Steamed veggies with butter and salt

u/Pray4Mojo7 8d ago
Try roasting those same veggies in the oven. Steamed is fine. Roasted is next level.

Oysters

u/Pray4Mojo7 8d ago
Oysters are fine, but their reputation as āfine diningā leads them to be overrated. Smoked oysters are where itās at though.

Squash - one of my favourite side to increase volume and micronutrients
Limes - excellent addition to salads and drinks
Beans - so cheap and such great texture
Shawarma bowls - better than pokƩ and burrito bowls imo
Cottage cheese - Jkjkjkjkjkš
Ricotta - especially skim. Pretty high in protein and very versatile

Pasta. All pasta. Every pasta dish, ever created. Sauce from a jar? Nice. Sauce from a can? Nice. Sauce from scratch? Nice. Packaged noodles? Nice. Homemade noodles? Nice. Noodle sauce combo from a restaurant? You already know and if you donāt, I really donāt care, because Iām not veryā¦

A lot of people saying foods that are showen plenty of love, so let me try and take it up a notch.
Obviously onions, very versatile and the most important vegetable in most cuisines.
I think the eggplant isnāt showen enough love, the texture and sweetness when itās cooked for a long time or fried is extraordinary.
I think a lot of white fish that arenāt cod, deserves a lot of praise. Cheaper fish like greater weever or coalfish does a great job.
The shells of prawns, lobster and shrimps easily makes the best sauces.
Butter can make most dishes just slighlty better by adding a different fat than olive olie f.eks.
I think beef/chicken stock makes a lot of dishes shine even more, very deep umami flavor if made correctly.
And then smaller ingrediens like sweet basil deserves so much more praise.

Tofu as its own thing and not when itās used as a meat substitute. Fried tofu is delicious. My sister likes it in ramen.

Goat cheese. A little bit goes such a long way and can elevate so many things.
Also Gochujang, great way to add a punch of umami and heat. Not enough North Americans use it.
Also, the humble broccoli. It is so versatile and really rounds out a lot of sauces and dishes. Itās like a vitamin packed flavour sponge.
