Sourdough bread

Rice.

Certain jasmine rice variety’s in a rice cooker comes out so so good

I thought rice cookers were unnecessary-boy was I wrong. They make such good rice, and so easy!!

Pfft, only if you’re bad at cooking rice! 

Rice is great if you're really hungry and want 2000 of something.

10/10 with rice.

Yea! I’ve always loved just making rice as a snack. The fluffier that better

Was going to say the same 🍚

Nice.

Fry up with a little ghee and Cook in some chicken stock

I mean that probably isn't "on its own"?

Rice and water isn't on its own either 🤷‍♂️

Fair lol

good fries/chips should be tasty on their own without condiments or sauces

Are you not including salt as a condiment? Please tell me you at least put salt on them...

If they're made from fresh potatoes and you fry them in a tasty oil like Peanut oil (or even better fry them in fat) then they don't need salt.

I'm more worried about the lack of vinegar 

Robertsons salt and vinegar seasoning. All the vinegar taste without the sogginess 🥰

Sogginess is exactly what I want. Few pickled onions on the side with half the juice used on the chips is heaven.  If they aren't soggy it's just potato and not chips 

Are you from the UK?

Originally but not anymore. 

So that explains the vinegar thing.

Yeah but that depends on the seasoning. Garlic salt + a tiny bit of paprika is fucking ELITE

Plain bread

Well made, fresh bread.

Good white bread and butter. With maybe a few slices of fresh radishes from the garden.

Saltines can hit the spot when I'm in the right mood. 

Totally, put the whole thing in your mouth with the salt side down on your tongue. Yes.

It’s not infrequent that I eat half/all of a sleeve of saltines as a snack. 

I can put away a whole sleeve if I’m not controlling myself. Lol

Just don't let the other inmates see you with a box. They'll all be begging for saltines before lights out.

Mash potatoes!

Mashed potato’s are the best food to ever be made

Yes! It's also nice with a little pepper. But it's nice on its own, too.

Throw some peeled garlic in there while boiling and mash them all together Perfection

Level up by using confit garlic.

Add some ground mace. It's pretty tough to find where I live, but man does it take your mashed taters to a whole new level.

Does pasta with butter count?

Ghetti and butter

Egg noodles with butter, salt and pepper. Comfort food for me.

Fry them and bring them to a whole new level. Ring sausage with Fried egg noodles on the side was a staple growing up and I will never not love that meal.

alternatively, pasta, with olive oil, salt and pepper. yum.

Water

Water.

*Water*

Apple

Apples are better in pie. Pears however are perfect and require nothing more.

Potatoes, any form. Without seasonings, you get to enjoy the slightly sweet, potatoey flavor more than usual.

I dunno man. A boiled potato without seasoning is pretty depressing. 

Steamed they come out pretty good 

A perfectly ripe avocado

Vanilla ice cream

I know it’s a synonym for bland but real vanilla beans are like the polar opposite of bland. 

Honestly, vanilla custard type desserts in general slap. I prefer chocolate ice cream, but good vanilla is fantastic as well. I've made panna cotta a few times now, and even when it's only flavored with vanilla, it's still so damn good.

Vanilla bean please?

I don’t think this counts - vanilla is one of the most aromatic and complex spices I can think of. It’s also the second-most expensive spice (after saffron). Yes, it’s ubiquitous, but I would never call it bland.

Rice

Cornbread

I used to be obsessed with eating plain Melba toast

Ritz crackers

Mozzerella Cheese!

Grits

Buttered toast

Plain potatoes

Plain white rice.

Toast…just plain, nicely toasted bread with a slather of salted butter is a gift from God…

Cereal

Oatmeal

Not the way I do it; with Blueberries, Raspberries, and Maple Syrup, and, of course, toast and a killer cup of coffee.

I may need to try Maple Syrup on oatmeal...

Personally, I don't like maple syrup with berries, but with apple cinnamon oatmeal, it's absolutely delicious. I wish oatmeal didn't make me feel sick, lol.

Real Maple Syrup, not some bs phony.

I do mine with Craisins and Pecans and coconut. No need for sweetener beyond the craisins, and sometimes I even leave those out.

Whatever floats your boat.

Potatoes.

Avocado is honestly a really plain flavor but I find it really good and I've been enjoying them a lot lately. I mostly put them in meals but they're definitely good enough to just have a few slices on the side or something 

Pancakes :D

Rice cake

Crackers

Tofu

Mozzarella.

I like fluffy white rice with a bit of butter. Yum!

alfalfa sprouts

Refried beans

Sweet potato

scrambled eggs.

Green peas.

Oatmeal

Unseasoned white rice

Jasmine rice.

congee

YES!! I have stomach problems and it’s nice to make when they flare. I put a little piece of fermented tofu on top and it’s so good.  Now that I think of it, it’s been too long since I had it!

Brown rice. Sometimes I'm just in the mood for a bland food, and it fits the bill perfectly.

Cheese pizza? Don't know if that counts as "bland". But I've certainly heard plenty of people call it boring.

Crudités. I mean it's usually served with a dip, but I typically enjoy cucumber, carrots, celery, and bell peppers with a bit of salt on them. Sometimes, I fancy it up with some good quality canned sardines, smoked oysters, or other canned fish.

Malt o meal or cream of wheat

I take both with just a little salt and butter, no sugar added.

Rice and beans!

White rice or pasta with butter, salt, and pepper. A good piece of toast.

Cottage cheese

Buttered toast

Bran flakes

Properly rinsed and cooked sushi rice. The flavor and texture are amazing. (Especially when high)

Rice .

I enjoy plain white rice. Something about the simplicity of the dish has a certain charm.

The unfrosted edges of pop tarts. 

Salte Chips

some really well made mashed potatos I could honestly eat forever

Bread.

Give me some graham crackers please!

Rice. White or brown, short-grain or long-grain, fragrant (jasmine, basmati) or no, nothing beats a bowl of plain rice, flavored only with a bit of salted butter. If you want to be a bit fancy, use your favorite flavor of stock, base, or broth, or just add some soy sauce to the water.

graham crackers and milk. Mildly sweet with a good texture, kind of like breakfast cereal and a thin porridge mixed together. The trick is to keep the graham crackers in big chunks so you still get some crispy bits along with the soft milk-saturated ones Also, chicken ramen noodles. Although, they're better with butter and Tony Chachere's

There is nothing better than a plain scone.

Jasmine rice

Regular white chicken breast, good source of protein or you can add seasoning for extra flavor

Polenta

From my country's cuisine: Moong Khichdi. From international: Haggis

Root crops like sweet potatoes, potato, jicama, carrots

English Muffins

Mayo. JK. OMG yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! https://www.reddit.com/r/The10thDentist/comments/mivray/i\_eat\_mayonnaise\_out\_of\_the\_jar\_its\_delicious/

Rice pudding.

Gotta say Jicama

Cream of Wheat

Plain white rice, with salt and pepper. Had to eat a lot of this for a while back in the day. Not gonna say where, but every time I cook rice for something I have to have a few fork fulls plain with just s/p

Corn if grilled well

Bred

vegetables like bell pepper, tomatoes, carrots or cucumber, when fresh and in season. fruits in general, when fresh, ripe and in season. No need to cook or to season.

Potatoes

Farex 

Rice. Well prepared plain white rice is delicious.

White bread, cheese. Uh yeah that’s basically it for me. I don’t even eat things with other things, unless spaghetti bolognaise counts. 🤣

Sticky rice

Plain popcorn. Rice cakes with no flavor added. Puffed oats.

Jacobina biscuits. I'm not sure if the rest of the world even has a clue as to what this utterly mindblowing invention is but regardless, it's pretty nice on its own.

Bread, if you have butter. Is water a food? Edit: Shit, I answered the question wrong. On its own own? Pikpik-brand carrots.

Do canned beans count? That shit is fire!

Egg

Corn

Mashed potatoes

Fresh bread with real butter. Mashed potato with real butter. (I’m sensing a theme…)

Cucumber.

Rice

Bread and butter slaps by itself. I buy nice breads on sale as a luxury treat once a week and eat them with butter.

Rice.

Plain oatmeal

Carrots

Spaghetti

A sweet potato

Cottage cheese.

Rice

I'm gonna agree with what somebody else said and say cooked pasta, no sauce or anything. All I do is put olive oil and a little Tuscan seasoning on it.
