What ingredients do you eat straight from the package/can?

Olives. I like the pitted California Jumbos. Don't eat them too much since they have a lot of oil and fat in them.

That's about all I can think of.

I had a friend that would eat cold okra from a can. I can eat okra in gumbo, but it's a little slimey cold out of the can for me. It's a good high fiber food, so if you can do it, it's good for you.

I can't think of a thing that I eat straight out of a can. I eat pickles and pickled beets that way, but that's the expected way to eat them.

Smoked Herring. I used to buy King Oscars brand, but Trader Joes has a better brand that tastes better and has less oil. One can is more then enough for two people, so I split the tin with my husband. I've only had the plain smoked herring in a tin, but I've seen it canned with mustard too.

This is a good canned food to take on a hike, or camping. I eat them as a snack too.

Yesterday I ate come cookie dough out of the package (bought because it was 1C with the coupon we had) but it didn't taste very cook uncooked.

Cereals, sardines, tuna, and of course straight from the package dried mango! hehe

Cheese! I'm so bad about snacking on the shredded cheese while I cook with it.

Mtmomj -- hey -- buy you some pixie sticks. LOL Same thing as kool-aid but with sugar. Then you don't have to feel guilty.

I usually eat shredded cheese straight out of the bag... I don't even have to be using it for dinner or something. I've been known to open the fridge just to grab a pinch of it. I also do the cookie dough and cereal things. When I get a craving for pickles, I'll eat those standing in front of the open fridge. I eat cold hotdogs, fresh from the package (it grosses my friend out so I don't do it around her much) & I'll do that with lunchmeat. I'm real bad about making hubby's lunch in the morning & stealing a piece or two of his lunchmeat while putting the sandwiches together. LOL.

I used to eat the Nesquik powder too. I've never tried dry cake mix, I prefer to get it all mixed up, then sit down with a spoon and eat it from the bowl instead of baking the cake like hubby wants.

Oh my gosh! I'm so guilty of eating the shredded cheese before I can even get it into what I'm cooking.

One of my other snack items is semi-sweet chocolate. I always eat those by the handful.

And the other biggie, is nuts. I love nuts--raw or toasted. Doesn't matter. The fresher, the better.

I have been known to eat canned mushrooms straight out of the can when I am cooking with them. I am also guilty of eating some of the chocolate chips when I make cookies.
