Oatmeal.
Do you know the difference between the 3 main types of oatmeal?
*Steel cut is the least processed and takes longest to cook. It never really gets soft, so it stays chewy. I haven't tried it actually cooked - I like to mix mine with water and leave in the fridge overnight, then mix in Greek yogurt and protein powder the next morning and it's tasty!
*Old fashioned are smoother and creamy and only take as long as water takes to boil.
*Quick oats are just rolled thinner than old fashioned so they cook quicker.
I like to eat mine cold. I'll make it the night before - I'll mix some GNC protein powder and some plain Greek yogurt with my oatmeal, mix water in it til it's soupy, then cover & pop in the fridge. Once I get to work in the morning, it's thickened up nicely & ready to eat! Sometimes I mixed PB2 (powdered peanut butter) in, sometimes frozen but thawed fruit. The flavor options are unlimited! And because of the protein powder & yogurt, it keeps me going until lunch.

Random weird food that fits the letter of the day....
Opo Squash
The sign at the store said it has a zucchini/cucumber taste, a source of manganese and delicious when steamed.
And we can't forget.....The Oatmeal. I give that site a PG13 rating - it's hysterical but not really appropriate for little ones or the easily offended.
