    I'm a daywalker gourmand - my midnight gourmand energy goes to my breakfasts.
    However, rather than make it a pizza (which I may start doing now), I make it an omelette.
    instant noodles? Cook it up, cake it in egg, then fry that. Leftover stew? Egg it, omel it. Leftover rice tends to make the best omelette material. You can even salvage over-spiced food by making it into an omelette, since it softens the spice.

      Honestly my family regularly eats the depression-era recipe my grandmother used. They are simple, cheap, few ingredients that make a lot. A few pounds of ground meat, an onion, tomato sauce, and any salt and pepper you want will make a big pot of moist taco meat. Put in more tomato sauce and you've got a meat sauce for spaghetti. Stick it in a corn tortilla and pour red sauce over it plus some cheese, you've got an enchilada. Super versatile base recipe.

    My go-to midnight snack would be a "lazy pokè bowl". All you need is sushi/any sticky rice, smoked salmon (preferably the pack from Costco since it's cheaper, mayo, and siracha. You take 1 1/2 parts of mayo to 1 part of siracha to make the spicy mayo. All you do now is assemble it together. If you want to be a bit fancier then you can make it into onigiri and store it in the fridge for later. The best part about this is that you can put anything in it such as kimchi, canned tuna, egg, etc. Similar to bibimbap, any leftover side dishes; throw that shit in there! I hope this is enough to qualify me as a midnight gourmand!!!

    I have so many things to share because my household has accidentally made a culture out of Midnight Snacks. First off, any meal past midnight that has more than one course to it is what we call "The Dark Feast" in our household. We have a holiday in our house called "Gooben Knoct" or "Goblin Night". A holiday that falls on a different random night every year and you celebrate it by eating a feast of snacks you find in your fridge (like shredded cheese from the bag) and you eat them while sitting on your kitchen floor with your housemates. Channeling Goblin Energy!
    And Finally welcome to the "anything food either a soup or a salad" philosophy. A debate that goes beyond "is a taco a sandwich". A pizza is just a salad in an organized order. Happy Snacking!

      I would further posit that Brian's bold exploration in pizza-craft harkens to the beginnings of pizza, when in the Aeneid Virgil described possibly the first pizza - a flatbread with fruits piled on top:
      Aeneas, handsome Iulus, and the foremost leaders,
      settled their limbs under the branches of a tall tree,
      and spread a meal: they set wheat cakes for a base
      under the food (as Jupiter himself inspired them)
      and added wild fruits to these tables of Ceres.
      When the poor fare drove them to set their teeth
      into the thin discs, the rest being eaten, and to break
      the fateful circles of bread boldly with hands and jaws,
      not sparing the quartered cakes, Iulus, jokingly,
      said no more than: ‘Ha! Are we eating the tables too?’

    An English muffin, tteokbokki, and a slice of American cheese has to be the most deranged food combo I have heard of in my life. Literally the Frankenstein's Monster of food. You're a madman BDG, your wax wings have taken you too high. I would also like to try it.

      To be fair, american cheese slices have a way of showing up frequently in Korean instant noodles. So it is part of the customary diet.
