Weird food combinations you eat
 
Italian bread, ripped up into bite-size pieces, drenched in yogurt, with sugar sprinkled on top, delicious.

Cloud 06-13-2007 02:54 PM

potato chips and cottage cheese

elSicomoro 06-13-2007 02:59 PM

My parents put ketchup on ham...I personally think it's disgusting.

Sundae 06-13-2007 03:04 PM

Many British food combination would sound weird to you!
But I suppose my culturally non-specific one would be my favourite pizza toppings: pepperoni, anchovies, onions and pineapple

Cloud 06-13-2007 03:05 PM

I hope you carry tic tacs in your purse!

That's not that bad. I've delivered worse...like anchovies and broccoli. :greenface

I made a BBQ sauce out of strawberries and garlic last Sunday.:yum:

DucksNuts 06-13-2007 06:20 PM

Celery and Peanut Butter (super crunchy)

Peanut Butter and Lettuce Sangas

Bolognese Pizza with Salami n Garlic

Brussel Sprouts with Sultanas n pine nuts

Rexmons 06-13-2007 06:28 PM

a bagel with cream cheese & jelly

Bullitt 06-13-2007 07:38 PM

Beef jerkey dipped in sweet baby ray's bbq sauce
Whole chunks of garlic cloves on my hamburgers

Cloud 06-13-2007 07:47 PM

strawberries dipped in sour cream, then brown sugar

lizzymahoney 06-13-2007 11:10 PM

Fargon's strawberry garlic BBQ sauce sounds great.

Also Ducksnuts' brussel sprouts with pignoli and sultanas.

Eh, guess the only thing I wouldn't eat is ketchup on ham. Ham definitely calls for marmalade and mustard.

Cloud 06-13-2007 11:20 PM

I like ketchup and cheese on my hot dogs, does that count? Most people think I'm some kind of heretic for not putting mustard on 'em.

DucksNuts 06-13-2007 11:42 PM

Thats a basic hot dog over here Cloud....you'd fit right in :D

freshnesschronic 06-13-2007 11:43 PM

Buttered popcorn and chocolate milk.

bluecuracao 06-13-2007 11:52 PM

Ketchup on hotdogs is yummy.

Beestie 06-14-2007 12:16 AM

A banana and mayo sammich. My Mom made those for me when I was a l'il tyke and about once a year I get a craving for them.

Hagar 06-14-2007 12:43 AM

Fish fingers with wasabi.

Nightsong 06-14-2007 02:09 AM

Okay, I am not really fond of Subway subs. How ever when I have to go there I get a tuna sandwich with marinara sauce, spicy mustard, and onions. With cheese ofcourse.

bbro 06-14-2007 07:59 AM

I dip my fries in my Frosty when I order from Wendy's. Sometimes, I dip my burger (with everything except pickles and tomatoes) in, too

Most people can handle the fries, but think the burger is disgusting.

Clodfobble 06-14-2007 08:40 AM

I knew a girl who did the fries/Frosty thing. She also was the first person I met who put lemons in her Dr. Peppers.

Cloud 06-14-2007 08:43 AM

milktoast.

A favorite breakfast of childhood (but one I don't eat now)--hot buttered toast smothered in scalded milk.

smurfalicious 06-14-2007 09:10 AM

my dinner last night consisted of a can of pear halves, 2 slices of that processed plastic-wrapped 'cheese', and dill pickles. The SO immediately asked if I was preggers.

also:
peanut butter, mayo, banana sammich
slices of cheddar cheese dipped in a tart yogurt
french fries dipped in a Wendy's frosty
applesauce on ham (which I thought was totally normal, but the SO disagrees)
BBQ sauce on eggs
BBQ sauce on mac-n-cheese
BBQ sauce on, well, anything

Kitsune 06-14-2007 11:17 AM

Poor man's cereal: leftover rice in a bowl with milk and sugar.

MurMetz 06-14-2007 11:33 AM

best sandwich in the world: peanut butter & pickles (bread & butter or sweet) - it's a requirement that the sandwich is made as follows:

bread
peanut butter
pickles
peanut butter
bread

I think that's more like lazy man's rice pudding ...

My "weird" combos are probably not that weird.

I also am of the ketchup on a hotdog crowd. I do not like mustard at all. I eat soft pretzels dry. Yes, in Philadelphia that is considered sacrilege. Deal with it.

I was quite amused by that scene in Sudden Impact, where the coroner is checking out the body on the beach, the one where the guy was shot in the balls? Anyway, he's eating while he's examining the body. I don't have the exact quote, but it goes pretty much like this ...

Dirty Harry: How can you do that?

Coroner: What, eat while I'm working? Harry, I do this all the time.

Dirty Harry: Nobody, but nobody puts ketchup on a hotdog.


The National Vegetable also goes well with ham and/or eggs.

I won't put it on fried or scrambleds, but any omelet involving cheese and meat looks like an accident victim laying on my plate.

I do some odd things with peanut butter, or so people tell me. I put it on toast and bagels, and it goes great with bacon. I think it started with those bacon-flavored crackers, and I moved up to the real thing.

Cream cheese and jelly is a flavor combo granted to us by the Gods.

Hawaiian Pizza has become a more accepted option, but it still grosses out a couple of my coworkers.

Urbane Guerrilla 06-15-2007 02:38 AM

Since when is peanut butter on celery weird? That's a basic picnic finger food where I come from. Add a single line of raisins down the peanut butter and you have Ants on a Log.

And since when is ham-and-pineapple Hawaiian pizza news to anyone? Some of wolf's coworkers sound very behind the times.

Some people love this, others blanch. I've mentioned it before: grilled cheese sandwich with peanut butter, plus any sweet green relish. Dill pickle relish for those who prefer it tart.

It ain't no stranger'n Mango Salsa... which might go well in the above augmented cheese sandwich, in place of the green relish.

Hardly strange at all is eggs fried together with a little shredded-up pastrami.

C'mon, Urbane. Take a look at her dateline and then yours. That's the difference. I've always lived East Coast. Hawaiian pizza is not on every pizza menu. The only time I tried it was in London. I prefer my double anchovy, extra garlic, pass me the olive oil New York style.

lizzymahoney 06-15-2007 07:48 AM

The name escapes me, but that essential Canuck dish with the fries, curd and brown gravy is actually pretty good. hmmm, poteen? While it may be French Canadien in origin, I've had it in the Western Provinces, too. Sounds gross to most of us south of that border, though.

lizzymahoney 06-15-2007 07:51 AM

This may be a south Jersey thing, but I love old fashioned tomato preserves or jelly or jam folded into an omelet.

I prefer another old fashioned condiment with my scrambled eggs: chile sauce. It has a different flavor than salsa, although I'd use either.

lizzymahoney 06-15-2007 07:53 AM

How about beer in your margarita? A craft list some years back had a thread on the best margarita recipes, and some chica recommended that. When I rarely make margaritas, I'm likely to put a lager in the pitcher.

wolf 06-15-2007 03:27 PM

Scrapple is not technically a combination, but it is weird, and I do love it.

With ketchup.

Flint 06-15-2007 03:55 PM

My wife makes a Sheppard's Pie with vegetarian Haggis in place of the meat. The gravy is spiked with steak sauce!

Happy Monkey 06-15-2007 04:27 PM

All sorts of peanut-butter-and-fruit along the lines of MurMetz's pickles.

grapes, banana slices, apple slices, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, raisins, etc. Anything that's not too juicy, like citrus or melon.

Cloud 06-15-2007 04:29 PM

poontang is a totally different dish!

Salty enough on it's own ... pepper's good for it, IMHO.

When I was in the Navy, our cooks would sometimes make peanut butter glazed ham...and as weird as it sounds, it's not terrible, just different.

I'm just not terribly adventurous about food, I guess.

I won't even, for example, consider trying a fluffernutter. Just sounds nasty.

We call them Lincoln Logs. Good to put the occasional/intermittent raisin on them.

Again, as my Pop (grandpa') used to say: "If you ain't related to it, and it ain't poison, it's food... and there's exceptions to both-a' those rules".
Farming in the depression, as he did, nothing went to waste.
I grew up, for some time, very poor. Not "American" poor, real poor. I don't usually talk about it.
I love it when people say "I won't" eat something... yeah... you will, actually.

Urbane Guerrilla 06-17-2007 03:09 AM

Lizzy, my first encounter with a ham-and-pineapple Hawaiian was in a Shakey's -- in the sixties -- in north central Colorado.

So to me, that's pretty old. And Shakey's pizza parlors have gone a long way downhill since. I wouldn't send an enemy to a Shakey's now. He'd take about three bites and then come after me with the mallets of forethought -- and I want those mallets to play croquet.

Hst! -- LJ, I think she was speaking of herself. She saw the winkie, I'm sure.

Cloud 06-17-2007 03:12 AM

if you put raisins on the pbutter/celery, it's "ants on a log"

rkzenrage 06-17-2007 03:14 AM

A lot of people think my Raman (sometimes rice noodle), egg (optional), mixed veggie (optional), sardine, octopus, wasabi, soy, sesame oil combo is odd. It is not for me.

EXACTLY!

Cloud 06-17-2007 03:25 AM

yum, ramen noodles with egg drops, sesame oil, and soy sauce. I haven't had that since . . . I started making decent money :)

soba noodles are better for you, though, and I've had those similarly. I love sesame oil!

My Grandparents were East End Londoners and their experiences in the war sent them in opposite directions. Even now Grandad (with the reduced appetite of a man in his mid eighties) will force himself to eat everything on his plate. Whereas Nan (now deceased) developed a horror of germs and food contamination. She would obsessively check expiry dates and felt uncomfortable keeping anything even a day before expiry. When we stayed with them in the summer holidays, Nan would only buy the Kelloggs Variety cereal (8 mini boxes) because the idea of an open box of Cornflakes would drive her crazy. Grandad would then make us eat the ones we didn't like (Smacks and All Bran) because he didn't want them wasted.

We were British 70s poor. Our standards weren't all that low for the time, but by today's standards we were well below the poverty line. I wish I had the motivation to eat that diet today - it was so healthy.

I learned as a teen not to say, "I'd never eat that" and that was only skipping-two-meals hungry. I'm aware that skipping-two-days-of-meals hungry might even make me consider eating ants on a log. Although I'd be more likely to try the real thing first.

Like I said, sometimes I make it with rice noodles (clear and soba are not unusual, what ever is on sale, in bulk, at the Asian market).
Still, like Raman, what is to bad about them?

Urbane Guerrilla 06-25-2007 03:52 AM

I don't recall at all. (sigh) Was it fun?

Something not strange nohow: almond butter on toast with black cherry preserves.

BrianR 06-25-2007 09:51 AM

OK, I got one...Mary likes to eat Jif peanut butter, sugar-free strawberry preserves and Bar S turkey slices.

Together!

EW!

Cloud 06-25-2007 10:19 AM

ramen noodles are fried, which is why they're not good for you.

Did you see there's a new tv show? Bizzare Foods on the Travel Channel.

bluecuracao 06-25-2007 07:21 PM

Yesterday I set out to make breakfast pigs in a blanket--sausages wrapped in pancakes, with a little drizzle of maple syrup--but ran out of sausages. So I pan-fried some hotdogs and tried using those instead, with some Cheddar shavings (and the maple syrup, too)...

Hotdogs and pancakes are so gooooood.

elSicomoro 06-25-2007 08:27 PM

April and I watch that show on occasion, Cloud...the last one we saw was one where the people ate guinea pigs in a South American country (don't remember which one). Blecch!

We went to IHOP for dinner tonight. I ordered the Big Bacon Omelette, which is 3 eggs, bacon, tomato, parmesan and swiss cheeses and sour cream. Normally, I would find such a combination gross, but on occasion, it's mighty tasty.
