Strange combinations - Page 4

You might like this then Clodfobble. During the years I was working for Bank of America (Satan), I was working in their credit card processing building in Pasadena. It was a 6 story building without any windows. It was like a giant cement block. I'm convinced that they were scared of snipers due to their own poor customer service. I actually heard collections people call someone's neighbors asking them to tell someone to pay their bill. I heard them telling people to go collect aluminum cans. I had a "customer service" person look at me with a straight face and say, "They (the customers) need us, we don't need them. They need to borrow money to buy cars, houses, etc." I had to remind them that there is more than one bank in America...

Anyway...back to food.

Since I was in I.T. and not part of either customer service, or collections, I was deemed impartial and I got to be a judge in the annual chili and salsa contests.

The very best of all the Salsa's was a bowl of fantastic salsa with a nice kick and it had cream cheese in the center. This is a wonderful combination.

Was that a long enough story to tell you about this combo? LOL! Sorry, sometimes I get carried away.

My evil ex used to have cheese on sweet popcorn. He'd wait til the popcorn was shovelled in, then say with a cheeky smile, "could I have some cheese on that?" The servers were so weirded out that he was never charged extra - whereas if I wanted extra cheese on my jalapenos I certainly was!

One Valentine's day I sent him an arrow, which you could unscrew for a personalised message. He didn't know who it was from (which tells me a lot!) so thought it best not to mention it to me (which tells me more). It was only a couple of days later, stuck on a call at work, that he realised it screwed open. The message read, "We're not a perfect match..." on one side and, "... like sweet popcorn and cheese" on the other,

I agree. Cream cheese on Oreos is delicious.

Spread cream cheese on Lebanon Bologna, and roll up a sweet gerkin pickle in it. Yum.

I used to eat peanut butter and bologna sandwhiches. Now? No way.

What do Americans mean by bologna?

Spexxvet · 09-29-2009, 03:13 PM

Baloney?

It's like Spam for the Uppercrust.

Not really. It's "meat" and meat by-products. Think hot dogs all flattened out.

Bologna sausage (pronounced /boˈloʊni/) is an American sausage somewhat similar to the Italian mortadella (a finely hashed/ground pork sausage containing cubes of lard that originated in the Italian city of Bologna). It is commonly called bologna and often pronounced and/or spelled baloney. US

Bologna sausage is generally made from low-value scraps (trimmings from steaks, roasts or other meat cuts) eww

the origin of the slang word baloney, meaning "nonsense"

lol @ nonsense

I like to eat my oatmeal with cottage cheese and blueberries....and with some slivered almonds thrown in for crunch.

That's not weird, that's dressed up. You could probably find sixteen variations on that idea at Mister Breakfast's site. He tries to be comprehensive, and you'd probably like half a dozen of them.

I sometimes butter my oatmeal -- cold-day kind of stuff. Works with brown sugar. I've never gone as far as to start the day on buttered brose: oatmeal, an ounce of whisky stirred in, and buttered. With or without brown sugar, which in the auld lang syne would have been a luxury good the eaters of brose might have hesitated to buy.
