Weird food combinations you eat
Italian bread, ripped up into bite-size pieces, drenched in yogurt, with sugar sprinkled on top, delicious.
potato chips and cottage cheese
My parents put ketchup on ham...I personally think it's disgusting.
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
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:
Celery and Peanut Butter (super crunchy)
Peanut Butter and Lettuce Sangas
Bolognese Pizza with Salami n Garlic
Brussel Sprouts with Sultanas n pine nuts
a bagel with cream cheese & jelly
Beef jerkey dipped in sweet baby ray's bbq sauce
Whole chunks of garlic cloves on my hamburgers
strawberries dipped in sour cream, then brown sugar
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.
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.
Thats a basic hot dog over here Cloud....you'd fit right in :D
Buttered popcorn and chocolate milk.
Ketchup on hotdogs is yummy.
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.
Fish fingers with wasabi.
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.
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.
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.
milktoast.
A favorite breakfast of childhood (but one I don't eat now)--hot buttered toast smothered in scalded milk.
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
Poor man's cereal: leftover rice in a bowl with milk and sugar.
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
Poor man's cereal: leftover rice in a bowl with milk and sugar.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scrapple is not technically a combination, but it is weird, and I do love it.
With ketchup.

yay, poutain I think it is
With ketchup.
Well, that does make it a weird combination. A little salt, maybe, but that's all it needs.

Poontang?
you think peanut butter on toast and bagels is weird, wolf?
I think you need to get out more.
;)
My wife makes a Sheppard's Pie with vegetarian Haggis in place of the meat. The gravy is spiked with steak sauce!
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.
poontang is a totally different dish!
vegetarian Haggis
How is that possible?! It's like a...virgin Martini.
Well, that does make it a weird combination. A little salt, maybe, but that's all it needs.
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.

holy edit button, batman, a quadruple post. are you vying for the next crazy chick designation? ;)
jinx does the peanut butter and pickles thing...but with dills and no bread.
try this next xmas: take two recently cooled, but stil gooey toll house cookies and make a cream cheese sandwich with them. OMFG
and of course.....
bitchin' veggie bagelsare you vying for the next crazy chick designation?
Yeah, apparently designation:Asshole has already been taken.
Yeah, apparently designation:Asshole has already been taken.
whoah! easy there.
didn't seee the winkie?
it's a running joke that double posts on a regular basis mean that you're crazy. a quad post seemed to need recognition. no need to call me an asshole. golly.
Since when is peanut butter on celery weird
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.
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.
if you put raisins on the pbutter/celery, it's "ants on a log"
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.
if you put raisins on the pbutter/celery, it's "ants on a log"
EXACTLY!
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.
I grew up, for some time, very poor. Not "American" poor, real poor. I don't usually talk about it.
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 love it when people say "I won't" eat something... yeah... you will, actually.
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.
Hmm... her no likeum peanut butter?
You tease - we had this out when someone suggested peanut butter on brioche as I remember...
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!
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?
I don't recall at all. (sigh) Was it fun?
Something not strange nohow: almond butter on toast with black cherry preserves.
OK, I got one...Mary likes to eat Jif peanut butter, sugar-free strawberry preserves and Bar S turkey slices.
Together!
EW!
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.
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.
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.
Those guinea pigs looked good!
And IHOP's Colorado omelette -- thick and high with shredded beef and much of the rest of the kitchen -- now there's a meat-lover's dream. But it's less strange than it is a bit extreme. Better stop talking about it now; I'm supposed to get to bed.
Thinly sliced sharp, cheddar cheese on pringles potato chips. Must have jalapeno's, pickles, stuffed green olives or other spicy/salty food to top it with.
French fries dipped in mayo.
Scrambled eggs with grated cheddar and tabasco sauce on 'em.
Vienna sausages dipped in hot sauce, with a chunk of cheese and kimchee on the side.
Yeah, i like hot, spicy foods and most of my snacks involve cheese...lol.
Spagetti & Sugar
I think we've literally got enough new stuff here to open a restaurant, who's down?
(Sunday) Nice little snack of canned smoked oysters and jalapeno and garlic-stuffed olives. I am out of kimchee.
Pizza crusts dunked in black coffee. With a side of jumbo red raisins.
Hey, I'm out of doughnuts.
My recipes are usually quite odd, though mostly healthy and cheap. A staple of mine is curry sauce loaded with cut leaks, chives, onions, and plenty of garlic.
Squid, there's a Society for Creative Anachronist song needling some rather well-known Kingdom of Atlantia feast-o-crat's penchant for onions and garlic in every single dish in every single remove. It had a line that ran: "...The meal is not complete without the genus Allium!"
Many Creative Anachronist songs are guaranteed to induce hilarity in some and intense embarrassment in others. A particularly famous one led to a literally royal practical joke played upon a very well known SCA herald: I don't know if the 'Net knows "The Herald's Lament," but the Creative Anachronists do...
A toasted tuna sandwich with plain lays potato chips.
And watermellon with salt...but I'm not sure how weird that is.
Not terribly... salt plus hot red chile pepper, powdered fine, is a standard watermelon condiment in Mexico and southern California. I like watermelon with a generous squirt of lemon, Russian style; it greatly improves that too-watery taste.
I glutted myself on watermelon as a kid once and it put me off it for years and years.
Make that "The Herald's
Complaint."
