FAVORITE WEIRD FOOD


O.K.!  Here's one that should produce some interesting posts.  What's your favorite strange food or food combination?  For the moms out there, pregnancy cravings count.


I'll start it rolling.  My whole family loves sushi as well as peanut butter/bacon sandwiches.


Next?

When I was in high school the food was so horrible you had to drench it in ketchup or ranch to hide the taste. One day I decided to mix the two together and have been eating ranchup ever since. Try it!


Also I like potato chips and cottage cheese.

Sparky, ranchup?  Yuck!


Now I have to agree with WFTR, I love peanut butter and bacon sandwiches!


I've had many people say I'm weird because I put salt instead of sugar on my grapefruit.  I learned it from my mom.  We both also like to eat lemons straight with a little salt too.  My grandma grew up in Louisiana, so she also passed grits on to me and my mom.  Give me grits with a little salt and butter, or with sugar and milk, yum!

Spaky, I have heard of people having cheese fries and then putting ketchup on them , but never ranch and ketchup.


Perhaps a strange combination may be pickles and potato chips.

This tells you how bad school food was to have to invent your own sauce! I still say go home and try it and report back to me what you thought.


I've done pickles and chips too...it goes great with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Speaking of pickles.  Has anyone had fried pickles?  They're great with ranch dressing.

Ahh!  But would they taste good with ranchup?  I think we all need to do some kitchen experimentation this weekend.


Try these as well, apples in your chicken soup and dry mai tai mix on popcorn.  My father used to eat apple pie with a slice of american cheese, but I don't endorse that one.

I put ketchup on lunchmeat and cheese sandwiches, which people seem to think is strange.

That reminded me! chili with an orange wedge and cinamon roll on the side is an excellent combonation.

Sparky-


Sounds like it might be best to stand up-wind after that combo!

Sparky, you are quickly pulling way out in front on this thread.  Time to change your moniker to "Ol' Steel Stomache".


Chili, oranges, and cinammon rolls?  Boggles the mind.

It's Ok...I have stock in Pepto Bismol!


I think the cinamon roll and orange wedge are for the aroma part!

I like tuna salad sandwiches on white bread with Lays original potato chips on top of the tuna in the sandwich.  It adds a little crunch.  I love it.  I also like eating my fries with mayo like the Germans do.  When I was in high school, we boycotted the cafeteria because the food was so awful and they wouldn't let us order pizza anymore.  So we boycotted and everyone brought their lunch.  They put in a 40 item salad bar and pizza and subs.  It was awesome.  The funny thing is, though, that I would go through that 40 item salad bar and end up with sunflower seeds, bacon bits and green olives in Italian dressing.  I was a vegetarian, but I didn't want the lettuce and the bacon bits were made out of soy.  It's a strange combination, but I ate it almost every day my senior year.  I loved it.  I still eat sunflower seeds at least once a day.

O.K., Ray925 and Sparky, I went and tried it.  Over the weekend I fried a pickle and dipped it in ranchup.  Not too bad, but I think I'll stick with PB & Bacon.


MzHartz, you're not alone with your salt trick.  On Iron Chef America they had Battle Chocolate and the challenger used two kinds of very hoity-toity salt to accent some of his recipes.  Now there is a show to see some strange combinations.

Yeah, I don't salt "normal" foods, like vegatables and stuff, but I like to salt my sweet stuff.  Chocolate and salt are a wonderful combination! 


You know those tins of butter, cheese, and carmel popcorn?  I love to mix them all together.  I like to eat one peice of each all at the same time!

Movie theatre popcorn and raisinettes rock.  Two kernels of popcorn to one raisinette.  Heaven.  Oh, am I supposed to be watching the movie?

I like eating pretzels while drinking orange juice. You get your salt & sweet.


When I was still living at home I would ransack the cupboards looking for a snack. I often ended up making buttered popcorn and adding it to my raspberry swirl ice cream that had little chocolate flakes in it.


I have no idea why I did it but I did like it. But I don't do it now. of course I haven't had that ice cream since I left home. hmmm

Hmmm... I can't think of any weird combinations of anything that I'm particularly fond of as a rule.  PB and bacon actually sounds like something I might have to try someday.  I'm not much for condiments so ranchup would be a nightmare for me.


Probably the weirdest things I've actually seen anyone eat would involve ketchup... when I was a kid, a friend of mine used to eat cottage cheese with ketchup.  It looked so nasty, even the lunch ladies at school would gawk at her for it. I'll never forget Vera Wilson, the most hard core lunch lady ever, standing there watching Dina eat that stuff.  It probably took a whole lot to gross out Vera.  


This last weekend I watched my granddaughter dip her grapes in ketchup and then eat them. She's three and a half... she wants to put ketchup on everything.

Okay, everyone has foods they like together, as odd as they sound.  But to me there is something about a warm pickle <eck>    whether it's fried, or in hamburger helper, it sounds quite nasty.  Just like warm tuna, I just can't do it.  Tuna helper or a sandwich which has warm tuna on it, just turns my stomach.


I don't like the sweet and salty combo either.  Like, the chocolate covered pretzels, I just can't do them either. 


But I have had potato salad sandwiches.  I have taken left over homemade potato salad and put it between two pieces of white bread, with a bit more mayo, and yummy.  That is about as weird as I get in the food dept.

I've got to hand the calamari crown to, of all places, Olive Garden! Better than the expensive places here in town!!

I'd have to agree with that here too. The only place I've had better calamari was in Key West.
