Weird food combos...

[one_voice]

what are some of your strange food combos?

I like to dip my pizza crust in soda--has to be coke or pepsi.

I like peanut butter and honey. I like apple butter and peanut butter

I like salt on peaches, watermelon and apples--though I'm trying to break that habit.

I like a teaspoon of apple butter mixed with cottage cheese.

I love blackstrap molasses (ok that's not a combo)

Doritos and peanut butter.

bread n butter pickles and american cheese sammies (with mustard)

pepperoncini wrapped in swiss cheese

I know I have more I'm forgetting.

1. I went to a restaurant the other night...

and had a blackberry & bacon pizza with ricotta, parmesan and arugula.
Sounds weird, right?

It was amazing!

2. Tomato-Watermelon Salad

[Tom_Foolery]

3. A couple of packages of hot chocolate mix with vanilla ice cream...

Delicious.

[one_voice]

7. that sounds good!

[Tom_Foolery]

9. Oh, it is...

I also like to get some Cocoa Pebbles and mix those in the vanilla ice cream. It's like a Cocoa Pebbles Blizzard.

4. Pork rinds dipped in peanut butter mixed with Tabasco!

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. not as many as I used to....not weird, but complex - such as...

morning cereal is not just cereal - it is two cereals, granola, raisins and some fresh fruit. And the granola has lots of ingredients, including soy nuts toasted pumpkin seeds, toasted squash seeds, flax seed, wheat germ, rolled oats, steel cut oats, coconut, almonds, walnuts, craisins, raisins, currants, sweetened with brown sugar, honey, maple syrup and molasses

salads are combinations of a mix of lettuce and other greens, strawberries, pears, toasted walnuts, sweet peppers, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced turkey, with lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.

when I was young, I liked to put peanut butter on ritz crackers and put that in chicken noodle soup....and dip raw spaghetti in peanut butter and crunch it....

I am far more boring in my food choices lately!

6. Your salad sounds delicious!

I really don't eat cereal, but when I do it's usually oatmeal, nothing too exciting. I do a protein shake in the morning before I dragging my butt to the treadmill or outside running.

[LiberalEsto]

8. Sliced peaches in tossed salad

Romaine lettuce, washed and torn into bite sized pieces
One or two ripe tomatos, cut up
Peach or nectarine slices

toss with
olive oil and red wine vinegar (balsamic is good too)
seasoned salt

this is summer bliss

[pink-o]

10. Maybe not weird, but certainly ethnic!

The older I get, the more convinced I become that I was born in the wrong part of the world! Everyone else seems to have way better food than American cuisine. Here's what I like:

From Mexico, chili and lime. The hotter the better. Try Tajin instead of salt around a Margarita glass. Heaven!

From India, just about anything. Curried garbanzos or Chana Masala being my first love.

From Thailand, coconut milk curry or peanut satay sauce.

From China, bean curd sheet in Szeschuan sauce.

From Ethiopia, Yemisir Wat (curried lentils) with their fermented Injera bread and a glass of Tej to wash it all down.

Much more, but I'm getting too hungry to continue. Bon appetit!

Typo, ergo edit.

11. Saltine crackers

with a side of chunky salsa and a slice of sharp cheddar cheese.

[ConcernedCanuk]

25. Night-time snack

.
.
.

Saltine crackers, Peanut butter on one cracker, cheese on the other then make a sammich outta them, sometimes with butter or margarine.

Crawl into bed, grab a good book -

About 8 "sammiches" get's me through a half hour or so of reading - then snooze awayyyyyyyy.

12. Haven't had

It in years, but one of my favorites was Mc D's fries dipped in their vanilla shakes. Apparently I passed that one down to my kids, who like it as well.

[GoCubsGo]

26. I used to do that, too.

It didn't matter the flavor of the shake. My sisters still do it, but I haven't had a shake in 30 odd years. I haven't been to McD's in at least 10 years.

[DebJ]

13. apple butter in cottage cheese sounds good, thanks for the idea!

the apple butter/peanut butter and honey/peanut butter are really good.

so is peanut butter and sliced banana.
My Dad used to mix molasses and peanut butter on a plate and then eat it.
It was disgusting!

The pickles and cheese sounds great, too!
I love ALL kinds of mustard........

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Peanut butter sandwiches with banana slices

.
.
.

Also PB sammiches with tomato slices,

or cucumber slices.

Can of salmon or tuna mixed with Thousand Island dressing and fresh cut onions.

Also have a self-made recipe that embellishes spaghetti sauce with sauteed/fried chicken hearts (not gizzards or livers) - and one tablespoon of instant coffee. I spend hours creating this sauce - includes browned hamburger, cubed onion, fresh tomato, fresh garlic, and a variety of spices.

I like to cook.

and EAT!

15. popcorn and water

Not combining them before eating (that would be gross)--but I like to take a mouthful of popcorn, squeeze out the air, and sip a drop or two of water, making all the popcorn collapse/dissolve. Yeah: weird.

[one_voice]

29. Popcorn and twizzlers...

bite of popcorn and a bite of twizzlers. yum!

[Myrina]

16. Cinnamon Life Cereal with Oranges

and milk, of course.

[rurallib]

17. a spoonful of vanilla ice cream on a slice of pepperoni pizza

heavenly.

Also - a slice of cheddar cheese and a wedge of fresh apple.

[one_voice]

32. The cheese and apple..

I'd eat, not so sure about the ice cream on the pizza.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Meat tortellini in white clam sauce.

Served with a side of "poor man's garlic bread"--regular toast pre-buttered with garlic powder and ground basil.

That was my "surf and turf" concoction when I was a student. It was oddly delicious. Craved it every time I came back from the beach, for whatever reason.

[Chan790]

21. That sounds like my mother's idea of fancy Italian.

I think it's the New England in her...want to make something fancy? Add canned clams. Some of them are inexplicable...the clams in Alfredo being beyond comprehension. (Bad.) The clam-fritter parmigiana which was unexpectedly not terrible.

Mind you this is the same woman who screamed at me that I was wasting lobster-tail putting it in mac-and-cheese. She didn't believe anybody would pay $18 a serving for it when I told her that's how much it goes for on fancy restaurant menus either.

[Aristus]

19. Wine with casual foods.

Pizza, cheeseburgers, etc.

Although I don't have a drop of Italian blood, I like the Italian habit of wine with everything. Good for you, too.

Maybe it's the French part of me...

[Chan790]

20. Some of those are not weird.

Editorial comments in (parenthesis)

peanut butter and honey.
apple butter (or any fruit compote) and peanut butter.
salt on peaches, watermelon and apples.
apple butter (or any fruit compote) mixed with cottage cheese.
bread n butter pickles and American cheese sammies with mustard. (Traditional would be to use cheddar and a dense bread like rye. Most American cheese (it's not a regulatory strict product) is a melange of domestic easy-to-produce cheeses but mostly mild white cheddar by-volume.)

None of those are weird. The last one and the salted fruits (also brined/pickled fruits) are common on the seasonal cold-dinner menu of places like country clubs and supper clubs, afternoon teas and other bourgie Northeastern customs.

[AsahinaKimi]

22. I had a friend who

would pour Dr. Pepper into her Lucky Charms for breakfast. That must have been the ultimate sugar rush.

[hack89]

23. French fry sandwiches. nt

[blueamy66]

24. dill pickles wrapped in American cheese

cottage cheese with Chef Boyardee ravioli sauce

pepperoncini and ANYTHING

pizza crust in ranch or bleu cheese dressing

pork chops and applesauce

jelly and potato chip samiches

[GoCubsGo]

27. Finally!!!

Something that might make cottage cheese more palatable! I grew up the fat kid, and cottage cheese was considered a big "diet food". And, having had it forced on me, I have developed an aversion to the stuff. Had I been able to slather on some Chef Boyardee sauce on it, it might have gone down easier. As it is, I can only eat the stuff if it comes with some canned fruit, or with some parmesan cheese, oregano, and a sprinkling of garlic powder--kind of like ravioli/lasagna filling. Hmmmm...that ravioli sauce might be a nice addition to the latter.

We used to put potato chips on samiches,too--any kind. They went pretty well with processed meat products.

[blueamy66]

35. a bit like lasagna...you're right..loved Chef Boyardee cheese ravioli...can't find it anymore

I could eat cottage cheese with onion salt on Club crackers and pepper. Love it with pineapple, but gotta add the onion salt. Try it!

Think we may have been separated at birth. Chicago fans and eat the same crap!

[Wait Wut]

28. wtf.

Are you in a perpetual state of pregnancy?

The oddest thing I do is put french fries on my cheeseburgers.

[one_voice]

31. LOL..

no.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved crabs, with my son it was beer. I didn't drink the beer. I don't even like beer.

[hopemountain]

30. jalapenos, raisins, & sharp cheddar cheese

mixed in with my tuna salad

[pinboy3niner]

33. Chips dipped in dry crab spice

Potato chips, Fritos, anything. There's lots of cayenne in the spice, so a little goes a long way...

[trof]

34. Macaroni with Pet evaporated milk.

My mother used to make it.
I liked it when I was a kid.
Haven't had it since.
It might have been a war time (WWII) thing.

And she always served spinach drizzled with olive oil.
That's still good.

[Incitatus]

36. Pizza dipped in ranch dressing. nt

[yewberry]

37. I ate peanut butter and mustard sandwiches for lunch for a whole year.

First grade... it was the only thing I knew how to make.

My brother used to love peanut butter, lettuce, raisins and cheese sandwiches when he was a kid.

Now, I like peanut butter on my pancakes!

[MoreGOPoop]

38. Nacho Cheese Doritos dipped in

cottage cheese.

[duuser5822]

39. canned peaches with coca-cola

Weird combination I know, but it tastes pretty good to me.
