and you put that in your mouth?
 

so does anyone else have people making nauseated faces when they look at the conconctions you're stuffing?

i'd like to make a cookbook one day and call it "oh common, just try it".
then again, sometimes i wonder if i just have messed up tastebuds.

i think mixing onion soup and tuna is pretty damn good.
egg salad, soy sauce and chocolate cake might be pushing it eh?
ice cream and vinegar?
i could go on.

actually i've gotten a few people to like the crackers, chicken broth and onion powder.

so what i'm wondering is does anyone else have these strange eating habits?

pickles and peanut butter. Bite of pickle. Lick of PB off a spoon. No one will even try it, much less believe me when I say it's good.

*checks fridge

damn...no pickles....

My SO eats tuna salad and honey sandwiches on whole wheat.
It grosses me out. My brother used to do peanut butter, honey and mayo.
I don't eat anything too weird, I don't think. But I can never finish with a sweet taste in my mouth, so I've been known to follow up a dessert with a pickle or something salty.

Semi-sweet chocolate chip cookies and salami. Alchemic gold!

fres, that sounds delicious.

I like to put bacon or vegetarian breakfast sausage in weird things. Generally, I like the combination of sweet and salty, and so pursue odd combinations to that end. If there is bacon and/or sausage being consumed, it should be eaten with maple syrup. If I am making chocolate cookies, I sprinkle sea salt on them as they come out of the oven (I served cookies this way on Election Night; they were a big hit), so you get that hit of salt and sweet. I dip French fries in all sorts of strange things in pursuit of that sweet and salty mix.

This so reminds me of the cheese and Nutella thread.

I do this as well.

Heh. Innuendo.

I've always liked bananas and American cheese. You get energy from the sugar and carbohydrates in the banana (along with a few vitamins and minerals) and some fats and proteins from the cheese. Not to mention it's really delicious.

I also recently discovered the joys of a peanut butter and onion sandwich. It's one of those things I heard about long ago, but never really wanted to try until I had both the peanut butter and onions out in front of me.

chalk up another vote for this combo.


I also like toast with dijon mustard, fine liverwurst with sliced green manzanilla olives and cracked pepper.

I'd like to try this.

Raw onions? Diced or sliced? What's the ratio?

Raw white onions, sliced. I used maybe 4-5 slices and plenty of peanut butter, so the onion didn't overpower the rest of the sandwich.

Now that I think of it, sauteing the onions in peanut oil might be even more tasty. And put them on toasted wheat. Hmmm....

Oy, peanut butter and onion. Thanks for the suggestion!

I can't think of anything weird that I eat. But maybe now this will be it.

i'm intrigued as well. Might haveta try that.

Peanut butter goes with anything... peanut butter and bacon was something a friend would eat all the time.

I don't think I eat anything strange.

weirdly enough, in Portugal there is a saying that goes:

"banana with cheese tastes like a kiss".

Uuh I have no idea what it means heh.

Oh and in Portuguese it rhymes - "banana com queijo sabe a beijo".

Macaroni and cheese (out of a box) with (jarred) spaghetti sauce. Not the classiest, I know...definitely something I discovered in college (aka, poverty).

Interesting. Maybe I'm secretly Portuguese?

I'm mac & cheese out of a box with Dijon mustard and black pepper. How classy is that?

That sounds really tasty, actually! I think that might be dinner tonight.

We would make "gourmet" KD in university. Usually Kraft Dinner with green olives sliced in, plus some chopped ham and green onions.

I found a restaurant outside of Green bay a few years back called PB Loco that sold a chipotle peanut butter and cream cheese with bacon sandwich. It was . .OK. Not worth the millions of calories it almost certainly was.


Peanut butter, honey, and popcorn, on the other hand, rocks. Learned that as a kid from Mr. Rogers ;)

A couple of months ago I came home from work just in time for snack time for my kids and their friends. My wife had put out a mixture of cheese and crackers, pickles, jam, peanut butter. In an effort to freak out some of the kids I took two saltines, smeared them with peanut butter, added some dill pickle and cheddar cheese. They were freaking good. My kids love em like that now.

I'll try the peanut butter and onion sometime.


One thing that I get wierd looks about is Cottage cheese & mustard. I was at a sports camp when I was 15 and they made us eat loads of healthy stuff and we had to eat cottage cheese as well which I thought was just so bland and gross. Well I also had a ham and cheese sandwich and as I was putting mustard on the sandwich some mustard dripped on the cottage cheese accidentally. I tasted it and absolutely loved it. I eat it all the time now.

Neither of these things really bother me, I have a rather strong constitution as an occasional grocery store Meat Dept. worker, but...

If you have ever seen those shows on how commercially mass-produced foods are made, that usually turns most people off of them. There's just something about seeing these incredibly large amounts of otherwise "normal" food being made that grosses the average viewer out.

Same goes for beer. I have been homebrewing for a little over a year now, and to see a 5 gallon batch actually fermenting is somewhat disgusting. It's all frothy and bubbly with all sorts of solids floating around in it. Mrs. Coaster saw it and said... "And you actually DRINK that?" Then theres the dead yeast and crud that eventually settles to the bottom, smells like a sewer.

mmmm sewer.

I eat mac and cheese with a can of tuna and some mayo thrown in... I don't find this to be strange but everyone who I tell this thinks I am insane. Oooh and some fresh dill, and fresh cheese and cracked black pepper added in as well!

Bananas and ketchup/tomato sauce is really good. As a kid, I used to love peanut butter and fluff sandwiches.
