My favorite, weird (some may say gross) combinations is maple syrup on cottage cheese. I think it goes back to when my Mom would "treat" us kids with pancakes for dinner, and for some reason, we always had cottage cheese on the side. Of course the syrup would always leak over into the cottage cheese.

BTW, my husband also eats ketchup on his mac and cheese.

Doesn't sound gross to me. I like apple butter with cottage cheese.

And certainly being from Wisconsin you boil the brats in beer first right?

Also, try Johnsonville Hot Italian Sausages made like a beer brat! Try it on a Sheboygan hard roll (double brat) and you will be in Heaven!!!!

Do you happen to remember Brunettes Ace Hardware in Sheboygan? My Grandparents owned it. In fact I was, sadly, in Sheboygan today for my Grandma Brunettes funeral.

I remember Brunettes’ very well, it was a true hardware store. In fact I went to school with a couple of their kids. Sorry to hear about your Grandmother; she was a very good woman.AWB

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Good God almighty which way do I steer
For my cheeseburger in paradise??

Hamburgers with mayo, BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays), cheese, lettuce.

- OR -

Mayo, cheese, lotsa grilled sweet onions, lotsa grilled mushrooms

Hotdogs with mustard on one side and ketchup on the other!

[Kickass Conservative]

Agreed, but I put Mayo on both. Not just Mayo, Best Foods Mayo. (Best Foods is Hellmans East of the Mississippi).

And just to make trouble, Mallomars are the best cookie in the world. Don't deny the truth.

I say if you want a happy marriage that you eat hamburgers/hotdogs the way you like and she eats them as she likes and quit making like it’s a major issue! Argue about your kids, or money, or the in-laws like most normal folk.

[proudofthesouth]

Hot dog: Mayo, mustard, and onions.
Hamburger: Mayo, mustard, onions, and lettuce.

Dang! You’re making me hungry! lol

I grew up eating Cains mayo which is made in Mass. Duke’s tastes exactly the same to me. If you have family in New England, have them give it a try! Only problem with the shipping 4 or 5 bottles is it is not loaded with preservatives so it has a shorter shelf life.

[geezerwheezer]

I’ve had both, and Duke’s wins out with me. Must be something I really like in Duke’s mayo that isn’t in al of the others around, but to me it is the absolute best around.I aways ask for it, ad when it isn’t available I pout, but eat whatever is there if my food calls for mayo. I’m the same way with Coca Cola and Pepsi, as I love Cokes. My wife gave me a blind taste test and I picked Pepsi 7 out of 7 times! Go figure!!!

I think people need to spend more time arguing about how they hang the TP.... dispensing off the top and front of the roll, or off the bottom and back of the roll as it hangs from the wall dispenser.

ha, not a big fan of amba cause I’m not crazy about Indian type of food in general. It was brought by Iraqi Jews to Israel & Iraq has a lot of Indian influence. Some amba sellers will specify that they are selling amba hodit just to indicate that they are selling the most real authentic amba in Israel. & I hear the best way to eat it is with the Iraqi bread sammoun.

Try my garlic mayonnaise!

Use at least 12 garlic cloves but more if you like garlic. I use like 20 because I love garlic. Put the garlic into a blender along with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, & a pinch of cayenne pepper. Puree it until its perfectly smooth. Now you’re going to add one cup of vegetable oil. (or you can use 3 parts vegetable & one part olive like I do) but do it very very slowly!! Make sure you do it slowly because that’s the key to making it nice & creamy.

& here’s an idea for a relish from the country where I came from, Lebanon.

Pickled turnips:

Chop 2 garlic cloves & quarter 2 white turnips & one beet. Put them in the pickling jar. Boil 3 cups of water, 1/4 of a cup of salt, & 1 cup of vinegar. Pour it over the vegetables, almost to the top. Store them in a dark & cool place for 10 days & they will be ready to take out, chop, & used as a relish. Or eat them just plain, like pickles.

Lebanese love to pickle things & I’ve pickled everything from grape leaves to green walnuts.

Also posted a recipe for Lebanese potato salad here:

I dress my burgers in one of two ways. If I have lettuce, tomato and onion on the burger, I put a dressing I make of ketchup mixed with mayo,you can add a bit of horseradish to this as well. Yum. In Jersey, we used to refer to this as a California burger, now the diners call this a "deluxe" burger. If just have a plane burger, no veggies on it, I keep it simple with ketchup and yellow mustard and dill pickle slice. On my hot dog I put brown mustard, ketchup and sweet pickle relish. If I have kraut on the dog, just brown mustard. Of course you can go all out and get one of these or one of these.

I'm a little late to this thread but IMO as long as the condiments come from here, it's OK by me ;)
