Freeper Kitchen: What "weird" foods do you like to eat?

Posted on 09/14/2006 8:41:11 AM PDT by HungarianGypsy

This thread reminded me of my dad. He was from Milwaukee, so garlic sausage, herring, cheese, etc., were things he loved. I mentioned that my dad would have herring and limburger cheese on Ritz Crackers every New Year's. He also liked sugar on his tomatoes. Once mentioned that he had eaten opposum (which everyone else at that dinner enjoyed until they found out what they had eaten). If it was different, he was going to give it a try.

The weirdest food combination isn't so much. Just dill pickles and ice cream. I started that in high school. It just makes for a very cold pickle and the flavor is more enhanced. Although, I do think hummus is weird. I have yet to have hummus that doesn't make me think of dirty feet. Tried something that claimed to be babakenish(sp?), which I thought was wonderful.(Although, one of my more well travelled acquaintances said it was not what the menu claimed it was).

Now, it's your turn. Weird food combinations? General food discussions? Or tell me where I can get white soda shipped to Arizona from?

Mayo (or Sour Cream) spiced with some Old Bay seasoning is great to dip fries in!

Chocolate and potato chips, at the same time.
Also, salt on cantaloupe, learned from my southern grandparents.

Fresh mint leaves in scrambled eggs are really good. You have to use fresh leaves not dried though. One jar of yellow mustard and the same size jar of grape jelly slowly melted together make a great sauce for ribs or those tiny little hotdog franks.

In New Jersey you'll see french fries with gravy and sometimes with vinegar. Both are very good especially when salted to excess.

Maybe. I really like Old Bay on crabs or shrimp. Where do you get fries like that?

Well, it's not just deer meat. Think Rudolph, not Bambi. It's a different animal.

I always liked the club crackers with the cheese pack. It was the same general thing, little square of speadable cheese with a little red plastic stick to smear it on the crackers.

That's a little weird, but I was traveling not that long ago with a guy who put mayo on his fries. I couldn't even watch him eat.




Vincent: You know what they put on French fries in Holland instead of ketchup?
Jules: What?
Vincent: Mayonnaise.
Jules: G-damn.
Vincent: I've seen 'em do it, man. They f--king drown 'em in that sh-it.

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the f--k a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.

We must be related ;) Love dipping fries in a strawberry malt, and I must have potato chips in a tuna sandwich or a hot dog.

Something about salty and sweet just go great together. I sometimes throw chocolate chips in my popcorn bowl. Of course, I wind up with a melted mess, but....
