The Weird Stuff We Love to Eat
Recently I was chatting with a friend on Twitter about the fact that I was craving McDonald’s french fries with a side of their tartar sauce for dipping. This completely grossed her out. What? I thought to myself, She doesn’t know the deliciousness quotient of a hot salty McD’s fry dipped in cold creamy tartar sauce? How sad. Then I asked how she feels about dipping her fries in plain old mayonnaise. Nope. She thinks that is gross too.
Wow. Those are both things I really love. They rank right up there with dipping my fries in a fresh slice of juicy tomato (sort of like a weird super fresh ketchup) or dipping crispy bacon in A1 sauce. These things are all delicious. And they are not at all weird in my mind.
Which got me thinking. What are some of the things that we love to eat – and I’m not talking about glue or dryer lint – that other people may consider a little odd?
I know my number one “weird” food item. When I tell people about it they all look at me like I’m crazy. But…when they actually try it – and many have over the past two decades – they usually end up loving it. The weird thing I love the most? Buttered Cheerios. Now before you turn up your nose, let me explain. Buttered Cheerios is something my dad started making when I was a very little kid. I’ve grown up with them. I’ve passed my love of this tasty treat onto my husband and my son. I dare you to try them and tell me they aren’t good. The best part? They are really easy to make. Fill a cereal bowl up with Cheerios. Pour a tablespoon or so of melted butter on top. Stir and eat with a spoon.
I’m drooling just thinking about them.
In order to broaden our culinary horizons and accept each other regardless of what we choose to put in our mouths, I asked my Curvy Girl compatriots to share some of their favorite interesting things to eat. This is what they had to say:
Jen: I am, like, the world’s pickiest eater (trust me) but my all time
favorite comfort food is pizza with Canadian bacon and sauerkraut.Laurin: Mine is Lay’s plain chips dipped in yellow mustard.
Nanette: Over-easy eggs on top of white rice. Mayo on corn on the cob!
Allison: Flamin’ Hot Cheetos with movie-style nacho cheese poured in the bag…eaten out of the bag.
Angie: Peanut butter, banana, & mayo sandwiches.
Emily: Peanut butter on cheeseburgers. Oh, with jalapenos too.
Daisy: I like to dip things in a ketchup/sour cream swirl.
JennyGrace: I like to dip my chips in peanut butter.
Amy: How about fries and gravy? Very Canadian. Mmmm.
Katie: I like to dip fries in mustard swirled with ketchup.
I love these ladies and their weird food habits. Some of their favorites I’m not so sure about, but hey, I’d try them at least once. How about you? What are some of the weird things YOU love to eat? How about trying one of the things we love?

Don’t go mocking the ketchup/sour cream swirl. It is deeeelicious. But I’m not sure I could ever, ever go for a sandwich with peanut butter, mayo and bananas. It makes my stomach turn to think about.
I am so not mocking ketchup/sour cream swirls. I just have to remember to try it sometime. It sounds deeeelicious. :)
I promise it won’t disappoint. It is particularly good with steak fries or roasted potato wedges.
I’ve always found it’s best with crinkle cut fries….or tater tots!
oh but it’s SOOOOO GOOOOD with a just-ripe banana and honey wheat bread. deeeelish.
I can not agree more!!! I LOVE PB, Banana, and Mayo sammys!!! I have been eating these since I was a kid thanks to my aunt. The mayo gives it this salty sweet flavor that is to die for!!!! PB, Banana, and honey is also awesome!!
Yeah, I’m still kind of dry heaving at the thought.
I love pb, mayo and banana sandwiches too. My mamaw used to make them for my cousins and me in the summer. She mashed it all up into one bowl first, then spread it on the bread. So yummy. I can’t convince anyone else of the awesomeness though.
It’s the mayo part that weirds me out and I LOVE mayo. So…huh.
I used to eat PB, mayo, and lettuce sandwiches growing up. They are awesome too! Haven’t tried banana, but I bet it would be delish!
I am with you on the ketchup/sour cream swirl. Sounds perfect for fries. And tartar sauce – also love dipping my fries in it. NOTHING with bananas though. I can’t even be in the same room as them.
You know Waffle House hash browns? I get them scattered, covered (cheese), smothered (onions) & chunked (ham). Totally not weird, right? But then I top it with Heinz 57 and syrup. OMg. The sweet/spicy/savory combo is insanely good!
Syrup is one of those things I just don’t like. The rest of it? Sounds FANTASTIC. Mmmm…
add capped (mushrooms) and diced (peppers) and i’m all up on it.
Two things I eat that my mammaw taught me to love: salted cantaloupe and mayo and peanut butter sandwiches
I like salt on watermelon. Can’t say I’ve ever tried it on cantaloupe but I do like to eat that with a pile of cottage cheese topped with pepper.
I love salted cantalope AND pepper on cottage cheese. So so so happy to know I’m not the only strange eater!
I love peanut butter & mayo sandwiches! Everyone always thinks I’m crazy when I say that…
I just wrote this one without seeing your post first. My mom loves the PB/Mayo, but it totally grosses me out. :/
Salt on cantaloupe is divine!
Mmm I love weird food combos! Although buttered cherios sound weird…
One of my guilty pleasures is chips (fries, im in England so we call then chips) with bolognese and cheese… all melty and yum!
A weird local delicacy around these parts is the mighty “Parmo”
Which is deep fried chicken in batter topped with a white béchamel sauce and cheese… I personally find them gross but they sell like hot cakes around here.
When I was at school we used to mix weird foods, one we discovered was sherbet poured into a packet of cheese and onion crisps (chips). weirdly addictive! LOL
Buttered Cheerios SOUNDS weird but TASTES so good. Try it!
The Parmo sounds good to me but the sherbet (like ice cream right?) with cheese and onion crisps sounds a little too far out for me.
Sherbet is …. A candy… Like sugar… umm (trying to think what you might call it over the pond)
Like the sugar dust you get in pixie sticks…?
Yep, pixie sticks. Still sounds odd but definitely better than ice cream.
Tabasco sauce on popcorn
I LOVE hot sauce on popcorn. But, Frank’s RedHot is my preferred hot sauce.
Frank’s is my favorite too. :)
Hot sauce on over easy eggs. NOM.
Yum, this string of hot sauce on eggs is making me hungry. Must try it on popcorn. That sounds like just the right kick.
Yes! I melt butter, mix in tabasco, and salt & pepper. Mmmmmm!
Potato chips and cottage cheese. Oh my…drooling.
sounds weird, but i’m pretty sure i’d like it.
When my mom was pregnant with me, she had wicked bad morning sickness. Until someone suggested saltines with mustard. She ate those for the rest of her pregnancy, and 31 years (almost 32 OMG!) later, that remains my fave snack. I just love mustard period. I’ll eat it on pretzels, chips, fries. I have 4 different kinds of mustard in my house. A nice mustard marinade complements any kind of meat.
my mom loves this as well… strangely, I hate mustard! Makes me gag.
Yum. Sardines in mustard on a saltine reminds me of being a little kid. My dad and I used to eat those. My favorite part was using the key to open the can of sardines. Now they are just a pull tab and somehow not quite the same.
and now I am craving a peanut butter cheese burger for dinner tonight. Looks like I’ll be firing up the grill later today!
put some nutella on it too.
I love french fries & tartar sauce. Back in the 70s Hardees had killer tartar sauce. I’ve never been able to find a duplicate that’s as good.
Potato chips dipped in peanut butter. Haven’t had them in quite a long time but as a kid they were one of my favs.
Long John Silver’s used to have the best mayo that we would get on the side and their dip chicken, fish, fries, and hush puppies in. I have no idea what the brand was but it has changed since I was a kid. Which is sad.
my daughter likes her hamburgers with peanut butter and NUTELLA. surprisingly, it’s good because it gets gooey and warm.
I’m trying this for my little girl next time we have burgers. She only nibbles at hamburgers. This might just change that.
There’s a place in the Bronx that makes a nutella dessert pizza. That thing is DEEE-lish! I don’t think I can get behind pb or nutella on my hamburger though. But I’m not much of a meat eater in general. Side effect of having to work at the family farm during butchering season.
I’m totally game for trying some buttered cheerios…but only if you try flamin hot with melted cheese, baby. xoxo
Deal.
Mayo/Ketchup swirl dip aka my special sauce for French fries. Or just plain Ranch dressing for dipping fries, chicken tenders into. I love fries with McD’s hot mustard sauce. MMMMM the big thing I get weird looks about though is bologna and cream cheese rolls. It’s simple: take a slice of bologna, smear cream cheese in the middle (generous amount, roll it up, and eat it! My mom started me on that when we were young. I love it.
I don’t like bologna but I do enjoy cream cheese rolls made with ham or hard salami. My stepmom would make them on New Year’s Eve and often put a green onion in the center. So good.
Jen, I am with you on all the above. And as for the cream cheese rolls, I just had my first ham & green onion w/ c.c at Christmas and almost ate the whole plate of them.
1 – Mix peanut butter and blackburn syrup (Has to be that brand, all the rest just don’t work), run anything through that (especially crispy bacon).
2 – Mix equal amounts yellow mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup together. Add one teaspoon of relish (homemade thousand island). Add that to just about anything but especially hot dogs.
I’m not a fan of syrup so that first one doesn’t appeal to me but the mustard/ketchup/mayo/relish combo sounds awesome. Mixed condiments FTW!
Forgot to mention for number 2 – Has to be sweet pickle relish.
Yes #2 is perfect on Hot Dogs or as a chip dip.
Fried cheese sticks dipped in ranch dressing. Bean dip on scrambled eggs with melted cheese.
The weirdest though is when I was little I would eat butter – by itself.
I have a cousin we had to hide the butter from for this reason.
I have 3 daughters. I have to hide the butter from them because they will just pick up the stick and chomp down. Makes my stomach flip.
My daughter used to do that. Barf.
Now she just eats/drinks ketchup. She’ll drink it from the little fast food paper cups or just swirl her finger in it and lick it off. I’d complain, but it is less disgusting than eating plain butter or mayo.
Doritos with Cream Cheese
Bananas in Chocolate Sauce (made from Nesquik)
Chicken Ramen Noodles with Velveeta
How do you make chocolate sauce from nesquik? Inquiring minds want to know.
I usually just make a chocolate ganache with chocolate chips and whipping cream for any kind of chocolate sauce-y goodness.
Super easy…just take the nesquik and add little bit of hot water at a time to make it saucy! If you leave it thick, it even has a little crunchy factor, hehe.
I don’t think any of that sounds weird. But…do you put the seasoning packet in the ramen? Drain the liquid? Tell me more.
Yes, drain the liquid and add the seasoning! ;)
Also, Peanut Butter and Strawberry syrup on top of pancakes and waffles!! Of course with a side of bacon to dip in the left over syrup! YUM!! This sound WAY better than the EAS breakfast shake I am having while sitting at my desk “working”
YES. THIS.
Grilled cheese sandwiches dipped in ketchup. Also, scrambled eggs with ketchup, for when you can’t find good salsa.
I never thought either of these were weird, but my friends have told me otherwise.
I will also put Chalula on just about anything savory. Tabasco will work in a pinch, but Chalula is fantastic.
My friends & I just had a scrambled eggs & ketchup debate the other day. I always just thought it was normal. Delicious!
Cholula is awesome!
ketcup on scrambled eggs is the best!!!! and we put Chalula on just about anything in our house!!!
Grilled cheese sandwiches with peanut butter!
the french fries in gravy is delicious! I craved that a lot when I was pregnant. It’s a common dish in the northeast, but my fellow midwesterners thought I was crazy!
In Pittsburgh, we have a tradition of mixing foods together. Some of my favorites from home: primanti sandwich which consists of two thick slices of italian bread, your choice of meat, french fries and german-style coleslaw…all on the sandwich. Also, steak salads, which consist of greens, hard boiled egg, tomato wedge, grilled steak, cheese AND fries w/ ranch dressing, of course! Both these dishes get knocked when I talk about it…but one try and you’re hooked!
In New Orleans I was always fond of the french fry & gravy po’boy. YUM.
I love coleslaw on a sandwich with a grilled cajun seasoned chicken breast and some cheese. Mmmm…
Fries dipped in a Wendy’s frosty. Mmmmm. I got that one from my Mom. :-) Fries in mayo with a tiny bit of ketchup. Saltines with butter on them. Chicken Fingers dipped in honey. Maple syrup on bacon or sausage. Can you tell I like the sweet/salt thing?
I’m going to have to try the peanut butter on a burger thing. I LOVE peanut butter. What else do you put on it, anything???
I’m a fan of the french fries & frosty combo as well. And french fries & mayo (or ranch). Chicken fingers (and fried okra!) dipped in honey is a given too (didn’t even know that was weird). Same with syrup & bacon or sausage. I also do peanut butter on waffles & pancakes.
And I’m from Oklahoma, the land of ranch on everything. Pizza, fries, fried pickles, etc.
I’ve done bacon with honey on it but for some reason never tried bacon with syrup
Saltines with cream cheese and a jalapeno slice on top. My husband turned me onto these and they are awesome. Also, chicken fingers dipped in honey/hot sauce combo. Salty-Sweet rules (which is why bacon and chocolate tastes good together.
The new Wendy’s fries just aren’t as good in a Frosty. I always loved fries in a Frosty. Some people really just don’t understand the appeal!
I have to agree on this one. Love the frosty & fry combo, but while the new Wendy’s fries are good, they don’t go all that well with the frosty.
French Fries in a frosty is AMAZING!!!!
OOOooo, I love saltines w/ butter. My Grammy got me hooked on those. *drools*
My mom’s weirdest thing? A PB & Mayo sandwich. I love peanut butter and unlike some people will eat mayo, but the combination grosses me out! (Has anyone heard of a shot that has mayo in it, by the way? How disgusting!)
My weirdest thing? I like to smush peppermint patties on Ritz crackers. Something about the salty sweet makes it good!
No mayo in shots, but I was at a house the other night where Egg shots came out. It was raw egg and Gentleman’s Jack. WHAT IN THE HELL is wrong with those people??!?!?!?
The mayo shot is called Smoker’s Cough, apparently. It’s a combination of Jager and Mayo. Both sound AWFUL!
Smoker’s Cough. That has to mean it looks like phlegm. Gross. That makes me think of another disgusting shot called a Bloody Brain. It’s vodka, Bailey’s, lime juice and a shot of grenadine. The combo of the Bailey’s and lime juice cause it to coagulate and the result is a brain looking think floating in the vodka. IMO, shots should not have to be chewed.
Lays dipped in mustard is good!
My two weird faves are microwaved salami/pepperoni (like, microwaved to a crisp) dipped in mustard… and green bell peppers filled with cottage cheese. YUM.
I love fried hard salami on white bread with mustard.
My favorite pizza: pineapple and green olive. People always think its weird, I know its delicious!
My husband introduced me to ham & green olive pizza. It’s rich and delicious!! Plus, we have a cat who loves olives, and he sashayed around us and the pizza box the entire time we were eating. He finally sat on the box to ensure that he would receive his fair share of the olives!
I dip my chicken nuggets (all varieties) and french fries into a ketchup/honey swirl. I have been doing it my entire life! I will also just eat french fries dipped in plain honey..It is SO good!
Honey and hot sauce for me.
spicy corn nuts with pickle juice and with some powdered kool aid poured in the bag…they use to sell this in middle school.
also, any type of chips with pickle juice will do, especially flaming hot cheetos.
i can totally relate to Allison’s flaming hot cheetos with cheese, you can also make a dorito-pie with doritos, melty movie cheese and chili.
and i luv luv luv dipping my fries in a wendy’s frosty!
Kool Aid and pickle juice? Huh?
I had the same reaction when i saw other friends eating it, until i tried it. Just the powder of kool-aid mix, thrown in the corn nut bag and addd pickle juice..YUM
Okay the mayo ones I won’t go near – I can’t do mayo or tartar sauce for that matter. But the buttered Cheerios – I’d be willing to try it. I have a friend who loves buttered frosted pop-tarts but that one I just can’t bring myself to try.
As for myself, I love dipping potato products and bread products in applesauce. Doesn’t matter if it’s fries, or mashed potatoes, or baked potatoes, etc. Dip it in the applesauce and I am all set. Same with bread. My FAVORITE bread item are the Red Lobster biscuits in applesauce, but you’ll have to bring your own applesauce [or get the biscuits to go] as they don’t have it any more. Love the looks I used to get there when I’d ask for a side of applesauce. Heh.
You should try buttered plain pop tarts–so freaking good. It’s like a buttery little pie!
My mom used to always butter our Pop Tarts when I was growing up. So yummy! I rarely eat Pop Tarts anymore, though.
I also hardly ever eat McDonald’s, but when I do, I like to dip my fries in the hot mustard nugget sauce. I think I picked that up from my best friend in middle school and it stuck with me.
I cannot find unfrosted Pop Tarts around here. I was looking for them not too long ago and I honestly thought they stopped making them.
Potato Pancakes + Applesauce = German American Festival staple. Yum.
Peanut butter and pickle sandwich! Yummmmmmmm
Mini flavored marshmallows on salad. Works best with a salad of mixed greens, including crisp cold iceberg. No dressing. Add some sunflower seeds, or raisins…yum!
Bacon and maple syrup. Comes from years of my parents making pancakes every Sunday morning, with bacon sides. The syrup always got on the bacon from the pancakes. It’s almost better on the bacon than the pancakes.
I had no idea that people thought grilled cheese dipped in ketchup / scrambled eggs with salsa / peanut butter and banana sandwiches were weird. Around here grilled cheese dipped in tomato soup is quite a renowned comfort food.
I forgot one, eggs with soy sauce! An ex loved this!
LOVE french fries dipped in tartar sauce. My mom thinks its so gross. And french fries in a Frosty is a must! I haven’t done that in so long! I used to go to Burger King because I liked their fries best, and then walk down the street and get a Jr Frosty at Wendy’s. Heaven! Chicken fingers in honey is soooo good too! Maple syrup on bacon isn’t weird at all, we always get bacon that is maple flavored! The smell as its cooking is wonderful! I can not eat a grilled cheese sandwich unless I have cold ketchup to dip it into! One of my favorite types of pizza is ham, pineapple and marichino cherries! Its something my best friend came up with years ago, and we both love it! Another thing I like to do, and it might not be too weird, is mix Maltesers (and Irish candy, sorta like Whoppers, but yummier) with buttery, salty popcorn. Mmmmmm I love salty and sweet combos. But its a taste combination I just discovered I like only a few years ago. I’m so glad to hear that I am not the only one that likes weird foods. :) Now I’m hungry!
Holly, I have another way to step up the Cheerios. Melt butter in a sauce pan and pour in cheerios and get the butter to coat the cheerios and the heat from the pan warms it all up and it is glorious. It’s like fried Cheerios. (So glad I wasn’t the only one that grew up with butter on their Cheerios!)
Yum. And high five on being another buttered Cheerios eater!
Mashed potatoes with A1 sauce.
Okay, nobody has mentioned this yet so it may be weirder than I thought, but I like to slice apples and dip them in vinegar. I don’t know where it came from. All I know is that one day as a child, I decided that it sounded good and I did it. And it was good. The End.
The End. HAHA! Love it!
Isn’t that REALLY sour?
Not too sour. The apple doesn’t absorb much vinegar since it’s so full of water. Plus, I don’t use sour apples like granny smith. I like gala.
My go to comfort food for sick days is Campbell’s tomato soup poured over a blob of cottage cheese.
Mayo is not okayo, in any way, shape or form. That is all ;)
One of my favourites is Jamaican beef patties with cream cheese and mustard. So good. Also adore cantaloupe with cottage cheese, and bacon with maple syrup. Fudgeeos are also amazing spread with some peanut butter, tastes like a Reese peanut butter cup.
I haven’t seen anybody mention poutine, a Canadian fave. Fries with cheese curd and gravy. DELISH.
Poutine is good. My dad lives in the U.P. of Michigan and you can get poutine up there. Can’t get it here in Ohio.
I like to dip my pizza in ranch dressing…yum! When I was a kid I would eat butter sandwiches…just 2 slices of bread, both heavily buttered and sandwiched together! My little one loves to dip anything and everything in ketchup…pb&j sandwiches, mashed potatoes, raw baby carrots, grilled cheese…no matter what it is, he wants his ketchup!
My little one puts ketchup on Cheetos.
When I was younger, I used to eat butter & onion sandwiches with my mom. Also: cottage cheese w/ ketchup & dried onion. Delish!
I am buying him a tshirt that I saw in New Orleans that says “I dip my ketchup in my ketchup” They even have them in adult sizes for all you ketchup dippers….just saying! LOL!!
Fries in ice cream, popcorn in ice cream, popcorn with cantaloupe, pretzels with cantaloupe, salt on watermelon.
hot and spicy Barbeque sauce on ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm
Or back home in Belize we put condense milk (you know that sweet thick milk you use for deserts and such, well we spread that on white sliced bread. mmmmmmmm
french fries dipped in strawberry milkshake
yes! in college my roommate and i would make midnight runs to Wendy’s for fries and frosties :)
Crunchy peanut butter, miracle whip and dill pickle sandwiches or when tomatoes are in season, pb&mw with tomato slices. Da bomb!
Peanut butter spread on a warm, flour tortilla! My husband got me hooked on this. You just turn the burner on the stove on, put the tortilla on top, flip it a few times and then spread the peanut butter on while it is still warm to make it all gooey and delicious. Roll it up and enjoy! Now I need to go eat one.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon & sugar on it too before you roll it up. You won’t be disappointed…LOL.
Oooooo yum!
I’d have to say Chick-fila-onnaise on fries, and pickles dipped in the same. Yum. E. Ness!
And I LOVE sour cream and yellow mustard on a sloppy joe. Definitely adding that to the pre-deprivation list this weekend…LOL
I love mayo with ANYTHING. It’s all good. :)
One thing I grew up with that grosses my husband out is a bun, cut in half with cheese whiz and bacon bits. Broil until bubbly. Soooo good!
Also loves crackers with sausage, cheese and pickle. And red onion on my grilled cheese sandwich, dipped in BBQ sauce of course.
Eggos(still frozen) with green tobasco sauce. His wasy go to snack in high school(and no I was not high) I don’t buy frozen waffles now though.
Also, strawberry tobasco butter on French toast( I came up with this at Denny’s, my mom stared at me like I had worms crawling out of my nose)
Hot fudge and habanero tobasco on ice cream. Or apple butter on my ice cream
I like my fries dipped in mayo mixed with sweet pickle relish.
And I will put sour cream on anything!
I would totally give buttered Cheerios a try. Sounds good!
I’m with Nanette, growing up we always had fried eggs over rice. The runnier the yolk the better!
Try the buttered Cheerios! So freakin’ good.
Pizza crust dipped in honey. Sweet and salty. It’s perfect.
My husband puts grape jam on his grilled cheese. I thought that was weird until I tried it and now I can’t eat a grilled cheese without having grape jam on top of it. So good, the sweet and salty combo. Works best with Sharp Cheddar cheese. YUMMY!
I am not a tuna fish eater but on very rare occasions, like twice a year I must have it. But it has to be made with lots of mayo (which I also don’t typically like), ketchup and hot sauce and relish. MMM… Tonight may be a tuna fish night.
Screw the tartar sauce, dip your fries in McDonald’s banana milkshake. Ohhhhhhhhhhh god it’s goooooooooooood.
Although, some of the suggestions my mates came up with did make me vomit: http://www.mochabeaniemummy.com/2011/01/the-great-mcdonalds-fries-and-milkshake-debate/
I don’t think the McD’s around here makes banana shakes.
like nanette. i love mayo on..corn on the cob, but first i squeeze a lime on it. add the mayo, some tapatio(hot sauce) and a little salt. i can eat that for days!
Want. NOW.
Get the corn on the cob, add lime, spread mayo, spread butter, springle with mexican shredded cheese (queso fresco), and add mexican chili sauce…SO GOOD.
You can also just get canned corn and mix all in a bowl.
My family has always been a tartar sauce/fries family :) Nothing better…
and I adore hot buttered Cheerios! Mmm, with a pinch of salt!
My best friend in high school used to eat peanut butter and mayo sandwiches and it would gross me right out!
Some other ‘weird’ things I like to eat…peanut butter and syrup on waffles, peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, peanut butter, banana & honey sandwiches, fluffer-nutter sandwiches (marshmallow fluff and PB), taco seasoning on my popcorn…all sound perfectly normal to me but I’ve had people tell me they are weird.
Once in high school a friend and I tried to prove who loved their condiment of choice more…me with ketchup or her with mustard…and ate it on top of ice cream. (I do not recommend trying this one!)
Fluffer Nutters are SO good. I haven’t had one of those in a long time. I need to remedy that soon. I bet my son would LOVE them.
i didn’t see this one mentioned…..grilled cheese with peanut butter on top? well…now in our house it’s sunflower butter (child with peanut allergy) soooo good. dipping just grilled cheese in ketchup or tomato soup is awesome. chicken noodle soup with some ketchup is tasty as is mac and cheese with some.
a “weird” dish i make for dinner sometimes is chicken and waffles…but not probably how you’ve seen on tv. just cooked shredded chicken breast on top of a warm waffle then chicken gravy poured on top. top with salt and pepper…..it’s so amazing. the fried chicken and syrup combo of it is weird to me and just not right.
what about a pancake with butter then sugar sprinkled on top then rolled up? that’s our “breakfast dessert”
The pancake sounds great, I may have to try that :)
Definitely going to try the Cheerios with butter. I’m not a mayo fan, but have had grilled cheese spread with mayo instead of butter and that’s good!
My son eats A1 on everything, bacon, burgers, ham, chips….
I grew up Catholic and growing up we put honey on our fish and hush-puppies. It started with one of my cousins, we made fun of him for a while but once we tried it we all loved it. I can only do it with fresh fried fish, not frozen, store bought, or the nasty sticks.
I make chip and cheese sandwiches. You take a hamburger bun, a slice of cheese (Cheddar or American) and ruffles potato chips. And that’s it!
I also like Pringles on my hot dogs, they fit perfectly on the bun under the weenie.
I heard a horrible, HORRIBLE joke about mayo (think nasty teen zits) and to this day cannot eat it unless I don’t know it’s in a recipe. I’m silently gagging now. Belch. Ugh. My craziest combo is probably plain chips dipped in mustard. It’s not a favorite by any means, but I’m a pretty plain Jane kind of gal so it’s the zaniest I could come up with. Again, mayo? Gag.
My friends in high school used to make “prison burritos”. You get a regular bag of nacho cheese Doritos, chili ramen, and if you’re really fancy, some shredded cheddar cheese. Open the Doritos, make the chili ramen inside the bag, then roll the bag closed and let sit for a few minutes. The contents will solidify (I know, sounds gross). Cut the bag all the way open, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and enjoy!
jelly on scrambled eggs… peas in macaroni and cheese… syrup on hashbrowns.
Ewww, mayo? Grody!
I’m fond of the meatless mocoloco. Scoop of rice, over easy egg, and mocoloco gravy. Add a little hot sauce and A1 and you’ve got yourself a tasty meal.
@Debbie – your son is awesome, A1 is wonderful on almost everything!
I like quite a bit of strange combos. I too like ketchup on scrambled eggs, i also like them with hotdogs cut up in them. I like white rice with warm milk and sugar. What my family calls “toast cereal”, you break up toast in a bowl and add warm milk and sugar, super yum! My favorite is cottage cheese and applesauce, I like to make a hole in my cottage cheese and put the applesauce in the middle, like mashed potatoes and gravy. Me and my cousin are the only 2 people I know that like it. It is one of my all time favorite foods.
I was about to add the cottage cheese/applesauce combo to the list! Growing up, when my sister and I would stay at our grandparents’ house -and Grandpa was in charge of lunch- we would empty all of the fridge contents onto the kitchen table and just load our plates up with “crazy” combos. This is definitely one that “stuck”! It’s a bit of that sweet/salty combo- delicious! :)
I was so excited to see someone else loves Wendy’s fries dipped in a Frosty. But the old ones, not as good with the new ones.
I also loved pickle & potato chip sandwiches as a kid. When allergic to peanut butter you get creative.
I love buffalo fingers dipped in honey mustard. Yummy!
In 7th grade, my best friend and I went to McDonalds and ordered burgers and fries and she asked for tartar sauce. I was like, But you didn’t get a Filet O Fish? She too, dips her fries in tartar sauce, lol!
At first I thought it was disgusting, then I tried it, and actually liked it! When I was pregnant with my daughter, I wanted it ALL the time!
I also love Green olives and cheddar cheese chunks, not that strange but I love all that saltiness together!
Bacon dipped in pancake batter, deep fried and dipped in syrup.
Bacon dipped in maple syrup.
Pineapple and broccoli pizza dipped in ranch dressing…
I am so late to the party, but I wanted to say a lot of these “weird” food combo’s just kinda sound good. Maybe I’m “weird?”
Mine are grape jelly on warm pancakes folded and eaten taco style, or grape jelly on Long John Silver’s hushpuppies (this still sounds gross to me but it is good. I also really like applesauce with my boxed mac-n-cheese.
@Jenny above me that deep-fried bacon in syrup sounds WONDERFUL!
Pancake syrup poured over cottage cheese. Mustard on pizza. Butter and grape jelly on saltines. Fried bologna sandwich. Take half a cantaloupe, scoop out seeds, and put in a scoop or two of ice cream in the middle.
Oh man! This is awesome, I was actually just eating a bagel toasted with lots of butter and some all dressed popcorn seasoning on top and everyone at work thought I was rediculous! Its soooo yummy, tastes just like a flavored pretzel :)
