Weird food combos

drkshdw · 06-13-2018, 04:06 PM

What are some of y'all's favorite food combos that other people find weird, odd or gross?

I know people that like ketchup on eggs, fluff and banana sandwiches, pickles dipped in peanut butter and french fries in Wendy's frosty's but none of those sound appealing to me.

Personally, my absolute favorite is spaghetti-o's and cottage cheese (it's like lasagna) and everyone I know gets on my case about it. But I swear it's delicious!! Today I got chastised at lunch because I dip my pizza in ranch dressing (apparently that's an abomination to do to even bad pizza). I also eat my over easy/medium eggs with maple syrup, put ketchup in my macaroni and cheese and eat cantaloupe with black pepper on it. I don't even know why or how I started any of these combos, they're all things I've done since I was a kid.

Surely you guys have weird combos you love that others find appalling. So spill the beans...what are they? No one will judge you for it...

I'm eating ketchup and cottage cheese at the moment.
My father's favorite was steak and mayonnaise.

Ketchup on eggs is NOT weird. I do it all the time, and I am perfectly normal - or so I'm told.

I don't have any peculiar things that I eat but my dad and his brother had a couple. One was eating fried potatoes and chocolate pudding together, the other was eating cornbread and buttermilk mixed together in a big glass, somewhat like a parfait. Naturally, I have tried neither of these things, I'm content to imagine that they would not be tasty.

A friend of mines dad would have this every day after dinner. It is/was a big thing in the south. Not something I'd enjoy but I can see the appeal.

Cream cheese and olive sandwich (green not black). Haven't had one in a dogs age.

Chicken and eggs, never tried it, I saw it on menus in the south. it just doesn't sound right, or good. we couldn't find anything open and we went into a Waffle House, I saw it there. Never went back.

That sounds like it could be good. On reg bread or toasted?

(Isn't that just ____briyani? Or is that just westernized style? I don't know.)

PB mayo lettuce or sprout sandwiches for me.
Cottage cheese and apple sauce.
Red pepper hummus on everything.

French Fries smothered in mustard and mayo. Great for your arteries too !
I am totally trying the spaghetti o's with cottage cheese

My mother used to enjoy buttermilk & cornbread too. One thing I like that's not that weird is cottage cheese with black pepper and maple syrup. Sometimes I buy a small loaf of pumpernickel bread and make sandwiches with it & dill pickle slices, yellow cheese, & mayonnaise. You all should try it. My mother used to make them for me to eat in a bag lunch during sixth to eighth grade track meets when we'd go out of town.

Bite the end off of black licorice and pour a Pyxie Stick into it. Childhood heaven.

I can see the lasagna comparison. I'd probably give it a shot. I'd try ranch on just about anything once. Hey, eggs and syrup = breakfast...

Well, There are worse things to put into Mac n Cheese. I do love mustard.

Neither one of those sounds weird.
I wanted a savory (vs sweet) version of oat meal. I tried bacon bits and sauteed onions which was good, but then you've got to do that extra cooking. I eventually settled on a little soy sauce and some cheese.

That does seem a bit odd.

I like cottage cheese, but I don't think I'd want that one. Steak and mayo doesn't seem that weird.

right, it's certainly not my thing, but way too many people do ketchup on eggs for it to be considered weird.

The cornbread and buttermilk is something that my grandfather used to do. I assume it's a southern thing.

My son once added cayenne powder and tuna to mac n cheese. I thought that was gross, but one day I heated some that he'd had leftover up because I didn't realize that it wasn't just mac-n-cheese. Since I'd heated it up, I figured I needed to eat it since it wouldn't likely heat up well a second time. It was actually very tasty.

I assume oat meal with soy sauce and chunks of cheese would be considered weird by most (I know my wife won't touch it).
