Weird food

[City of Mills]

My wife's dad brought her up eating french fry sandwiches...he would take two slices of white bread, add french fries, and douse liberally with vinegar.

Personally, I'm normal, and I was brought up eating normal food. Does anyone else have a "family" recipe they would like to share?

[Squatch]

1. Peanut butter and onion

Specifically Walla Walla sweet onions.

My Dad used to eat those nasty sandwiches.

[BiggJawn]

7. No PB, but raw onion sandwich is OK.

Gotta be a Walla-Walla or Vidalia, though.
Brown bread or Rye, slather on the Mayo, slice onions, grind pepper over all.

Enjoy!

[graywarrior]

2. Moxie and milk.

[achtung_circus]

3. Well, there's "red lead"

Stewed tomatoes, bread cubes, onions and mozarella cheese.

Sprinkle with bread crumbs and bake. No one else has ever heard of it but it's is (almost) universally found to be a good thing.

edited to add onions.

[BiggJawn]

4. Peanut butter and Miracle Whip...

Don't make that face! TRY it!

better n' ferkin' banananananas...

[CatBoreal]

16. Add lettuce and it's even better!!!

[LiberalEsto]

5. Pigs' feet jelly

It's an old Estonian dish that looks as horrible as it sounds. People eat it with vinegar.

I refused to touch it and still have nightmares....

6. My son used to make spaghetti sandwiches when he was little

Take two pieces of white bread, fill them with white spaghetti, eat.

[LiberalEsto]

8. Is there a low-carb version of that? n/t

[Nikia]

28. I did this with spagghetti Os

They seemed to taste better as a sandwich.

[Jessica]

9. Peanut Butter & Pickle Sandwiches ...

Yummmmm ... :9

On edit: I forgot Hotdog Pancakes! Just slice up a few hotdogs. Pour your pancake batter in the skillet & place a few hotdog pieces throughout. Cook & serve. Don't forget the syrup! I know it sounds gross, but trust me ... it's not!

[billyskank]

10. That's a chip butty!

And I don't consider it wierd in the slightest.

[rsdsharp]

11. Peanut butter

and dill pickles. It's also good to add cheddar cheese to the mix.

I had a boss who ate liverwurst and cake donut sandwiches. That's too weird for me.

[City of Mills]

12. The weirdest thing I like is dry ramen

And I can pretty much eat anything plain, like plain pasta, plain bread, plain pancakes, white meat turkey with no gravy, etc.

[Metatron]

24. I love dry ramen noodles!

Of course, I don't think it is weird at all. :9

[IHeart1993]

13. I eat parmasean cheese right from the container.

It's good!

[Kellanved]

39. of course it is

Oh wait: you mean grated Parmesan and not Parmigiano Reggiano?

[redqueen]

14. Lays potato chips, cream of mushroom soup, and canned chicken

all mixed up together and baked.

This is courtesy of my in-laws. I'd never heard of cooking with potato chips before...

[AwakeAtLast]

15. Dad loves to make fried bologna sandwiches

We also ate PB & Banana now and then. O. K., but not something I crave.

[Sporadicus]

17. Rocky Mountain Oysters, Prairie Oysters, Montana Tendergroin

One of the technicians in a lab near the one where I work is also a farmer, and a couple of months ago he converted most of his young bullocks into steers. He brought a large cooler full of bull to work and fried them for lunch. Of course he had enough to share, so he traveled far & wide, offering this delicacy to everyone he encountered. I went back to his work area for something, running into him and a couple of his buddies. I was cornered, unable to turn down his generous offer without sacrificing my pride and machismo.

Rationalizing that it was just another part of an animal I had consumed on countless occasions, I took a slice, about 1/4" thick and big as a slice of eggplant. As I bit into it, I became aware of how they acquired their name; they had the same texture and faint flavor of oysters. That was hard enough to handle - and I shouldn't have looked at what I was eating, for it had a spongy, porous appearance. I imagined seeing liquid seeping from those pores. My stomach was beginning to churn in revolt, but I plowed ahead, stuffing the rest of the slice into my mouth, complimenting him on the spicy seasoning. I choked it down, mumbled something about having to run, and tactfully declined another piece.

For a couple of hours afterward, I felt nauseated every time I recalled the experience. Still, I felt some satisfaction in taking the offer - not expressing revulsion at the very thought - and actually eating it in front of them.

Is it any wonder that men have a shorter life expectancy than women? We'll do ANYthing on a dare, especially when our bravery is in question.

25. Dude!

We used to have a "oyster" fry in town after the local farmers cut their bulls and boars. Yum! (You do, of course, DRAIN them before frying!) They ARE tasty!!!

[Sporadicus]

26. I'll Save My Portion for You!

I've always been a little squeamish about organ or glandular meat since I was about 11 years old. My father took me to my uncle's farm for a hog butchering. I'll spare the details of the butchery, which was bad enough, but what followed really put the kibosh on adventuresome eating on my part for years to come. After the hog carcasses were hauled away, one of the yahoos went to a pile of offal and rooted around until he found a kidney. He poked some holes in it with his pocket knife, literally squeezed the piss out of it, and poked a stick through it. He went over to a 55-gal drum that had a fire going in it and toasted the kidney like a marshmallow - for what seemed a period of time no longer than it takes to make a 'smore, then pulled the blackened mass out of the fire. He then munched on that kidney, even though I could see that it was still pink in the middle. The whole evening had been surreal - feral and brutish - and that impromptu nosh on a kidney made an association in my mind between organ meat and barbarism.

I considered my oyster-tasting a breakthrough of sorts, but they're still pretty far down on the list of animal parts I'll consume. In fact, I consider them on a par with brains, eyeballs & sphincters.

18. Tomato sandwiches.

A BIG thick slice of red, juicy tomato beween two slices of bread and smothered in mayo. Eat over the sink and let the juice run down your arms, for full enoyment.

:)

[MissMillie]

30. gotta toast the bread

but YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

[u4ic]

19. My SO grew up with chip buttys too

My brother in law makes chocolate sprinkle sandwiches...white bread, butter and chocolate sprinkles. It's a Dutch thing.

I don't know if it's weird, but we used to have ham and (fresh from the garden) cucumber sandwiches, with a splash of mustard. Yummy.

[Not_Giving_Up]

20. Grape jelly on bacon

A must have!

My husband thinks I'm weird though.

[EstimatedProphet]

21. Peanut butter on pancakes

My dad's idea. Without syrup it's not bad-just another kind of PB sandwich. With syrup it's a bit much...

[48pan]

22. Baked Bean Sandwiches with Mayo...

My father ate them. My grandfather ate bananas with mayo and would put sardines on his bran flakes in the morning.

[kslib]

23. Bread and Butter and Sugar and Cream

Yep, just what it says, a piece of white bread slather with butter, loaded up with some sugar (the butter makes it stick) and then doused with a liberal helping of cream or half-and-half. Needless to say, it makes a little kid really hyper. My nanna used to give it to me once in a great while. It kind of makes me wanna barf now though!

[loudestchick]

32. We called that "poor man's cake" w/ cream...I love it!

[hobbit709]

27. Pickled herring in sour cream sauce

Except my moose dog wants to eat the whole jar and not share.

[Nikia]

29. Baked beans as chip dip

As my dad does, I usually eat baked beans at picnics this way.

[Swamp Rat]

31. Well, crawfish is normal for me but "weird" for other folks.

[loudestchick]

33. We make a jello salad w/ knox clear gelatain, grapefruit sections

and floating in this gelatinous mix? little clumps of cream cheese mixed w/ pecans. It looks bad, sounds worse, tastes terrific!

[IntravenousDemilo]

34. You know what's delicious?

French fries doused with soy sauce. No salt required, and it makes the chips taste kind of meaty. Eat with fingers.

Avocado mashed on whole wheat toast. A friend of mine who doesn't like the look of it, calls this a "snot sandwich".

Strawberries with fresh-cracked black pepper. Pepper makes strawberries taste even strawberrier.

President's Choice passion fruit jam and sliced kiwi fruit, again on whole wheat toast. The tart wetness of the kiwi makes the passion fruit flavour explode in the mouth.

[sbj405]

35. Peanut Butter and Spinach Sandwiches

Natural PB on a nice whole wheat bread with baby spinach. yummmm.

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. No such thing as "weird food."

As long as it ain't poison, or anything. If it's edible, it's edible. You may not be used to it, of course -- for instance, I'm not partial to anything in which you eat the whole animal, like sardines or escargots. Still, it ain't weird. It's just food.

[cmkramer]

37. Cracker oats

My sister and I used to consider this quite a treat when we were kids. Basically, it's crackers cooked in milk, sweetener optional. Supposedly, it's from the Depression.

[Left Is Write]

38. Jam and cheese sandwiches.

NOT jelly - it must be jam. And good cheese.

[donheld]

40. Haggis

[Kellanved]

41. there is no such thing

The special thing I do frequently is my "horrible mixture":

Onions with lots of salt, a little garlic, lemon juice until everything swims and black pepper. Takes out any beginning cold, is a real treat and in emergencies it is a quite acceptable salad dressing.

[displacedtexan]

42. Black Pepper on...

1. cantaloupe

2. Buttered crackers

Salt on...

1. Watermelon

Salt and Pepper on...

1. French Toast
