Title: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Susan on May 05, 2007, 11:47:14 PM Ok the hot dog thread got me thinking of the strange food combinations people make. Sometimes i don't realize mine are strange until someone points it out. Of course, since when is it weird to eat potato chips with cream cheese?
What are some unusual food combinations or ways that you eat? Examples, and feel free to try these because they're good:
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: flackbait on May 05, 2007, 11:58:44 PM Potato chips with catchup to dip them in is actually not bad, but I haven't tried them for a while.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Zapranoth on May 06, 2007, 01:07:24 AM Hey, Susan... why are you eating that pizza with a fork and knife? Barbarian. :teddyr:
My brother in law used to make... puke... peanut butter and Karo syrup sandwiches... One of my favorite things is a smallish cup of milk (usually skim or 1%, go figure) with some chocolate chips in it. I spoon the chips out and eat them with a little milk on them. The milk must be cold, though. When I was little I used to crunch dry pasta, too. You know, eating dry spaghetti noodles. Eating the lasagna noodles dry was kind of painful, but I did it anyway. Don't know why. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Ash on May 06, 2007, 01:14:47 AM French Fries with ice cream are awesome!
Especially Wendy's Biggie fries dipped into a Frosty. :thumbup: Sometimes I eat "spaghetti naked". No...I don't eat spaghetti without clothes on... :teddyr: I eat it with just butter and parmesan cheese. No sauce. Apparently around here, if you don't put sauce on your spaghetti, it's known as "spaghetti naked." And yes, I too eat pizza with a fork. Most times, pizza is just too hot to handle and I'm too impatient to wait for it to cool. When I went down to Australia, they always gave me a hard time about that. They would say, "Pizza is finger food dummy! You don't eat it with a fork! Even worse...my sister will eat creamed corn with Tabasco sauce. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Zapranoth on May 06, 2007, 02:36:51 AM When I was in school, my wife worked with a nurse who would eat mustard by the spoonful...
Or in soup... Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: RCMerchant on May 06, 2007, 06:15:58 AM I put hot sauce on almost anything...in soup,on spahgetti,fries,chicken burgers,sandwhices,potroast,eggs,you name it...yes...with veggies too...I like the EL Yucateco Green Chile Habenero Sauce...but will use Jalepeno in a pinch.
I also like potato chips on bologny sandwhiches,with peanut butter(CRUNCHY!),or with horse radish. I also have a tendencie to mix together every thing on my plate...like if we have taters,meat and veggies,I cover it all with gravy and hot sauce and stir it up. "Your ruining my food"-Tara Sue,my wifey. When I drank whiskey,I would mix it with canned fruit,or soda,tea,coffe,kool-aid....I would carry a pint in my pocket,so when we would eat out,I could sneak some in to whatever I was drinking. I must sound like some kinda backwoods hick...(oh,yeah...Lawton,Michigan...heh,heh..). Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Andrew on May 06, 2007, 06:29:30 AM Knew a Marine once, he would put Tabasco on everything and I mean everything.
My wife stopped my mother from feeding my daughter a spoonful of pure mayonnaise once. My mom does not have the best eating habits. Presented with something healthy, she will ask for baloney and mayo - or go off the deep end and want Fruity Pebbles. My wife makes good fajitas (from a recipe given to her by Todd's wife). My mom didn't want one. She wanted a baloney and cheese sandwich on white bread, slathered with mayo. Mom also thinks that eating a Big Mac calms her stomach. One of the few things I do that seems to throw people off is apples and good German beer. Apples go really well with beer, both sliced apples or stuff like potato pancakes with applesauce (apple strudel does too). Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Snivelly on May 06, 2007, 07:07:36 AM "Naked spaghetti" or any other pasta isn't so strange.....that's the only way my kids will eat it. I don't think I have any "weird" eating habits of my own, other than eating crunchy peanut butter on apples and an insane craving for spicy foods, but taking my kids out to eat is a nightmare. One will not eat any meat unless it's turkey bacon or chicken nuggets from McDonald's only, and the other, who will eat some meats, will order pizza but only eat the cheese and toppings, not the crust. Oh, and the only cooked vegetable they'll eat is corn, all others must be raw. They won't touch things most other kids love, like hot dogs or hamburgers.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Susan on May 06, 2007, 07:30:49 AM French Fries with ice cream are awesome! Especially Wendy's Biggie fries dipped into a Frosty. :thumbup: Sometimes I eat "spaghetti naked". No...I don't eat spaghetti without clothes on... :teddyr: Well, I think I might have one time... (just gave you a bad mental picture didn't I?) Actually, I think I was wearing only socks. I eat it with just butter and parmesan cheese. No sauce. Apparently around here, if you don't put sauce on your spaghetti, it's known as "spaghetti naked." And yes, I too eat pizza with a fork. Most times, pizza is just too hot to handle and I'm too impatient to wait for it to cool. When I went down to Australia, they always gave me a hard time about that. They would say, "Pizza is finger food dummy! You don't eat it with a fork! Even worse...my sister will eat creamed corn with Tobasco sauce. Try fries with a hot fudge sundae from mcdonalds - it's really good when you get some of the hot fudge on the fry. Y ou know that's another beef, mcdonalds now puts the fudge on the top only, back in the day they used to put it on the top AND bottom (because nothing is better than reaching the ooey gooey bottom) I spend so much time picking the cheese off it gets messy so I use a fork and knife to do it, it's quicker to eat my pizza that way than to pick off some cheese, pick it up and take a bite, grab the silverware again... I eat some of the cheese just not ALL of it. It's got a rubbery consistency and i've had pizza on the east coast. HUGE difference, real cheese. i don't know what the hell places here are using. btw, naked spaghetti isn't so weird. Lots of people eat pasta just drizzled in olive oil - including italians. ;-) I never eat spaghetti, i prefer vermacelli. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Susan on May 06, 2007, 07:37:43 AM I put hot sauce on almost anything...in soup,on spahgetti,fries,chicken burgers,sandwhices,potroast,eggs,you name it...yes...with veggies too...I like the EL Yucateco Green Chile Habenero Sauce...but will use Jalepeno in a pinch. I also like potato chips on bologny sandwhiches,with peanut butter(CRUNCHY!),or with horse radish. ..). My scrambled eggs are not done until they are well cooked and orange from the hot sauce, then i pepper them heavily with crushed pepper and bacon bits. I discovered potato chips in sandwhiches when i was a teenager. I used to come home, watch 21 jumpstreet and make myself one giant hogie with ham, lettuce, hogie bread and lots of lays (which i found are the preferable chip for a sandwhich. Crunchy but not too thick) Also - i've too have been known to eat lots of mustard. If i'm using it for dipping purposes i'll put extra on my plate so i can eat some by itself. love mustard :teddyr: btw, not so strange but if anyone wants to try a REAL soda get some Goose Island from Target. It's the only soda i ever drink at home. All sodas use High Fructose Corn Syrup (vs sugar) and i'm not going to go into a long story about what that is you can google it. This brand is one of the few that uses pure cane sugar, the way soda's used to be back in the day. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Katie on May 06, 2007, 08:53:43 AM The french fries with ice cream is more common than you might think. My best friend (the original Katie B. aka looking for a midget to marry gal) turned me onto this in Jr high. I think the craziest thing my husband think I eat is Pb, bacon and cheese on toast. My dad use to make it for my brothers and I as a kid and it is great. I have stopped eating it since the fat content is a little scary.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Menard on May 06, 2007, 09:15:58 AM Sometimes I eat "spaghetti naked". I am officially grossed out. :tongueout: Knew a Marine once, he would put Tabasco on everything and I mean everything. Tobasco sauce, the serviceman's food source. My father was regular Army and he was like that. His favorite snack was thick sliced bologna, cut into chunks, with tabasco sauce on it. Some of my bad food habits include: Peanut butter on ice cream. Jello (the powder, not prepared) mixed with peanut butter. Waffles: they have to be buttered and have a slice of cheese melted between each layer and on top. I'll take hash brown patties, soy crumbles (veggie ground beef), and margarine, microwave them, and mash it all together. It would be better with veggie sausage crumbles (which are hard to find) and some eggs (but I don't always remember to buy the eggs). There was this vegetarian sandwich spread (a mix of garbanzo beans, peanut butter, and black olives) that I used to buy and mix mayonaise into it; alas, I haven't seen it in a while. The non-vegetarian version would be to mix mayonaise with potted meat or deviled ham, and, optionally, add minced black olives. And any type of chip or cracker dipped in beer cheese. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Shadow on May 06, 2007, 09:23:22 AM Apparently I have no weird eating habits, as almost everything mentioned in this thread does not sound appealing. I was a very picky eater as a kid, so as an adult I find that I prefer my foods simple and not mixed together with something else. Maybe that's strange in itself.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Susan on May 06, 2007, 10:34:57 AM Apparently I have no weird eating habits, as almost everything mentioned in this thread does not sound appealing. I was a very picky eater as a kid, so as an adult I find that I prefer my foods simple and not mixed together with something else. Maybe that's strange in itself. are you one of those people who doesn't like their food to be touching on the plate? :wink: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Zapranoth on May 06, 2007, 11:39:31 AM Snivelly, do your kids eat their pasta dry and uncooked? (Uncooked is the word I should have used)
Anybody ever try the pixie stick and cap'n crunch sandwich for themselves? Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Shadow on May 06, 2007, 11:49:09 AM are you one of those people who doesn't like their food to be touching on the plate? :wink: LOL, yes! Though, as a kid I was quite more vocal about it. These days I am more tolerant and there are some things I do like to mix together. :teddyr: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Snivelly on May 06, 2007, 12:14:31 PM Oh yes! The older one will eat rice that way too, but she won't touch cooked rice.
Quote Waffles: they have to be buttered and have a slice of cheese melted between each layer and on top. For some reason that made me hungry! I'm also partial to banana peppers on pizza, is that strange? Tabasco is good too, but the peppers have a much nicer flavor. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Ed, Ego and Superego on May 06, 2007, 12:16:01 PM those all sound good. a sprinkle of salt on a hot fudge sundae does wonders. Though, I gotta say Susan, your not cooking sounds luike cooking to me. the tortilla pizzas... thats cooking, give yourself credit!
My grandmopther, who would eat whole onions and any organ meat going, was totally disgusted by peanut butter. -Ed Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Poogie on May 06, 2007, 01:22:01 PM I love dipping fries in ice cream, it's the sweet and salty delight.
A strange combination of food when I was growing up was Spaghetti with the regular spaghetti sauce, but we always had peas with it and peanut butter and jam on bread. When I first got married I would fix the same thing and get a funny look from the hubby. As time went by he got used to it and now if I don't cook the peas he asks "where's the peas?" I like to put potato chips on tuna fish sandwiches, it's one of those sweet and salty delights also. This one will probably make everybody sick but here it goes. Chili beans with a mixture of mayo and catsup on them.........try it, it's delicious. :buggedout: :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Mofo Rising on May 06, 2007, 02:05:18 PM
I've been eating pancakes sans syrup since I was a kid. My brother convinced me to do it as a joke, but I ended up eating them that way ever since. I also enjoy french fries w/ pepper (http://www.amazon.com/Like-Swimming-Morphine/dp/B000005AM3/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6/102-5982831-7154501?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1178477940&sr=8-6). Of course, I enjoy almost everything with pepper, and lots of it. I wouldn't say I have any strange combinations of ordinary foods. I enjoy ramen with seaweed in it, if that counts. I will, however, eat almost anything. Alligator, ants, all sorts of strange sea creatures, fermented salmon eggs, rendered seal fat, lengua, rattlesnake, oddball fruits and vegetables... if I haven't tried it I'll give it a shot. The only thing I think I wouldn't eat is a primate. Oh, and mayonnaise. It has its time and place, but I don't trust the stuff. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Susan on May 06, 2007, 02:22:56 PM Of course, I enjoy almost everything with pepper, and lots of it. Same here, and when i discovered that you could grind your own pepper vs the imitation dust my mom used to buy i was in heaven. The flavor! I put so much pepper on my turkey at the thanksgiving table it looks charred. :thumbup: ramen noodles and seaweed - uh yeah. that counts. A friend at would eat ramen noodles uncooked as a snack. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Katie on May 06, 2007, 03:13:28 PM Andrew likes to ask people strange questions. One time he asked my grandmother (who grew up on a farm in NE during the dust bowl), "If you were going to eat a human body, where would you start?" Of course most grandmothers would have hesitated, but not mine. She loved Andrew and knew he was serious. Without hesitation she said, "oooh! I'd start with the brain." My grandmother was one of these people who would know how to cook up any part of a cow, pig, or other farm animal and make it delicious (as long as you didn't know what it was). We wished she was still alive to watch Fear Factor. She would have made a great contestant.

If you ever make a family book of written memories and quotations, you have to put that in there! they should have a grandma fear factor, some of the stuff they make them eat the older generations grew up eating. pig snouts...calf brains... all you need is a little mustard :wink: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: JaseSF on May 06, 2007, 05:20:28 PM Some people seem to think me strange for putting green peas (canned, I prefer canned) on top of my mashed potatoes. I love the combination personally. Makes a great topping. And if I don't have canned peas, canned corn will do nicely. But it has to be canned or nothing in my world.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Katie on May 06, 2007, 05:22:47 PM That's not odd. It is how we got our 4 year old to eat them, without having them all over the floor.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: JaseSF on May 06, 2007, 05:26:24 PM Well I'm about the only person I know who prefers canned peas and corn over fresh. Baked beans are great for adding weird stuff in but I prefer weiners in it which is fairly normal I'd guess.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Katie on May 06, 2007, 05:29:53 PM Baked beans can have anything added to them. Just last week I had a discussion with a co-worker about fixn' beans. She uses cinnamon sugar, and butter. I use just about an condiment that is open in the fridge.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Dennis on May 06, 2007, 06:06:19 PM Back in the 60's my mother, who had never eaten Spam, saw that the local market was having a sale on it, she bought about a dozen cans. The following day she took 5 out, covered them in cherry glaze, put a pineapple ring and a cherry on the top and just before my dad came home she put them in the oven to bake. Her idea was that each of us would have a personal sized canned ham, which apparently is what she thought spam was. When my father, veteran of the 8th Air Force in WWII came in the door he looked toward the kitchen, wrinkled his nose, and said in a loud voice "I'm not gonna eat that crap again!". Turned out that his bomb group had Spam 3 times a day for a couple of months and he'd promised himself he would never eat it again. Personally I like it, think it's great for backpacking, even if it's a little heavy to carry around.

Spam is great because you can fry it (which i prefer well done with mustard), or eat it sliced straight from the can on a sandwich. Of course now i rarely eat it mostly due to the fat and sodium content. I guess your mom was a little more creative with how it was cooked than mine..lol
it's just pork shoulder guys alternatively it can be used as a weapon if needed Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: DodgingGrunge on May 06, 2007, 08:33:15 PM I put hot sauce on almost anything...in soup,on spahgetti,fries,chicken burgers,sandwhices,potroast,eggs,you name it...yes...with veggies too... I am guilty of that. Curse the tastiness of the habanero pepper! People tend to find my fondness for potatoes and potato products a bit strange, particularly my habit of mixing and matching. For example, I have been known to use mashed potatoes as a dipping sauce for potato chips. Personally I feel you can never get enough starch. :wink: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Susan on May 06, 2007, 09:47:31 PM I have been known to use mashed potatoes as a dipping sauce for potato chips. Personally I feel you can never get enough starch. :wink: That reminds me of something else I do. Whenever i have potato wedges or homestyle fries at a restaurant i like to dip them in my mashed potatoes :teddyr: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Trevor on May 07, 2007, 03:37:40 AM :smile: I am another person who hated my food being mixed: I wanted to see what was nice and what was yucky. I would eat the tasty stuff first and force down the greens later. Sweetcorn and mealies (corn-on-the-cob) still make me want to projectile vomit.
I normally gross people out big time when I order a pizza ~ I ask for flies and stinkbugs as a special topping. :tongueout: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: dean on May 07, 2007, 06:14:38 AM So far nothing in this thread has made me too worried. French fries in ice-cream is a classic, so no wierdness there. Same with peas on mash potatoes or pepper on hot chips... As for my own 'I think that's wierd' moment. Quite a few people always wondered why I ate a sausage roll inside another roll. The best for me was a cheese and tomato roll from the bakery [basically a flat-ish round roll with cheese and tomato paste plus herbs for those not in teh know] and I'd put the sausage roll in there with some tommy-sauce [ketchup] and voila! Great lunchtime snack. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Katie on May 07, 2007, 06:41:04 AM If you like mystery meat, give Scrapple a try. Don't read what's in it just fry it up nice and crispy, add a little ketchup, and enjoy.
P.S. Spam is celebrating a birthday! Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: JaseSF on May 07, 2007, 12:45:17 PM When I was a kid, I'd make a meal out of canned gravy and meatballs combined with Green Peas.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: DodgingGrunge on May 07, 2007, 01:06:18 PM People have pointed out to me that not everything makes a good sandwich. I couldn't disagree with that sentiment more strongly. I frequently make sandwiches out of anything leftover in the fridge: rice, pasta, soup, BBQ, etc. Bread is a wonderful invention. Haha. And as an added bonus, it makes everything something I can eat with my hands.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Derf on May 07, 2007, 09:54:40 PM Okay, I'm late to the discussion, but here's my contributions:
I love potato chips and chocolate. The chocolate can be in bar form or in a brownie or some such, but the salty/sweet combination that has been mentioned works for me. I rarely eat chocolate otherwise, but I tend to crave it with potato chips. One of my favorite "meals" is salty french fries and a vanilla malt. I guess that equates with the "fries with ice cream" that has been mentioned. I also like pepper on my fries. I never realized that was at all strange. Plus it keeps my wife and daughter (who hate pepper) from stealing my fries. I am particular about my fry dip, though. I prefer mayo on my fries overall (which I've heard is the norm in some parts of Europe), but not on McDonald's or Whataburger fries (I don't like anything on them). On Wendy's fries, I like ketchup. I've joined the younger crowd around here in eating my pizza with ranch dressing, if that's considered odd anymore. A woman I know from Brazil says the norm there is to eat pizza with ketchup. That just doesn't work for me. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Ash on May 08, 2007, 12:24:09 AM Speaking of pepper...
I put it on pizza all the time. It has to be coarse ground pepper. Not that dust stuff Susan mentioned. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Mr. DS on May 12, 2007, 10:44:09 AM I found out I had high cholesterol and actually changed to eating a well balanced diet. Still I cheat one day a week. Heres my oddities;
1.) I do the whole fries in mayo thing. 2.) Burgers I'm very particular on. Every restaurant is different. Example, i like a plain cheeseburger from Burger King and the ketchup can NOT be on the burger. However I dip the burger in ketchup from the little packets. Other places, mayo is a must. Only at those places though. 3.) I make my own hot pepper from dried hot chilis and I put that on a lot of stuff including fries. 4.) People make fun of me because I still enjoy fruit snacks. I play into it by getting the most ridiculous ones I can find. (Disney Princesses was the worst one I ever got). 5.) :smile: I am another person who hated my food being mixed: I'm with you there. 6.) Onions I LOVE on their own or in onion ring form but hardly with anything else. 7.) I like tons of black pepper in my chicken salad. To the point of sneezing uncontrobly when I make it. Thats all I can think of for now. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: hellbilly on December 10, 2009, 12:21:19 PM Interesting thread. I never tried fries with ice cream before but I will next time I go to McD or BK.
I don't really have that many strange eating habits: I like to dip potato chips in Nutella. I always puree tuna with a stick mixer. It tastes better creamy. I hardly ever drink soda without a straw. Green olives and artichokes are a must on my pizza. And I eat pesto with about everything, always have a few glasses stocked in the cupboard. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Psycho Circus on December 10, 2009, 01:47:55 PM My grandfather used to put mustard in porridge. :smile:
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Pilgermann on December 10, 2009, 02:46:16 PM I don't think I eat anything too weird, but I love to eat cottage cheese topped with applesauce and I sometimes sprinkle some cinnamon on it. I figure it's not too odd since people eat it with canned sliced peaches all the time.
Whenever I have Spam in my possession I've started to make what I refer to as a "Redneck Reuben". I fry up a few thin (by Spam standards) slices of Spam, toast some white or wheat bread, put the Spam on it with hot sauerkraut and I use "fancy sauce" instead of Thousand Island dressing. Swiss cheese is optional. I also eat Campbell's chicken noodle soup (and a couple other Campbell's products) in condensed form. I hate it with water added. When I was a kid I used to eat canned soup or pasta at room temperature. I'd just empty the can into a bowl and that was that. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Mr. DS on December 10, 2009, 08:35:55 PM I work with a chick who puts mayo on her pizza.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: El Misfit on December 10, 2009, 08:42:56 PM i get fish sticks, sautated green onions, roast beef, fish, chicken breast, more beef, onions, shrimp, and crawfish together in a stew :teddyr: yes, i can cook
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: retrorussell on December 12, 2009, 12:31:39 AM I almost always eat all the side dishes before tackling the main course. If I got a plate of chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, fries, Coke, etc. (I'm a big eater), even though I love chicken fried steak to death I will normally eat it last.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Jack on December 12, 2009, 08:15:40 AM I work with a chick who puts mayo on her pizza. Sour cream on pizza is awesome. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Javakoala on December 12, 2009, 08:51:05 AM I love putting mayo on chicken strips, but only if the chicken strips are still hot. Found that delightful combo while working in a convenience store that sold fried food.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: HappyGilmore on December 12, 2009, 10:21:08 PM Apparently, nobody else has dipped their Fries from Wendy's into their "Frosty's", that milkshake thing they got.
Also, nobody else apparently puts ketchup on pancakes. Or mustard on Tuna Fish. Or pickles on hoagies. Or pickles on anything, for that matter. Or ketchup on turkey and mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving/Christmas dinners.

The place served whole carp (baked: breaded and deep fried or blue: simmered in white wine vinegar stock), a Franconian delicacy of distinguished taste and to my understanding only to be devoured with both endive salad and potato salad and a slice of lemon. Apparently its a sacrilege to eat German carp otherwise. The Americans ordered carp baked, without salad, but with fries (carp is infested with bones and miserably fails as a "fish & chips" type of dish). When they got their food they asked for ketchup. And that is how they ate their carp, drowned in ketchup. That caused a bit of a scandal, with stunned and concerned locals walking to their table trying to explain the ketchup-loving Americans how to eat carp in a proper manner, but the Americans did not care. I'm still surprised they didn't chase them out the restaurant with pitchforks and torches :bouncegiggle: Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: Joe the Destroyer on December 13, 2009, 08:30:04 AM Mine tends to vary.

The place served whole carp (baked: breaded and deep fried or blue: simmered in white wine vinegar stock), a Franconian delicacy of distinguished taste and to my understanding only to be devoured with both endive salad and potato salad and a slice of lemon. Apparently its a sacrilege to eat German carp otherwise. The Americans ordered carp baked, without salad, but with fries (carp is invested with bones and miserably fails as a "fish & chips" type of dish). When they got their food they asked for ketchup. And that is how they ate their carp, drowned in ketchup. That caused a bit of a scandal, with stunned and concerned locals walking to their table trying to explain the ketchup-loving Americans how to eat carp in a proper manner, but the Americans did not care. I'm still surprised they didn't chase them out the restaurant with pitchforks and torches :bouncegiggle: Ummm...sadly, I put ketchup on any fish I eat...but I put ketchup on EVERYTHING...so I don't think that's typical of EVERY American...hopefully. But, the dish described sounds actually very good, so I probably wouldn't have asked for ketchup.

Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: claws on February 01, 2011, 01:56:45 AM People think its strange that I use Easy Cheese on my Hot Dogs. I think it's very convenient and less messy than shredded or sliced. Also, French Fried Onions on Hot Dogs is another must for me.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: ImaginaryFoot on February 01, 2011, 03:03:13 AM I picked this habit up from my grandmother, who raised 5 kids during The Great Depression- hot bacon grease poured onto homemade applesauce, with black pepper added to it. It is really good.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: retrorussell on February 01, 2011, 03:25:17 AM Maybe it's not all that strange but I like having a bowl or pan of country gravy to dip my fried chicken in, like a fry in ketchup.
Unconciously, I used to eat my hamburgers upside down. I would hold it in my hands and turn it upside down as it neared my mouth. Really don't know why I did this. Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: ImaginaryFoot on February 01, 2011, 03:37:43 AM My ex wife did that also retro. And for all of you who claim to eat ketchup on everything, ya'll aint got nothin on her. She put ketchup on birthday cakes, ice cream, Pop Tarts, whole dill pickles, donuts, the list goes on.
Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: ImaginaryFoot on February 01, 2011, 03:41:16 AM I am not exaggerating one bit when i say she went through at least 5 of those jumbo size bottles of ketchup a week.

Unconciously, I used to eat my hamburgers upside down. I would hold it in my hands and turn it upside down as it neared my mouth. Really don't know why I did this. Me too-I do it because the top bun is thicker-so when I take a big bite the mushy bottom wont open up and dump into me lap! Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: The Burgomaster on February 01, 2011, 09:18:36 AM When I was a little kid, I loved mustard sandwiches. Just mustard between two pieces of white bread. No cheese or anything. (I still eat mustard sandwiches, but not nearly as often as when I was a kid). One day someone from the school called my mother. They must have thought we were poor or something and needed financial assistance. My mother just said, "That's what he wants to eat." When I got a little older (probably around 12 or 13) I became a tuna junkie. I'd bring tuna sandwiches to school 3 or 4 days a week. No one thought tuna was weird.

Title: Re: Strange Eating Habits Post by: claws on June 09, 2014, 03:32:31 AM Maybe a bit strange but I see it as a slight boost in flavor: I mix one or two teaspoons pesto into my cottage cheese. Spread it on crunchy whole wheat rusk and sprinkle with chopped green olives. Delish!
