Weird Food Combinations

[ShesSoVaVaVoom]

I love ketchup and eggs. I's probably my favorite breskfast dish. Theres also banana ketchup which is very popular in the Phillipines. We eat it with lots of stuff.

I agree! Ketchup on eggs, ketchup on hashbrowns too, yum!

if I'm not feeling the ketchup, I'll get eggs over medium and mix the yolk on the hashbrowns.

Pankcakes + syrup + hot sauce = Awesome.

A combination of any cheese,.....any jam,......on any bread.

One of my favorite lunches when I was a kid included a Cream-cheese & grape jelly sandwich, sounds nasty but it's not. I thought I was the only one in the world that would eat such an unusual combination.
However; last year while watching a show on the Food Network called "Ham on the Steet", the host set up a stand out on a street corner and stocked it with several different cheeses, breads, and jams,...labeling each selection with a number. He then put numbered pieces of paper in each of three baskets that he had marked "Cheese", "Bread", and "Jam".
Stopping persons who happend to walk by he told them that any sandwich which included; bread, cheese and jelly was delicious,....challenging them to draw a number from each of the baskets and to taste the combination they had selected.

All were quite surprised to find their sandwiches where really very good, whether it was a blue-cheese and apple jelly on rye bread or a Swiss-cheese and strawberry jam on Italian bread.

This may not be weird enough for this thread, but if someone were to try it I would take bets that you love it. Next time you make a peach cobbler, put one cup of blue berries in it. Then just wait and see.

Another favourite is pasta with sauce, chilli, canned tuna and herbs.

that's not weird at all. i always eat that.

My unit leader / boss put catsup on his eggs, toast, hashbrowns, hell you name it. What is that with people putting catsup on eggs?

I rarely ate eggs (outside of hard-boiled), until a friend showed me tabasco sauce on them. Tabasco sauce will tear me apart later, so I use catsup. Now I like all sorts of eggs. . . . Not all of them with catsup, though.

As far as mustard goes, we lovers must stick together. It's been years, but I used to spread a bit of mustard on a slice of bread and have myself a mustard sandwich. I would also do the same with sugar and bread.

My German grandmother used to make sauerkraut with an egg dropped in and then topped with sour cream. Served with rye toast. I can't remember the name she had for it...

I will pretty much make anything into an omelet. I like sauerkraut and spam but I've found that if you brown the leftover white rice from last nights Chinese take out and add a couple eggs (and the rest of the leftovers) it makes for a fine breakfast. That sour cream has me salivating like Pavlov's dog.

Aaah, it's wonderful to know I'm not the only looney out there!!

Regarding eggs with ketchup/tomato sauce/catsup...I actually think they're pretty nice. Not what I'd eat all the time, but they taste good.

 

[Lady Jessica]

I like ketchup with hash browns and tater tots.

And peanut butter and oreos... Turkey and olives... peanut butter banana strawberry-jam sandwiches... hmm... olive and pepperoni pizza.

I think that's all. If those are weird enough! lol

"Breakfast rice bubbles with Curry"

Seems the recipe involves heating some oil in a frypan till it begins to smoke turn off the heat, ad rice bubbles breakfast cereal and stir well, add salt and pepper and a teaspoon of curry powder, add beer nuts or cashews, stir through, alow to go cold and serve with a glass of beer.

told to me by a chum in his 80's who learnt the recipe back in the 1950's whilst in the Royal navy

I dont get you. What is so looney about eating pasta with sauce and tuna?
I'm trying hard to find how it can be weird... but i can't.

 

[Incorporeal13]

Hmm.
I think my favorite ones have always been:
Peanut Butter + Maple Syrup. No bread. Eat from bowl.
Bread + Butter + Sugar + Brown Sugar. Microwaved. I don't know why, I've done it since I was a kid...
Potato Chips + Potato salad. That started when I was pregnant and probably isn't very weird... but how can anyone go wrong with tons of potatoes?
Anything salty in chocolate shakes. Typical.
When I was a kid I liked Broccoli and chocolate. If I remember correctly, I got the idea from some product that came out that combined chocolate and vegetable to encourage kids to eat their veggies.
I also used to have a friend that ate chocolate chip cookies and ketchup.

When I tell most people I add canned tuna to my pasta they look at me as if I just said I added flash-fried tarantulas.

I just had horrible flashbacks. When I was in the Army we sat around while on Exercise and tried to come up with the worst combination from a ration pack. Beside the luncheon meat type 2 which is bully beef by a new name and widely accepted that top breeders recommend it, the worst thing we came up with was curried tinned two fruits.

 

[Shangas]

Not quite a food combination, but certainly weird.

When I was in school, we had a member of staff who was a former soldier. He was in the Australian SAS during Vietnam and when I was in school, he headed the cadet unit.

Aaaanyway, long story short, while in Vietnam with his mates, they had a pet dog which was their little mascot. One night around camp, they discovered that their mascot was missing. Their Vietnamese hosts surprised their Australian comrades with a barbeque. It wasn't until they'd finished eating that the soldiers asked:

"So what was the meat?"

The answer given was that the Vietnamese had found a dog wandering around the camp and had killed it for food. A few more questions revealed that the soldiers had just had their pet dog for dinner.

my mom buys mustard and uses it as a dressing for darn near everything! mustard on tofu, when I was growing up her favorite was hot hot salsa on a slice of bread.

as for pizza, I like thin crust with easy sause, pineapple, and extra black olives

during jr. high a friend showed me the glory of toasted bread with melted butter and heaps of sugar and cinnamon

is jasmine rice with lightly salted peanuts and shredded cheese odd?

 

[Brooksie]

I know someone else mentioned Fritos and melted chocolate, I have to agree this is a wonderful combination... the sweet & the salty, yum!

I like frenches mustard on my toasted cheese sandwiches (I don't like frenches mustard on anything else - I prefer a gourmet mustard for other things).

My grandma used to take lettuce, vinegar, and sugar then roll it up and eat it. She had me try it and I liked it, she would make it for me when I would come to visit (it was like sweet and sour lettuce), she passed away when I was nine and I have never had it since, so it has been over 30 years.

Cream cheese and jelly or jam actually sounds really good, I think raspberry jam would be most excellent.

Ok Shangas, have it your way! I give up! :deadhorse

French fries dipped in chocolate milkshake.
