QOTD: What is a strange food item you eat or combination of foods you eat that most people think is strange?

Honestly have no idea. I’m not very adventurous as an eater anyways.

ATTQOTD:

Dogs- I ran with my Boston when he was younger. Only in the winter, and i was even slower then so it was more of a me running- him walking sort of thing, but he really loved it. He died a couple months ago at twelve years old, and he had slowed down quite a bit in the years before that. I'm sorry for your loss, @camaker .

Food- I'm pretty open minded with respect to food, but i do like a turkey sandwich with mustard and sour cream and onion chips on it, more chips on the side. Sounds weirder when you write it down!

ATTQOTD: oven roasted red potatoes dipped in Hellmann’s mayo.

ATTQOTD: I might win. My DH thinks I am nuts. I eat this when he is out of town for work. Braunschweiger (liver sausage) on crackers with dill relish.

ATTQOTD: I will eat just about anything... and if I don’t like it, it becomes a challenge to see if I can like it lol. However I’ve come up with some wacky combos over the years... like a box of pasta, hot sauce, and mustard as a meal(I was a teenager). I’ve had some others but they’re not coming to mind... although my coworkers think some of my current food is strange

Food- it’s been awhile since I’ve made one but I’m always up for a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Or peanut butter and marshmallow fluff if I’m leaning sweet! And since we’re going camping today I’ll add s’mores burritos which is a flour tortilla filled with peanut butter and marshmallows and chocolate chips and cooked over the fire. Not totally weird but not too common.

ATTQOTD: Not so much strange as....well, maybe just regional.....2 Shredded Wheat (the big biscuits) on a plate, softened with boiling water (pour over and drain) and slathered with butter.

I have also been known, mostly in the past, to make any of the following on a whim to just eat: bread stuffing, buttercream frosting.

Fun Friday QOTD: What is a strange food item you eat or combination of foods you eat that most people think is strange?

I am usually game to try anything (which my colleagues in grad school and later in Japan found great joy in) and have a short list of things I will not eat again (eyes of any kind, most fermented to the point of slime vegetables, and sea urchin- I do not do slimy things). My husband is repulsed that my favorite snack is creamy jif peanut butter off of a spoon, and he is horrified that I have passed this onto our kids. I feel he is repulsion is cultural and he needs to move on but he cannot. So this would be the thing I am mocked/criticized for most often.
The food I ate as a kid and a poor student that I still love and repulses everyone who has seen me eat it is an envelope of Knoor Noodles (preferably the alfredo but most of them will do) with a can of tuna mixed in. It is a cheap, small portion approximation of the dreaded creamy casseroles I had as a child at church potlucks.
Also, Kogel's pickled bologna.
Also, I now want a s'more burrito. and I am going to see if I can approximate it in a pie iron for bench marking purposes.

ATTQOTD: I love cottage cheese with thousand island dressing (bonus points if you have some club cracks on the side!). My dad eats it this way and now I love it too.
In Nebraska, chili is traditionally served with cinnamon rolls as the side (instead of something like cornbread). It doesn't seem weird to me, but I guess it does to others.

This seems like it would be similar to cream of wheat but with actual texture!

That’s a great question, I’ll try just about anything and have had some odd dishes but there are a couple I used to eat a lot that I never thought twice about and others just shook their heads
1. Cold noodles with ketchup, just about any pasta will do but egg noodles that sit in the frig for a day are the best
2. Bologna diced (not sliced) in vinegar, onions, and pepper. Let it sit in the frig a few days to soak in the flavor and enjoy

ATTFFQOTD: Y'all are weird. Wow. I am a super picky eater so not many strange combos on my side. But I do love dipping my fries into my Frosty (chocolate only).

Also, one of my go-to pizza combos is pepperoni and pineapple. Don't @ me.

 

[Jules76126]

ATTFFQOTD: I am a picky eater so most stuff I eat is pretty normal. Although I am one of those weird people who doesn't like my food to touch on the plate. I gag when I see people mix things together like corn or peas into their mash potatoes

 

[PrincessV]

ATYQOTD: My cat's nickname is Scuderia because she runs like a Ferrari: faster than fast in the straights but can't turn without losing her back end. The only running we do together is up and down my long interior hallway.

ATTQOTD: Pizza dipped in blue cheese dressing. At WDW, I like QS places that have ketchup, BBQ sauce, and ranch dressing: I get one of each for dipping my fries.

 

[Professor_Cookie]

Attqotd: I’m a chef so i go from dessert to savory back to dessert with no issues. ‘Cause I have to taste stuff.

Something people think is really weird, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why, is that I almost never put ice in my drinks. The soda is already cold and I don’t keep drinks around long enough to get warm. I put away a lot of fluids.

But I do love dipping my fries into my Frosty (chocolate only).

I will continue to believe that a Frosty IS chocolate. Any other flavor can be delicious, but not a Frosty.

Preach. When they are like "chocolate or vanilla" I reply "a Frosty". Haha.

I’m gonna have to try that cinnamon roll thing. I don’t think it’s too far off from cornbread with honey butter.

ATTQOTD: I don't know how strange they really are, but I have two that seem to really bug people.

First off, I love black pudding and white pudding from Ireland. This grosses a lot of people out.

Second, I grew up flounder gigging with my father in the salt marshes of Eastern NC. Our family standard was to fry the flounder that we had caught and have it with grits. Great combination!

I had them while I was in Ireland, and while I didn’t hate them, I didn’t love them. I do love Irish bacon, though, and just bought a pork loin for work that I am going to turn into it.
