Post your odd food combinations.

[flvegan]

For some reason tonight, I'm thinking that my usual big dinner salad would be REALLY awesome with freshly cooked, hot tater tots.

Seriously, tater tot salad? What a weird craving. Wonder if I'm pregnant...

What's odd that sounds good to you, regardless of if you've actually eaten it or not?

[AlCzervik]

1. potato chips in a tuna sandwich, strawberry sauce on peppermint stick ice cream

salsa in macaroni and cheese and my all time favorite my Nana used to make for me, cream cheese and olive sandwich, sometimes with sardines, sometimes without.

[flvegan]

2. d00d, tuna and chips ain't odd.

I used to eat that ALL the damn time.

[AlCzervik]

4. gotta be in the sandwich though, am i right or am i right? and for it had to be Ruffles.

[flvegan]

10. Oh, hells yes

Bread
Mayo
Chips
Tuna
Bread

In that layered order.

[AlCzervik]

14. almost 3 months without meat and damn that tuna sandwich sounds really

ridiculously good right now.

[flvegan]

21. Tell me about it.

I'm already planning making faux egg salad this weekend to have on a sandwich with chips.

There's. No. Vegan. Tuna. Replacement.

:cry:

[LeftyMom]

41. They have some at Whole Paycheck here.

I should pick some up and see if it's any good.

[MonkeyFunk]

52. Have you ever had Tuno?

We a very good vegetarian restaurant here, and they used to have real tuna on the menu (they also used to do eggs). Then they went "pure" and got rid the tuna and eggs.

Last time I was there, I wanted my regular tuna sandwich and tomato soup. I noticed the menu said "tuno". I thought it was a typo. I asked the waiter, and he said "No, it's not a typo." and explained what tuno was. I passed.

I got home and googled it and found some veggie boards where EVERYBODY said it was just vile. Evidently it's some soy protein mush flavored with seaweed or something. I'm glad I didn't try it.

I sure do miss my tuna sammich with tomato soup, though :(

[youthere]

16. In the sandwich, but PRINGLES were the preferred chip...

Ruffles were for the peasants. Oh yeah..that's right...I went there.

[AlCzervik]

27. Heretic!

[youthere]

8. That was the only way I'd eat tuna salad...and the only way I'll eat egg salad now.

[mwdem]

3. I love fresh or frozrn corn with horsradish, butter, and fresh parsley.

..sounds weird, but it's very good!
on edit, answereing to OP

[AlCzervik]

6. i love horseradish and that sounds good.

[mwdem]

7. Try it with fresh corn on the cob, on the grill, wrapped in foil.

Somehow, it works.

[AlCzervik]

9. will do, looking forward to it now.

[flvegan]

Corn with horseradish?

That's going on the list. Sounds delish.

[MonkeyFunk]

53. that sounds damn good to me!

Ever put tabasco on corn on the cob? Nummy!

[Richardo]

61. My brothers and I used to put potato chips on our ham sandwiches as kids.

:9

Hey, I'm an adult - I could do that whenever I want to now. Why don't I? :dunce:

[KatyMan]

85. Are you from Philadelphia?

We did the same thing, and I still do sometimes ;). Was born in Philly and raised in Houston, tho.

[Richardo]

87. I'm from Pittsburgh, but grew up in SoCal...

...another Pittsburgh-born brother and I passed it down to our two younger brothers who were born in California.

[lost-in-nj]

5. nothing weird...

chips on a burger
butter and peanut butter on toast....

onions and peppers on pizza


god damn
I am fucking boring.......


lost

bleh

[flvegan]

24. Folks will think chips on a burger is weird.

Not me, but some folks.

I'm starting to think "chips on ***" is going to be good.

[lost-in-nj]

35. and this *** means what???

LOL


lost

[flvegan]

37. *** means "damn near anything"

IOW, chips on damn near anything is damn good eating to me.

[youthere]

11. Sauerkraut in mashed potatoes...

ketchup on macaroni and cheese, sauerkraut in macaroni and cheese, onion ring sandwiches....umm I think that's the extent of my weird food combos.

[flvegan]

15. I want to put onion rings on a burger.

Damn that sounds good.

[youthere]

17. Do you get the Boca better n'burgers?

Top it with onion rings and BBQ sauce. It's out of this world...but I don't know if it's vegan.

[flvegan]

18. Boca makes a vegan specific burger.

I'm thinking Amy's California Burgers with onion rings and tomato. I like the bbq sauce addition.

[LeftyMom]

22. Y'know what's real good?

HIW chick'n patties with bbq sauce, fresh red onions sliced real thin, some of those dried onion things from thanksgiving, and a good slice of fresh tomato. And some decent soy cheese, if any happens to be on hand.

[flvegan]

23. Dried onion things?

Which ones be those?

[youthere]

28. the ones that top the green bean casserole...

the ghastly mushroom soup infused green bean casserole...in fact, those crunchy onions are the only thing worth eating out of the whole mess.

[youthere]

25. That sounds good...

my whole family loves Chik'n patties. They prefer them over the actual chicken patties (like there's any actual chicken in them...but I digress). They all say the Chik'n patties taste more like chicken than the "real" stuff.

Okay, question..are commercial BBQ sauces normally vegan? I'm not a vegan, but it always surprises me the stuff that contains animal products, like marshmallows...who knew?

[flvegan]

30. Commercial bbq sauces, watch out for honey.

Otherwise a good number are vegan and widely commercially available.

[youthere]

32. ooh I just thought of another weird combo...

I like grilled sauerkraut sandwiches on rye bread with swiss cheese. When I ate meat, reubens were my favorite, so I still make them...without the meat, and I like them better. My husband thinks it's ghastly, but even when I ate the traditional reuben, I piled those things with so much sauerkraut, you couldn't really taste the meat anyway, so my meat-free ones really aren't much different.

[WCGreen]

45. Kraut and taters...

Sounds like deconstructed peirogies...

[youthere]

49. Pretty much..

if you serve it with noodles it's like a pierogie for lazy people.

[MonkeyFunk]

54. We often ate sauerkraut and mashed potatoes

as a kid. I loved it!

[youthere]

56. Me too..sort of a pickled version of Colcannon (sp). or Bubble and Squeak.

[YankeyMCC]

71. I've had that

in an English pub, mashed potatoes with sauerkraut mixed in...there's a name for it, 'bubbles and something' or something like that

on edit: it was very good

[grannylib]

12. peanut butter, jelly and cheese sandwiches

[Pakhet]

65. I like onions on my peanut butter and cheese sandwiches n/t

[LeftyMom]

13. Better not be.

We used birth control. You hussy. :grr:

[youthere]

33. This thread is useless without pictures.

[flvegan]

19. I also used to scoop my cherry slushee with Bugles chips.

I should be hauled off to Gitmo.

[Adsos Letter]

20. cheese and sweet-pickle sandwiches

[cordelia]

67. Oh, those are good.

What cheese do you prefer? Mayo?

Haven't had one in years. That'll change right quick!

[Adsos Letter]

74. Cheddar...and YES to the mayo...

my wife introduced me to them when we were dating, lo those many years ago... :D

:hi:

[Xipe Totec]

26. Red mole and lemonade

You know how some foods like artichokes change your perception of flavor?

Well, mole changes the taste of lemons to bitter.

Never, ever, serve mole with lemonade.

:puke:

[lightningandsnow]

29. Green Beans with mustard.

If you use a good grainy mustard... or even a good honey mustard... it's really yummy.

[triguy46]

31. The whole sweet and salty thing in all its variations

[hippywife]

34. Peanut butter and jelly

dipped in tomato soup is my real fav! I also used to eat them dipped in ketchup when I was a kid.

Tuna sammich and chips are good, too, but try those chips on a PB&J! Awesome!

Bacon or breakfast sausage on bread with grape or black raspberry jelly.

Chocolate and plain potato chips, Rolos and popcorn. Wendy's fries salted up and dipped in a Frosty.

:9

Re-edited to add: When I would go out to lunch with friends in Pittsburgh, they would order a salad that had strips of steak and french fries in it, so tater tots in a salad isn't so out there. :hi:

[BreweryYardRat]

36. Not weird, but apparently hard to find...

I've been looking for squid (maybe octopi, too) to cook up some calamari...and can't seem to find it anywhere in grocery stores, not even frozen.

[spindrifter]

38. Peanut butter and salsa on toasted bagels.

I prefer this with crunchy peanut butter, but creamy will do. This was a favorite dinner if I only had to feed myself.

[Skittles]

89. I am going to try that

yes INDEED

[Rosemary2205]

39. sourdough bread, miracle whip, sharp cheddar, canned pineapple - good eats

pineapple sandwiches - damn --- where's that can of pineapple...... :)

[cordelia]

68. I haven't had a

pineapple sandwich in years.

Some people look at you funny if you talk about them.

Never used cheese, though...

New recipe!

[1gobluedem]

40. Ketchup on mac and cheese

Although I thought that was perfectly normal until I went to college and horrified my friends the first time I had that in front of them.

[XemaSab]

75. Mac and cheese with tuna, salsa, and hot sauce

is the FOOD OF THE GODS. :9

[Roon]

42. I eat this every morning after my workout

Oatmeal, three egg whites, and a can of tuna..all mixed together..YUM!

[yellowdogintexas]

70. most particularly Wendy's, fries and a Frosty. nt

[quakerboy]

48. Milk and pretzels

or wintergreen tic tacs with a watermelon italian soda(try it. its a once in a lifetime experience. chew the tictac, then take a drink)

um....
not that weird, but Wendy's fries go damn good dunked in the frosty.

back in grade school my best friends favorite food was granulated sugar on dry toast.

[Fleshdancer]

50. when I was pregnant: baby carrots dipped in strawberry yogurt

I couldn't get enough of it...I think it was more about the textures than the flavor.

I can't think of any unusual combinations I have now though.

[fishwax]

51. I used to occasionally put peanut butter on my hamburger

because I don't like any of the traditional condiments. Haven't done that in years, though ...

[mikeytherat]

55. Peanut butter, banana and brown sugar sandwich - protein and potassium

with a few sugary carbs for energy (eat these all the time when skiing and hiking). They're tasty as all get out, too.

mikey_the_rat

[LanternWaste]

57. I call it 'Decadence Unleashed'

A can of chili (no beans), four chopped up hot dogs, a layer of b-b-q potato chips, followed off with a thick layer of shredded cheese. This should be routinely followed off with a root-beer float to enjoy the entire effect (which lasts much longer than meal itself).

I know what you're thinking as you throw your caloric-guilt to the winds... "Lantern-- this sounds too damn good to be real! Where can I order this fine, fine meal?" I'm right, huh? You know that's precisely what you're thinking (well, that and "where is the nearest bottle of Roll-Aids located?")!

Butt for some reason, all of the trendy, five-star eating establishments I've visited in an attempt to order this, 'Decadence Unleashed' is considered 'rather tacky' by the culinary-Nazi's... :shrug:

[joneschick]

58. fried apples and onions.

together. with any pork dish. well, that settles what's for dinner :hi:

[azmouse]

59. I put mustard in chicken noodle soup.

Try it. It's delicious.

[ironflange]

60. chicken coated in corn flake crumbs

im series

[Richardo]

62. Mixing peas in with mashed potatoes.

That was the only way one of my brothers would even eat peas when we were kids.

[Z_I_Peevey]

63. Cold chicken, strawberry preserves and jalepenos.

That's not weird enough for this crowd, but that's all I have right now.

[Greyskye]

64. Waffles with peanut butter, maple syrup and whipped cream

Sliced bananas are optional.

[Throd]

66. Grilled peanut butter, bacon and green onions on sourdough sandwich

[joneschick]

72. omg

WHY does that sound so totally wonderful? As a cook, I "taste things in my head" and that sounds wonderful. :hi:

[SKKY]

69. I like to dip peanut butter sandwhiches in my Chili...

[Thirtieschild]

73. Once ate ranch-style beans, pickles and white bread as a midnight snack

Looked at it and had the same thought - am I pregnant. I was.

covered in mayo and pickle relish.
