Weird stuff you eat.

[Hawkzombie]

We all have things we like to eat that are odd for others. Fries dipped in chocolate shakes, potato chips on sandwiches, deep fried twinkies, etc.

Right now one of my faves is taking sandwiches and replacing lettuce with...KIMCHI. So fucking delicious and VERY tasty.


So what are some odd concoctions you CoGers enjoy?

[CappinCanuck]

I have nothing like that... although I really enjoy liver and gizzards and not a lot of other people do.

[Troggles]

I put french fries on my tenderloins. Good shit.

[Thanasimos]

Yesterday's lunch, listed top to bottom:

Bread
nutella
honey
Golden Delicious apple slices (about 3/4ths of a large apple)
Peanut butter
Bread
Nutella
Banana (quartered)
Peanut butter
bread.

In short: Yes.

An extra fun one: I put mashed potatoes and french fries on burgers; I consider the ultimate burger to be:

Top bun
lettuce
french fries // pressed into the mashed potatoes below
mashed potatoes // surrounded by the wall of pickle wedges
pickle wedges
bacon
cheese
patty
bottom bun.

[Hawkzombie]

Dude...how is your mouth not sealed shut forever after that?!?

[TheKeck]

I remember at my last job making egg salad sandwiches loaded down with horse radish sauce and jalapenos. Heaven, my good sirs. Heaven.

[Hawkzombie]

I don't like egg salad, but that sounds like it would be REALLY good in chicken salad.

[Thanasimos]

As an addendum, I recommend adding potatoes to everything. Indeed, I'll be trying a repeat of the first listed sandwich on potato bread after I next go to the market.

[Hawkzombie]

Mashed potatoes actually sounds really good on a burger and I dunno why.

[TheKeck]

I don't like egg salad, but that sounds like it would be REALLY good in chicken salad.
Bleh, I'll stick with my egg. ;)

Is this really weird? I absolutely must have strawberry jam on my hash brown patties.

[Troggles]

Mashed potatoes actually sounds really good on a burger and I dunno why.

Friends and I tried it once. It wasn't as great as it sounds. We also tried burgers with macaroni and cheese and it was DELICIOUS.

[Thanasimos]

Mashed potatoes actually sounds really good on a burger and I dunno why.

Well, think of all the things that will go into a good stew: Beef, potato, assorted vegetables, spices, bread, and boiling water. A burger with mashed potatoes on it is just a little boiling water shy of a good stew.

[DeathtollWRX]

I ate four balut today.

Just the egg part not the actual bird. I have my wife prepare it for me so I don't have to see the bird part.

Tastes like a super hard boiled egg on steroids.

do a google search :)

[johnperkins21]

How is putting chips on a sandwich weird? Is there really a person out there who didn't at one point put Doritos on their pb&j?

I like to dip my french fries in mayonnaise. Not sure how weird that is though.

Let's see, I also put hot sauce (preferably Cholula (http://www.cholula.com/)) on my pizza and potato chips.

[EternalGamer]

Oh man, I never thought to put kimchi on sandwiches. I'm buying some kimchee tomorrow.

[boratika]

Not weird in a local context, but people who don't live in Australia or New Zealand just aren't going to understand:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/141/347557947_06fdcaa48d.jpg

Though I eat it on crumpets, which is apparently unusual, but I can't understand why. Also crumpets might seem weird to a lot of you.

[Cactaur]

<Raises Hand.>

C'mon that clash of textures just doesn't work.

[TheEpicOfTyler]

I never did the chips on a sandwich thing until after I stopped eating meat. I need something unhealthy in that veggie sandwich, afterall. Really, I just missed having a... salty taste in it? I don't know if that's a good descriptor, I rarely talk about food in such terms.

...Isn't that cheating though? :p

Oh man, I never thought to put kimchi on sandwiches. I'm buying some kimchee tomorrow.

Yeah, you can thank my son for that. He's not even four and LOVES the stuff. So I was getting myself some and was gonna make him a ham and cheese sandwich. So what does he do?

I want some dad!
"You sure? it's spicy"
Yeah! *eats it* YUM! I want it on my sandwich.
"What, really?"
Yeah. I want ham. And cheese. And Mustard. And That. *Points to the Jar*

...Ok.

So I try it myself after he literally WOLFED it down. Really fucking good. Adds a perfect crispy to the sandwich like fresh lettuce, wasn't as watery as I feared it might be (some kimchi can be) and the flavor was awesome with turkey.


And as for chips...I've never thought of putting them on anything BUT a meat sandwich or a burger :p...so that's why PB&J is weird to me.

[Vandabo]

I don't think it's that weird, because it's a well known combo, but I love to eat crackers with peanut butter and chocolate chips on them. Just about any kind of cracker, or bread, will do.

I also like taking crackers, especially wheat thins, and putting some easy cheese on each one and sticking a slice of vienna sausage on top, or a bit of potted meat or chicken spread. It's like white trash hors d'oeurves, especially if you use American easy cheese.

[Hawkzombie]

Those are completely white trash hors d'oeurves

[Savok]

Same here on Vegemite, though it's rare I go near crumpets.

Another alien concept to everyone else, beets on burgers.

I tried that shit once. Once was enough. Ugh.

[Hawkzombie]

Ever since Savok told me about that I've been wanting to try beets on my burgers

[Savok]

I tried that shit once. Once was enough. Ugh.
Needs to be on piping hot toast, anything else is an acquired taste.

[BigJonno]

Mashed potato doesn't go well in burgers. I just don't think it tastes good with bread, YMMV.

My favourite weird thing is making a toastie with leftover keema rice and bacon. It was one of those random, "hey, let's see what this tastes like" moments and it was delicious.

[biosc1]

This will sound really gross and I apologize for even mentioning it, but sometimes I'll stoop to the lowest of lows and eat...



...pancakes. Yes, I know, they are waffles poor poor mentally unstable cousin, but on occasion, I have no choice but to eat one...if I'm in a poor part of the country with no Waffle Houses ;)

[roboninja]

Toasted Peanut Butter & Cheddar Cheese sandwich. So good.

I did a search and wish I didn't. It's like eating an abortion.

[Vulture]

in my bachelor days i used to eat hotdog and egg sandwiches with black coffee. mostly for dinner.

now the weirdest thing i eat is my wife's favorite meal. sauerkraut and meatballs, served on mashed potatoes usually.

i also like grilled striped bass slathered in caesar salad dressing.

[Karak]

Pork rind nachos. Yep.
The pork rinds are about 1/2 the fat of chips, are crispier and built like little scoopes. I get the hot spicy kind, shred chicken and sometimes hamburger, onions, green peppers and cheese.

Sounds HORRID.
Yet I have turned every single person who has tried them to the darkside.

[Siraris]

I dip Ritz crackers in Newman's Own Italian Sausage and Peppers sauce (http://www.newmansown.com/product_detail.aspx?productid=35). It's UNBELIEVABLE and it caused me to eat an entire sleeve of Ritz once without even realizing it.

I also like Ketchup on my Mac and Cheese

Isn't that the same as Marmite? If so, then eating it on crumpets isn't as strange as you think... over in England.

And something that annoys me. Why am I strange for eating Orange Juice and sugar on Pancakes, when the person accusing me likes Lemon Juice and sugar on pancakes? WTF? What's wrong with that??

[Generation ABXY]

And something that annoys me. Why am I strange for eating Orange Juice and sugar on Pancakes, when the person accusing me likes Lemon Juice and sugar on pancakes? WTF? What's wrong with that??

If it's any consolation, I think you're both strange, love. ;) Seriously, I've never heard of such a thing.

It's not the same as Marmite. Similar stuff, but it tastes completely different.

[Panthera]

Some people consider poutine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine) weird.

They don't know what they're missing.

[BigJonno]

If it's any consolation, I think you're both strange, love. ;) Seriously, I've never heard of such a thing.

I'm guessing that she's talking about the big, thin pancakes that we have over here on Shrove Tuesday, not the smaller, thicker American kind. They're traditionally served with lemon juice and sugar, although orange juice is damn tasty too.

[Generation ABXY]

Ah. Still sounds a little weird to me, but I'll grant she and I may be talking about two different things.

[Savok]

Vegemite's its own little thing, it's effectively black salt. The classic stuff could peel the skin off your gums, they've nerfed it over the past few decades of course.

I noticed tonight the picture of it spread on the jar is waaaaay too much, so if when trying it you've been following what the jar says, you've been doing it wrong. If you can no longer see the toast underneath, you've put too much on, this isn't peanut butter, more is not at all better. Really you want to smear it on.

That's about the upper limit (http://www.2beerguys.com/images/vegemite.jpg), you can see the heat has melted everything nicely too. While this is doing it completely wrong (http://lh3.ggpht.com/_tpq91pcqIw8/SjtH0O3fIVI/AAAAAAAADPw/3oWP9k7GJzc/Vegemite.jpg).

[biosc1]

Some people consider poutine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine) weird.

It's not weird...just dangerously unhealthy if eaten often with Guinness ;)

I only heard of it for the first time a few days ago thanks to this thread and I really, really want some.

We do have something similar in the UK, except we tend to replace the curds with pie. Preferably steak. :D

[Serapth]

1/4'ed dill pickles wrapped in summer sausage. Fucking yum.

[Karak]

1/4'ed dill pickles wrapped in summer sausage. Fucking yum.

I too like this, but usually use sandwhich meats and cream cheese in them. Wrap up the little pickle and go to town...that sounded a bit like a porn term sorry.

[boratika]

Holy wall of multiquote, Batman!

I like to dip my french fries in mayonnaise. Not sure how weird that is though.

I'm pretty sure that's how they do it in the fries' native land.

Another alien concept to everyone else, beets on burgers.

I didn't even think of that one, on account of it just seems weird to not have that on the menu.

I tried that shit once. Once was enough. Ugh.

Yeah, see that's exactly what I was talking about. Crazy rest of the world.

Ever since Savok told me about that I've been wanting to try beets on my burgers

Do it! DO IT!

Also, throw a fried egg in there.

I did a search and wish I didn't. It's like eating an abortion.

Speaking of weird things I eat...



What? It's just going to waste otherwise. Too far?

Isn't that the same as Marmite? If so, then eating it on crumpets isn't as strange as you think... over in England.

Kinda. Just imagine marmite if it was immensely more awesome.

I think, though, that the reason people don't tend to eat it on crumpets, is that it is pretty hard to spread it without getting build up in the holes. And for most, any more than a translucent smear is a ticket to pain-town.

And something that annoys me. Why am I strange for eating Orange Juice and sugar on Pancakes, when the person accusing me likes Lemon Juice and sugar on pancakes? WTF? What's wrong with that??

Nothing. It is delicious. Although I'm quite partial to an orange/lemon juice mix on them.

Some people consider poutine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine) weird.

They don't know what they're missing.

I know what I'm missing since I stopped eating poutine: 7kg/15.5lbs


On the other hand, I'm missing out on poutine.:(

I noticed tonight the picture of it spread on the jar is waaaaay too much, so if when trying it you've been following what the jar says, you've been doing it wrong. If you can no longer see the toast underneath, you've put too much on, this isn't peanut butter, more is not at all better. Really you want to smear it on.

I'm a bit odd in this regard. I feel Vegemite is like lipstick, you really got to cake it on there.

I usually get horrified stares from any onlookers though.

[BigJonno]

Because of the Vegemite or the lipstick?

Waaaaay too easy.

Fried eggs on hamburgers is gospel. End of story.

[Kielaran]

now the weirdest thing i eat is my wife's favorite meal. sauerkraut and meatballs, served on mashed potatoes usually.

That actually sounds really good.

As for someone living in Pittsburgh, everyone who visits tells me that it is weird to find most sandwiches and salads come with french fries on them. Why it's weird I will never know.

Also when I was in high school I worked at KFC. I loved mixing the cole slaw and mashed potatoes and gravy together.

Only available in the rugged hills of the Carolinas, I give you Livermush.

[Generation ABXY]

Isn't that scrapple?

It's similar but it's not.

[Hawkzombie]

http://www.yomomma.com/Writings/cantidoon/scrappy.jpg

...ohwait.

[Sandman]

The main thing that sets Livermush apart from Scrapple is that Livermush has to have liver, Scrapple could just be any part of the pig. Therefore, Livermush is by definition a better variation of Scrapple. :)

You people eat some fucked up shit.

[Kelegacy]

Some people consider poutine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poutine) weird.

I had never heard of poutine until about a week ago while watching Three Sheets on Travel Channel. Looked pretty good. Lots of people cover their fries in gravy, so adding cheese just makes it sound even better.

[Scaryfaced]

Raw ground beef rolled into balls with a little bit of table salt on it. Absolutely delicious.

[Savok]

I'm a bit odd in this regard. I feel Vegemite is like lipstick, you really got to cake it on there.

Well yes, but think of someone who's never had it before. It's like guzzling a bottle of tabasco sauce as your first experience with spicy food.

Ah. Never been fond of liver, really, so chances are I wouldn't like it as much as I do Scrapple.

[Sandman]

Livermush is awesome and if you don't know what's in it, (most of the kids who eat it don't) it's often considered better than sausage because its kinda lighter textured or softer and can be eaten in the same ways. And even when you do know what is in it once you've tried it you'll forget.

[Hawkzombie]

Uh...I'm gonna be the first to say the raw GROUND beef thing is actually dangerous. Raw steak is sometimes ok, depending on how it's prepared, but ground beef can have SO many contaminants in it simply from the grinding process it's insane.

You are a brave, brave man, I'll tell ya that much...

[diablopath]

Fried eggs on hamburgers is gospel. End of story.

There's a restaurant here that does that. My friend had them last week, while I ate a less thrilling burger. Next time we hit that place up, I'll be trying it.

I can't really think of anything weird that we do. I'll pay closer attention to my eating habits and bring updates.

[Scaryfaced]

I've been eating raw ground beef since I was...I'd say 5, perhaps? I've yet to ever contract any kind of food poisoning from it. If you get lean, freshly ground beef from any clean, well stocked grocery store, the chances of you ever getting sick are probably less than any fast food joint you've driven through.

And don't knock it until you try it. It's suprisingly good and the texture's actually kinda pleasing. A little mushy, a little fatty, a little salty. Strange, but yummy.

Food War Journal Day 7 - Today I overtook the insurgents in the back of the fridge. Pickled eggs are good with dill sauce and strawberry jam. But only once. Never again.

[Wally]

I dont eat this one but my father does... pickled herrings. The smell alone is terrible.

[SilentScreams]

Toast one side of a slice of bread.
Slice a banana onto the other side.
Layer cheese over the top of the banana.
Toast that side so the cheese melts (Worcester sauce optional but recommended).
Taste Heaven.

I think that's just about the weirdest thing I eat, although peanut butter & "jelly" (it's called jam, dammit) is usually considered weird over here and I love it.

I see them cook carpacio on Iron Chef all the time, but my mother has ingrained the fear of raw meat too deeply into my psyche to ever try it. That, and when my burgers are too rare, I feel almost ill eating it. Whether that's a fear of the raw meat, or an actual dislike of the flavor/texture, I guess I won't ever know.

My friend Mark likes his steak raw, and would probably eat it completely raw, if most restaurants didn't insist on at least cooking the outside.

I love escargot. Is that weird?

[EternalGamer]

One that I grew up with but others think is weird:

Chocolate Gravy. You simply take cocoa, sugar, a little vanilla, and whole milk and heat it on the stove until it thickens. Serve over homemade biscuits. I think it is pretty common, but most of my friends growing up thought it sounded weird, until they spent the night at my house and my mother made it the next morning. From then they would always ask if my Mom would make that chocolate gravy stuff.

Here is another slightly weird combination:

fresh sliced (not pickled!) Jalepenos and M&Ms. A Korean friend of mine introduced me to that one in college.

Also, althought not exactly weird, I love wasabi peas.

[Generation ABXY]

[Hawkzombie]

Kippered Herrings are better IMO. So fucking good.

I think that's just about the weirdest thing I eat, although peanut butter & "jelly" (it's called jam, dammit) is usually considered weird over here and I love it.

There's actually a distinction between the two. Jams will usually have bits of the fruit including seeds, and be a much more heavily viscous-like liquid/solid almost (If you really tried, some could even be slowly poured onto the bread). Jelly is more like gelatin, and is completely strained of all fruit bits and seeds.

And knowing is half the battle.


That chocolate gravy actually sounds really fucking good...especially over buttermilk biscuits or icecream...anything desert-ish actually.

I think you're Korean friend was merely trying to make you choke; there's no way that's good.

"Hey, who wants to fuck with the white guy?"

[Siraris]

You'd be surprised. I think that sounds delicious. Sweet and salty. Yum.

[Hawkzombie]

Uh...hate to burst your bubble, but jalapenos aren't salty :p

[SilentScreams]

Jalapenos are little landmines of spice that seem to find their way into every damn thing I eat. I hate spicy food so much.

Also, I had no idea there was a difference between jelly and jam. I always just assumed it was Americans being American. :)

1. I'm making choclate gravy the next time I cook breakfast.

2. Chocolate covered jalepenos are awesome. Take it to the next level man!

For mine, I don't think I regularly eat anything weird, although mexican lasgna has gotten a few "huh?" looks. It is awesome, layers of tortillas with meats, rice, beans, peppers, spices, cheese and topped with sour cream, guacamole, olives and more cheese. Delicious.

Another good but weird combo? Chocolate covered potato chips. VERY tasty.

[EternalGamer]

1. I'm making choclate gravy the next time I cook breakfast.

.


I have my mother's proportions somewhere, but I haven't made it in a while. However, this recipe looks pretty similar to the ratios I recall:

http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1726,148184-229197,00.html

I think around one to two cap fulls of vanilla and a couple of pats of butter and that recipe would come pretty close (though she cooked for a catering business for over twenty years, I don't think my mother never actually measured anything a day in her life).

[EternalGamer]

Also, I had no idea there was a difference between jelly and jam. I always just assumed it was Americans being American. :)

It's not just an American thing. Though in most of Europe, I believe what we call "jam" is just revered to as "preserves."

Jelly is just a poor man's jam.

[Housemixer]

I finally found something most would consider weird: Mettbrötchen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mett) = minced pork on a bread roll, absolutely delicious! For most of my life I thought this was disgusting until I tried some after having a few drinks too many when I was about 23 years old. The weird part: eating 1 or 2 Mettbröchen for breakfast with a diet Red Bull afterwards, there's just something about the salty minced pork and onions flavor mixed with the atrociously sweet taste of Red Bull.

[Hawkzombie]

Yeah, preserves and jam are very easily interchangeable. However, preserves will generally have more 'whole' fruits, and include things like peaches and pears...fruits no easily/more readily made into jams.

Yes, my mother used to can everything when I was kid...why? :p

[BigJonno]

For mine, I don't think I regularly eat anything weird, although mexican lasgna has gotten a few "huh?" looks. It is awesome, layers of tortillas with meats, rice, beans, peppers, spices, cheese and topped with sour cream, guacamole, olives and more cheese. Delicious.

I love that kind of thing! One of my creations was Indian pizza. A nice chicken tikka masala, spread over a nan bread, sprinkled with cheese and then grilled until the cheese was browning.

[Siraris]

Uh...hate to burst your bubble, but jalapenos aren't salty :p

Ever had a jalapeno popper? They are salty. Jalapeno poppers are deep fried jalapenos. THUS I WIN!

And I fail at reading comprehension. I thought it said "Fried", not fresh.

Fresh jalapenos and M&M's? That's disgusting.

[resikel]

Chicken feet is one of the weirder food that I've eaten...once only.

http://www.palacechinese.com.au/images/big/b_Chicken_Feet.JPG

[EternalGamer]

Yeah, in order of superiority I'd say it goes:

Preserves >>>>>>> Jam >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jelly

[EternalGamer]

I've had chicken feet at dim sum restaurants. I can't say I was all that fond of them. They just tasted like messy gummy worms.

[BigJonno]

Jam and jelly are both kinds of preserves. Personally, I'd say conserves are the king of preservers. Found a good Wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conserve_(condiment)#Conserves) on the different kinds. The main difference between jam and American jelly is that jam is made with fruit and jelly with fruit juice.

[Vandabo]

One thing my family eats all the time for breakfast is Malt o Meal or Cream of Wheat with Nestle Quick added in. It's pretty damn good, although I sometimes just can't stomach it for some reason.

[Generation ABXY]

Chicken feet? I'm not sure I could even try that once...

[EternalGamer]

Chicken feet? I'm not sure I could even try that once...

Thee isn't much there to eat. And what is there is just gummy. I actuallt didnt know what it was at first until I recognized the shape and texture.

[shunoshi]

I'll eat nearly anything that's pickled. Multitudes of fish (herring, pike, etc.) and I'm a sucker for pickled eggs. I also love canned smoked oysters, sardines (especially in hot mustard), and kipper snacks. No one can argue that I'm not Minnesotan. ;)

One thing my family eats all the time for breakfast is Malt o Meal or Cream of Wheat with Nestle Quick added in. It's pretty damn good, although I sometimes just can't stomach it for some reason.

Orange juice and vanilla ice cream for me. You have to stir them up with a spoon so it mixes together. it ends up looking weird but it's amazing in the summer time.

Menudo. Is that weird enough? Tripe is just one of the finest fucking things on earth... when it's been boiled until it's all soft and slimy, and it falls apart as you suck it through your teeth.

It's not just an American thing. Though in most of Europe, I believe what we call "jam" is just revered to as "preserves."

Jelly is just a poor man's jam.

Jelly is nasty. Preserves/jam are all I will use on a sandwich. It's like jello you spread on sandwhich or something

Jelly is what you put on toast, though I would still have preserves.

Though jelly has it's uses. Some people put that in a crock as part of a "little smokies" weiner recipe. You wouldn't know it though, as I've never tasted the jelly.

Has anyone else ever had "pepper jelly"? It's exactly like it sounds. It is a jelly with a spicy subtext, probably red pepper. I've never seen it in stores. It's a little old church lady production. I sorta dig it on toast. But it is my only "jelly" exception.

My ex's step father uses grape jelly in is crock when he makes meatballs. So f'ing good, I swear. And you can't taste it one bit.

If it's leathery, they didn't boil it long enough. It should be on the heat all day, and so soft it's almost jelly like... same way you treat all tough meats. And as for noduled, tripe has a honeycomb texture on one side and a slightly bumpy surface on the other. If that's noduled to you, then so be it.

Jesus fucking christ... not to be edible; to be soft and tender. If that bothers you, never eat stew again.

[Hawkzombie]

Pretty much, Spectre :p

If you like it, awesome...but I just can't bring myself to. And I find boiling in plain water is a waste. It saps all the flavor out of it and leaves a bland, flavorless and almost texture-less hunk of meat. Dunno about Tripe though, so I won't presume.

Smoking is far different, as it adds flavor to the meat, and it doesn't ruin the texture or the flavor of the meat itself. If anything it enhances it. Boiling to me just removes a lot. And stew is different too as it's not just things boiling in plain water, but all together and with spices, etc.

I didn't mean to dump on you, honestly. I mean hell, I've eaten some weird shit in my day and loved it. So I'm not one to judge.

And edible to me, in that sense, simply meant 'as it should be enjoyed'....i think of boiled meats I ate as a kid, and I haven't liked ANYTHING boiled :p

[Spectre-7]

Who said plain water? Cause, ya know, menudo is totally boiled in plain water. It's not a broth or anything, and there are absolutely no spices. You know us Mexicans... we fucking hate spices.

Mustard is my go-to condiment. It's considerably healthier than ketchup so I switched to it for pretty much any burger, sausage, hot dog things. You have to get into good mustards though, no no-name plain yellow crap. Get yourself some craft mustards preferably with good ground seeds. That shit is delicious (and expensive).

Getting back to earlier stuff, fried eggs on burgers and vinegar on chips are perfectly normal things here.

There's a chinese place near my workplace that makes the best frog legs I have ever had. They have a light spicy breading with jalapenos. They're amazing.

This same chinese place makes Omasum...basically tripe. It wasn't horrible, but not great; I bet menudo is pretty good.

But, yeah, I love mustard, in all its varieties. Yellow mustard is good. Spicy brown is better. I love some grey poupon. I LOVE the crap out of good chinese mustard. We got some specialty jalapeno mustard that was to die for. Honey mustards are wonderful. Etc. Etc. Etc. :)

Only a few things I actually like that processed pure shit on...Double Quarter Pounders and Jack in the Box tacos. The tacos you can't get around it...it's all thrown in and deep fried as one piece lol...and I tried a DQP without the cheese before...it's not good. Hell, even a quarter pounder isn't good.

Maybe it's the kind of cheese they use at McDonald's...it's not as 'disgusting' tasting as kraft singles.

OH! There's a place here called White Spot...at my ex's work they have a sort of fast food place in the hospital (it's regularly a sit down place, but I've never seen any) and they make this fucking AMAZING breakfast sandwich.

Fried Egg
Lots of Bacon
Seasoned Hash Brown Patty
Processed Cheese
Special Relish
Mayo.

I've tried it without the cheese and it's not the same. I hate the relish and I don't like mayo...and I swear to god I could eat 5 in a single setting, feel like shit, and do it all again the next day. They're THAT fucking good.

When I was younger I had a fondness for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. There are some pictures floating around here of when I made one a few years ago to relive my youth.

BEHOLD!

Wait, doesn't everybody?

If not, then brace yourselves: I also eat the tails on fried shrimp.

I also eat the tails on fried shrimp.

Are the tails even edible? Isn't that like... bone? D:

[Wilkz07]

Indian Food. nuff said. that stuff is weird!

You know... there's just too goddamn much going on in that picture to NOT have me laughing like an immature ass.
hehe

It's edible. I don't consider it tasty or even desireable, but I've eaten them before and didn't get sick or anything from it.
Honestly, I had no clue what to do with the tails when it was so nicely set in my shrimp tempura... so I just ate the whole thing. lol

[MagGnome]

Yep, there's the picture. I look so young in that one. It's only been three years. 0_o

I'm mature.


Also, I like ranch dressing on tons of things. Sandwiches, most fried foods, apples, I even make baked potatoes with nothing on it but ranch. No butter, no cheese, JUST ranch.

Speaking of, I always eat the skin of baked potatoes. Don't know why.

I sure have alot of freudian slips..

I know alot of people that like Ranch on everything.

My grandfather told me the skin of the baked potato is where all the flavor and nutrients are.

Some of my friends think hummus, Israeli salad, and couscous are unusual, but they're philistines.

[Generation ABXY]

Are the tails even edible?

Absolutely. As Khrymsyn said, there's nothing to really get out of it... but, yeah, you can. It's just something I started as a kid, and no one stopped me before it became habitual.

Intentional or not, I got a chuckle. :D

[TheKeck]

Really? So you polled 111 million of them?

Yes, of course. What, you think I'm just making wild generalizations here?

Regardless, that's because the number of continents is bullshit. It's the number that's wrong; not the Mexicans. :p

Could be that's true. The whole Asia/Europe thing is a problem. Still, everyone knows there are 7 continents. The funny thing about Mexico is that they would give wildly different answers. Everything from 2 to 6, but never 7. :p

A statistically insignificant minority, I'm sure. ;)
Nah. :cool:

[DeathtollWRX]

Okay, how many of you had the sniffles then snorted all the snot up then swallowed it?


GROSS!

(come on, I know some of you do that.. not everyone spits it out on the street)

[Savok]

Actually due to some kind of annoying fuckup in my throat, mucus drips down the back of my throat all day.

Spitting it out on the street... you shouldn't even be out there, spreading disease.

[MagGnome]

I went to Shish last night, while is a great Mediterranean place here in Saint Paul. I had the Maza platter, which consisted of the following:

Hummus, tabouli, falafel, feta cheese, yogurt sauce, salad, baba ghanoush, kalamata olives, and warm pita bread. It was wonderful. :)

I love how Firefox thinks most of the above is misspelled. :p

[Akion-Totocha]

It's because firefox is a fox entirely constructed of fire. The fox aspect means that it must be all meat - steak... catfood... babies. Anything else is just a gross waste of letters. The fire means everything must be flame grilled.

Firefox: NO FUD 4 U! D<

Why is top piece of bread a nice 1/2" thick and the bottom slice is like 3"???

[Hawkzombie]

I think he cut a roll or something.

[MagGnome]

It's not a roll. It's pumpernickel bread.

Part of it might be an issue of perspective. That and the bread was likely sliced somewhat unevenly at the store.

Thanks shunoshi. Now all I can see is that giant piece of bread. :p

[Generation ABXY]

Why is top piece of bread a nice 1/2" thick and the bottom slice is like 3"???

Yeah, 'cause that's what's unusual about the picture. :D

[Akion-Totocha]

That picture makes me giggle when I am sad. Not only because of my filthy mind, but also because I can just picture Maggs chomping it and the satisfying "crunch crunch crunch" that eating food like that would make :3

[MagGnome]

It was a nice, thick, crunchy pickle with creamy organic peanut butter and fresh-baked pumpernickel bread. It was delicious.

[Akion-Totocha]

*giggles* Om nom nom nom nom. Wrooooaar!!!

[Generation ABXY]

I believe I thought it was gravy the first time I saw it, way back at EvAv. :D

[MagGnome]

Gravy? :eek:

That's just gross!

[Generation ABXY]

Well, yes, I thought so, too. That may have been the first time I PM'd you... but I had to know what I was looking at (not that pickles and peanut butter sounded like a marked improvement).

[MagGnome]

That was back in the good days of Evil Avatar, when things were a-movin' and a'shakin'. I had just been crowned Prom Queen and decided that the only wait to celebrate was with a big ol' pickle slathered in creamy nut butter and shoved between a pair of dark buns.

[Generation ABXY]

Prom Queen? I can't tell if you're joking or not. :D

[Hawkzombie]

a big ol' pickle slathered in creamy nut butter and shoved between a pair of dark buns.

I can't look at any of those things the same way ever again.

[MagGnome]

Mission Accomplished. :D
