I’m not looking for you went to Mongolia and watched someone eat sheep eyes here.
What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever seen someone eat, of their own volition, out of common household ingredients? No bets, dares, or your brother made it for you.
For example, my mother-in-law just calmly served herself a cup of mayonnaise and a bowl of Fritos and then ate them. Frito dipped in unadulterated mayo. Chomp, smack, swallow. shiver I had to leave the room. I know that mayo is part of all kinds of dips, but that was just a bridge too far for me.
Hah, just reading the title, before reading any part of the OP, first thing I thought of was a co-worker who used to eat peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches. I tried a bite once, because I couldn’t scoff what she touted as deee-licious without having tried it - I say shit like this to my friends. It was just as vile as I had expected.
Mom, every once in a while, will dollop a glop of Miracle Whip (has to be) into the center of a canned pear half and eat it with a spoon.
I grew up eating these and still indulge from time to time. I also like my hot dogs with peanut butter and sriracha.
My stepfather liked to make toast and then stuff it into a glass of milk; when it was good and soggy, he’d eat it with a spoon. I had a childhood friend who ate raw strips of bacon.
I got a co-worker to dip a pickle in something, yogurt maybe?
Not totally odd, but I can eat tomato paste like yogurt. Okay, it’s not like a I can eat a whole can of it, but if I’m using it for a recipe, I’ll usually save a spoonful or two for myself (try it, it’s really good). Oh, and so is mashed (instant) potatoes on a bun, dipped in melted butter. That was my lunch for a while. It works best on a hot dog but. When my ex was in culinary school she was like ‘woe is me, that’s two starches, you can’t do that’.
At the cafeteria where my father ate lunch, there was someone who put mustard in his coffee. And I had an uncle who put ketchup into chicken soup. The soup had not been skimmed and he couldn’t stand the undisguised taste of the fat.
I once saw someone in Japan eating raw chicken sushi and he convinced me to try it. It was delicious. He was a Japanese who had lived for years in Montreal and I knew him moderately well. I also ate raw horsemeat sushi, as well as raw blowfish (but not prepared with some of the toxin added for zing).
My best friend eats artichokes dunked in peanut butter. Not a satay type thing or even “real” peanut-butter (peanuts/salt) but the sugary fake fluffy stuff like Jif or Skippy.
