as a counterpart to pythonzzz’s thread, what about those things you like to eat which others might find weird?
I love extremely sour things. I’ve peeled and eaten lemons and limes as though they were tangerines, and can plow through Shock Tarts and War Heads until my tongue is raw.
I don’t have very many. But sour cream on my french toast (with syrup) is crazy delicious, but I can’t get very many people to just try it.
I drink the juice from tuna (canned in water). I’m not going to say it’s something I really, really like, but I am fond of it.
Burnt cheese on a pizza. Yum. Totally disgusts my daughter.
Yellow mustard on onion rings.
Cabbage in any form- kimchi, sauerkraut, stuffed, red cabbage, coleslaw, raw, stir fried. Love it.
Gefilte fish- loved it as a kid and still do. My kids love it to.
Mushrooms. I know many people hate them, but I seek them out.
If you leave me alone with a vanilla frosted cake, in two minutes that cake will be naked.
I loves me some vanilla frosting!
Tripe soup.
Liver, especially poultry livers.
Stupid spicy things.
Blood sausage.
Beef tartare.
Most fermented things.
Marmite and Vegemite.
Salted (salmiak) licorice
Almost everyone I know makes fun of my fondness for pickled beets. My husband actually leaves the room when I eat beets of any kind and pickled is worse. I also like to put a hard boiled egg in there and let it turn red and pickle.
Mmm…both pickled beets and pickled eggs are awesome!
Everything that’s been mentioned so far . . . well, except for blood sausage.
Plus:
Chicken feet, if I can get them.
Home-made gefilte fish . . . and tasting it before it’s cooked.
Blue cheese dressing on rice cakes.
Home-made chopped liver.
Peanut butter with chunks of salty butter.
Beef tartare.
Anything pickled, especially beets.
Anchovies in salads
Anything with mayonnaise.
Peanut butter and salami.
Some might think this is weird, but I love to mix flavored yogurt with cottage cheese.
Homemade salt pickles—dill pickles canned with so much salt it’ll knock your socks off. Or you can slice dill pickles and shake a layer of salt on them.
Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Butternut bread, creamy Skippy peanut putter and store brand dill hamburger chip pickles.
Are you a cat?
My favorite meal is liver and lima beans.
Doritos dipped in cottage cheese, discovered one night in college after a bender.
I also adore buttered-popcorn flavored Jelly Bellies. Everyone else I know thinks they’re disgusting.
Lots of people are grossed out by the notion of eating squid, but properly prepared, it’s heavenly.
It’s really good! And for something different, if you hit it with the blender it gets all creamy and mousse-y.
I also love cottage cheese and jam on toast. And ranch dressing on pizza, but that’s not weird, that’s just delicious.
Try pickled jalapeno slices in cottage cheese. Yum.
Cream cheese on a toasted onion bagel, with a good squirt of Huy Fong sriracha.
Cantaloupe and cream gravy…
My mother used to eat creamed peas on toast with a teaspoon or two of sugar on top. I couldn’t even stand to be in the room when she put that concoction together.
I used to put vinegar on my eggs instead of ketchup, which grossed a few folks out, but when salsa became popular I opted for that instead. It has saved the ‘delicate’ sensibilities of my family.
