as a counterpart to [pythonzzz](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=754804)’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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Some might think this is weird, but I love to mix flavored yogurt with cottage cheese. 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. ---

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.
